Origin
Rubicon's parents are a trade secret, kept quiet along with the grow method. What is on record is a 2016 Colorado Cannabis Cup win for best CBD flower and a stable one-to-one ratio. The award and the ratio are the whole identity; there is no family tree to point to.

About
Rubicon won a Best CBD award in 2016 and has never revealed how it was made.
The parents are a deliberate secret. What is documented is a roughly one-to-one ratio of THC to CBD, both landing in the high single digits, and a lavender-and-apricot nose unusual for cannabis.
The ratio is the identity.
What to Expect
Rubicon is mild and heavily relaxing. There is a light, tingly lift early, but Leafly's reviewers land overwhelmingly on relaxed, at 88 percent of a solid sample, with happy at 70. The balanced cannabinoids keep the intoxication low throughout.
Dry mouth runs high at 41 percent, well ahead of dry eyes at 11, and the harder side effects barely register. A hungry note follows at 29. Not for anyone wanting a strong high.
Flavor and Aroma
Rubicon is a pungent, sweet, earthy smell with a distinct lavender note. The flavor turns toward violet and apricot with a honeyed, tropical sweetness. It is one of the more floral, perfume-like profiles on a shelf.
Terpenes Explained
Rubicon has no terpene test in our data, with Humulene, Camphene, Caryophyllene and Linalool named and nothing measured.
That lavender-and-apricot character sits in lighter compounds a standard panel does not report. A Rubicon jar with a genuine floral, perfumed smell is the real thing.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Rubicon runs a roughly one-to-one ratio, with THC and CBD both in the high single digits. It is a low-intoxication strain, and the exact balance is worth checking on a current test. Nothing else in the cannabinoid data stands out.
Rubicon is a balanced, low-intoxication strain, so it is a fair pick when you want the mildest possible effect.
