Al Capone
Al Capone is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from a genetic lineage encompassing White Fire, L.A. Ultra, and an additional unknown strain. This particular selection is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, requiring a moderate level of grower expertise. With a flowering period spanning 63 days, the strain is noted for producing a high yield. Its genetic influence has reached subsequent generations, serving as a parent to notable cultivars including Bacon, GinCake, and L.A. Ultra.
The chemical profile of Al Capone is marked by a complex terpene hierarchy, led by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. Secondary and tertiary notes are provided by humulene, linalool, beta-pinene, nerolidol, bisabolol, pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, guaiol, and terpinolene. This specific arrangement of compounds dictates the strain's sensory expression, resulting in a multifaceted aromatic and flavor experience defined by the interplay of these thirteen distinct terpenes.
As a THC-dominant variety, Al Capone is primarily utilized for its ability to induce states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These physiological and psychological effects make the strain a candidate for addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep quality. Beyond its immediate therapeutic utility, the strain remains a consistent presence in modern breeding programs due to its documented contributions to significant hybrid lineages.

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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
happy
