Pineapple Express lab report

Yes: Pineapple Express cleared the 20% line in 48% of 461 flower tests, while 25% was much less common at 4.3% and 30% stayed at 0%.¹

Washington is the high side of the state comparison: 67% of its 116 tests reached 20%, and its median was 21.00%; Nevada trailed at 35% of 119 tests with a median of 18.77%.¹ Testing rules, lab mix and grower mix vary by state, so the difference is not plant-only.

No: 0% of Pineapple Express tests reached the 28% top figure from Barney’s Farm, and the single-number claims all sit above the lab midpoint, with four out of four exceeding the 19.80% median.^1,3

Seller and label numbers were harder to hit: the median seller benchmark was reached by 7.2% of tests, while the median database benchmark was reached by 26%.¹ The lowest single claim was 20% from Leafly; 48% of tests met or exceeded that number.^1,4

For ranges, the 12–27% span from Weedmaps covered 97% of lab results, while the 17–22% span from G13 Labs covered 61%.^1,5,6 Published figures are benchmarks, not a substitute for the certificate of analysis on a specific batch.

No: Pineapple Express terpene reports instead put β-caryophyllene first in 82 of 125 reports, or 66%; terpinolene led 14%, and α-humulene led 8.8%, leaving a clear but not overwhelming leader.¹

Both Leafly and Barney’s Farm name myrcene as dominant.^3,4 Lab tests disagreed: β-myrcene led 8.0%, while β-caryophyllene led 66%.¹ The terpene subset is mostly Nevada: 119 of 125 reports came from that state, so these leader rates lean heavily on its batches.¹

The closest terpene matches for Pineapple Express are Girl Scout Cookies at 82%, Grease Monkey at 82% and Cheetah Piss at 80%; Durban Poison sits farthest away in the 36-strain pool at 34%.¹

The nearest matches also share β-caryophyllene as their lead terpene; Durban Poison, the farthest match, is led by terpinolene.¹

For the match score, we start with median lab levels for eight terpenes, express each as its share of that eight-terpene sum, and add the shared shares between profiles. Identical mixes score 100; we leave a strain out until it has 30 tests reporting individual terpenes.¹ Lab chemistry is all this measures; it is not an effects forecast.

Among qualifying strains, by the share of tests at 25% or more, Pineapple Express ranks 44th with a 4.3% rate, putting that measure in the bottom third.¹ The median-THC table puts Pineapple Express 34th of 52 at 19.80%, a middle-third position, with Blue Dream at 19.96% immediately above and Girl Scout Cookies at 19.72% immediately below.¹

For variability, Pineapple Express is tighter than most: the central 17.54%–21.75% range covers 4.21 points, the 9th out of 52 by narrowness among strains meeting the test minimum.¹

With differing grower and state mixes, Pineapple Express THC can differ within a state, and across the broader set of 8 labs meeting the 20-test floor, medians ran from 16.13% at Lab G (Nevada) to 22.00% at Lab B (Washington), leaving 5.87 points between them.¹

Within Nevada alone, the 3 labs that met the same cutoff still differed by 5.14 points, with medians from 16.13% to 21.27%.¹

Different labs also tested different growers' flower, so the spread is not proof that any lab reads high. Labs are anonymized here; the download restores the lab names, and Lab A marks the largest Pineapple Express test count.

Yes: stronger Pineapple Express tests carried higher terpene weight, with the high-THC third at 20.16% or above showing a 1.27% median total-terpene result, versus 0.97% for the low-THC third at 17.23% or below across 126 pairs.¹

Only Nevada had enough paired tests for a state check; there, the high-THC third's total-terpene median was 1.20%, versus 0.91% for the low-THC third.¹ Total terpenes are an aroma-compound measurement by weight, not an effects reading.

No in Nevada: the pooled Pineapple Express yearly line still points upward, with 2018 as the first qualifying year at 18.94% across 26 tests and 2022 as the last at 20.21% across 217, making the overall change +1.27 points.¹

The Nevada subset runs the other way: 2020 had a 20.16% median, but 2022 ended at 14.53%, a change of −5.63 points.¹ Which states supplied tests in each year therefore drives part of the pooled trend.

A year is included only when it has at least 20 tests.¹

Mostly flower: among records using only Pineapple Express as the product name, 517 of 935 were flower, or 55%; concentrates accounted for 33%, followed by other or unrecorded at 4.7% and pre-rolls at 4.5%.¹ We use flower only for this site's strain figures.

We also excluded 376 longer records that still contained Pineapple Express, or 29% of all name-containing results; the largest were “Purple Pineapple Express” (137), “Stiiizy Infused Distillate Pineapple Express Bulk” (25) and “Purple Pineapple Express #4” (24).¹ Added wording can mark a different plant, cross or CBD-specific item, so our name-matching rules keep those out.

Yes: in the Oct 4, 2026 Weedmaps snapshot, Pineapple Express flower had 368 store listings inside 50 miles of each market's center and appeared in 17 of 27 markets, ranking 14th of 58, a top-third menu showing.²

Prices did not point one way: exact-eighth medians were $35.00 for New York against $36.08 for the same-menu benchmark, $29.49 for Los Angeles against $25.00, $43.20 for Chicago against $40.00, $15.00 for Detroit against $16.00, and $30.00 for Portland against $25.00.² Pineapple Express came in below that benchmark in two of five comparable markets.²
