40 Thieves is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from Icy Hot. As a cultivar categorized for its contemporary breeding status, it is engineered for consistent performance across both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers can expect a flowering period of 60 days, with the strain maintaining a moderate difficulty level while rewarding successful harvests with high yields.

The chemical profile of 40 Thieves is defined by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by secondary caryophyllene and tertiary limonene content. This specific combination of terpenes dictates the strain's sensory expression, providing a distinct aromatic and flavorful experience. As a THC-dominant variety, these terpenes work in concert to facilitate its therapeutic potential and influence the overall user experience.

Upon consumption, 40 Thieves induces effects primarily described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking to manage stress, alleviate pain, or improve sleep quality. The genetic footprint of this strain is well-established through its notable offspring, which include Gunners Exchange, Soul Snatcher, and Spice 1, confirming its utility as a foundational component in modern hybridization efforts.
