618 OG
618 OG is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Royal Fuel. Well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this strain reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period and is categorized as having moderate growing difficulty while delivering a high yield. Its genetic lineage has served as a foundational building block for a variety of subsequent cultivars, including Backwoods Wine, Shawnee Breath, Shawnee Medicine Man, Shawnee Swamp Monster, and Shawnee Swamp Snacks.
The aromatic and flavor profile of 618 OG is directed by a specific terpene sequence, starting with dominant myrcene, followed by secondary caryophyllene, and rounded out by tertiary limonene. These compounds combine to define the sensory experience of the strain, grounding the profile in the herbal notes of its primary terpene while providing the structural influences of caryophyllene and the citrus notes contributed by limonene.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, 618 OG offers a consistent experiential profile that leaves users feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic properties make the strain a frequent choice for the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Its reputation as a versatile genetic parent continues to influence a wide array of modern hybrids, cementing its function as a reliable contributor to diverse breeding projects.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
