1. A cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof, which produces a female inflorescence, said inflorescence comprising: (17) (4)

a) B_D/B_Dgenotype;

b) a terpene profile in which myrcene is not the dominant terpene; and

c) a terpene oil content greater than about 1.0% by weight;

wherein the terpene oil content is the additive content of the terpenes in the inflorescence's terpene profile; wherein the terpene profile consists of terpinolene, alpha phellandrene, beta ocimene, carene, limonene, gamma terpinene, alpha pinene, alpha terpinene, beta pinene, fenchol, camphene, alpha terpineol, alpha humulene, beta caryophyllene, linalool, caryophyllene oxide, and myrcene; and wherein the terpene contents are measured by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and are calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence; wherein cellular cultures representative of said plants are deposited under Bigelow NCMA Nos. “PP03”, “PP11”, “YEL03_P26_S1_51”, “XC537_B4C503_20”, “O3N505.03N509.65”, and “P08S174_P38S108_16”.

2. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the female inflorescence comprises a cannabidiol (CBD) content that is at least 3.0%, wherein the CBD content comprises the content of acidic and decarboxylated CBD as measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence. (0)

3. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the female inflorescence comprises a cannabidiol (CBD) content that is at least 6.0%, wherein the CBD content comprises the content of acidic and decarboxylated CBD as measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence. (0)

4. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the female inflorescence comprises at least 1.4% terpene oil content. (0)

5. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the female inflorescence comprises between 1.0% and 2.0% terpene oil content. (0)

6. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein terpinolene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

7. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein limonene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

8. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein alpha pinene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

9. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein alpha humulene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

10. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein beta caryophyllene is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

11. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein linalool is the most abundant terpene in said terpene profile. (0)

12. A method of breeding for a cannabis plant, wherein said cannabis plant produces an inflorescence comprising a B_D/B_Dgenotype, a terpene oil content greater than 1.0%, and a terpene profile in which myrcene is not the dominant terpene, said method comprising: (0) (4)

(i) making a cross between a first cannabis plant of claim 1, or an asexual clone of said first cannabis plant and a second cannabis plant to produce an F1 seed:

(ii) harvesting the resulting seed;

(iii) growing one or more of said harvested seed; and

(iv) selecting a cannabis plant with a desired phenotype;

13. A method of producing a cannabis plant, wherein said cannabis plant produces an inflorescence comprising a B_D/B_Dgenotype, a terpene oil content greater than 1.0%, and a terpene profile in which myrcene is not the dominant terpene, said method comprising: (0) (3)

14. A cannabis extract from the cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1. (1) (0)

16. An edible product comprising cannabis tissue from the cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1. (1) (0)

18. The cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein said plant part is selected from the group consisting of trichomes, sun leaves, or inflorescences. (0)

19. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the female inflorescence comprises a cannabidiol (CBD) content that is at least 9.0%, wherein the CBD content comprises the content of acidic and decarboxylated CBD as measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence. (0)

20. The Cannabis plant, or an asexual clone of said Cannabis plant, or a plant part, tissue, or cell thereof of claim 1, wherein the female inflorescence comprises a cannabidiol (CBD) content that is at least 12.0%, wherein the CBD content comprises the content of acidic and decarboxylated CBD as measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and calculated based on dry weight of the inflorescence. (0)
