Khalifa Mints Strain: Genetics, THC, Flavour and Price

Last updated 18 October 2026 from live stock · By the Bud Cargo team

What strain is Khalifa Mints?

Khalifa Mints is a hybrid made by crossing Khalifa Kush with The Menthol. Wiz Khalifa’s brand, Khalifa Kush, says the strain first built its following with its genetics partner Compound Genetics, and that Wiz chose this cross himself as the first new phenotype to add to the Khalifa Kush menu.

The two parents explain the character. Khalifa Kush is Wiz Khalifa’s signature OG, which Leafly lists as descended from OG Kush with pine, lemon and citrus flavours. The Menthol is Compound Genetics’ flagship pollen donor; Strainpedia describes it as Gelato 45 crossed with a White Diesel and High Octane × Jet Fuel G6 line, which is where the gelato cream and the sharp gas come from. Leafly’s top flavours for The Menthol are, unsurprisingly, menthol and mint.

Is Khalifa Mints part of the Mints family?

Only by flavour, not by direct descent. “Mints” strains such as Kush Mints and Animal Mints are bred toward a cool, menthol top note over something sweet, and Khalifa Mints fits that style. But Kush Mints is Bubba Kush × Animal Mints, so the two share no parent. If a menu calls them siblings, it means they taste alike.

Is Khalifa Mints a sativa or indica?

Khalifa Mints is an indica-dominant hybrid. AllBud lists it at 80% indica and 20% sativa, and the Ontario Cannabis Store, Ontario’s government cannabis retailer, labels the Frost Cannabis version “indica dominant”. Leafly files it as a plain hybrid.

The label is less useful than it sounds. Khalifa Kush describes the high as “uplifting, active, and cerebral”, while Leafly’s user reports lead with relaxed, euphoric and sleepy. That spread is normal for a hybrid: early effects lean on the head, later ones on the body, and dose matters more than the indica or sativa tag.

What does Khalifa Mints taste and smell like?

Khalifa Mints tastes like cool mint and menthol laid over OG gas, with pine, lemon and a creamy, sweet finish. Khalifa Kush sums it up as “classic OG gas, creamy gelato and minty menthol”. Leafly’s most reported flavours are menthol and mint, and AllBud adds citrus, diesel, lemon, sour and sweet, with aromas of pine, flowers and spice.

The terpenes line up with that profile. Strainpedia lists beta-caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene as the main terpenes, and the OCS lot shows farnesene, limonene, linalool and trans-caryophyllene. Limonene reads as citrus, caryophyllene as pepper and spice, and linalool as soft and floral. Our cannabis terpenes guide explains each one.

How strong is Khalifa Mints?

Khalifa Mints is a high-THC strain, usually in the mid to high 20s. Published figures vary because each source measures different lots:

Treat these as typical ranges, not a promise for a particular jar. Grower, harvest and cure all move the number. We don’t publish a lab-tested THC figure for the Khalifa Mints lot we stock now, so we don’t quote one. Our guide to reading THC percentages on a label explains what these numbers can and can’t tell you.

How does Khalifa Mints compare with Khalifa Kush and Kush Mints?

Khalifa Mints keeps Khalifa Kush’s OG backbone and adds The Menthol’s mint and cream. Kush Mints tastes similar but comes from a different family tree.

If you like the minty style, Kush Mints AAAA+ and Buddha Boys Hit Mints AAAA+ are both on the menu. For the OG side, our Skywalker OG guide covers another OG Kush relative we stock.

Is Khalifa Mints good?

Khalifa Mints is a well-regarded modern hybrid, and it is among the few celebrity strains with a documented, named cross behind it. Its appeal is the flavour: real menthol on the inhale, with enough OG gas to keep it from tasting like candy. Leafly’s reviewers rate it relaxing and euphoric, and its published THC sits near the top of the range.

It is not for everyone. Leafly’s reports also list dry mouth, dry eyes and anxiety at the top of the negatives, which is common with very potent flower. Start small if you haven’t tried it. This describes what consumers report, not a health claim.
