Artificial Tears
Artificial Tears is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Miracle Alien Cookies and Lambsbread. Beyond these specific parental lineages, the precise origins and developmental history of the strain remain undocumented, leaving its broader emergence in the market a matter of speculation rather than historical record. As a modern hybrid, it represents a contemporary breeding effort that combines distinct genetic profiles without adhering to landrace or heirloom classifications.
The chemical character of Artificial Tears is defined by a primary presence of caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, bisabolol, linalool, beta-pinene, pinene, and terpinolene. This terpene profile likely contributes to a complex sensory experience that integrates spicy, earthy, and citrus-forward notes. Because these terpenes interact in a specific order of dominance, the strain is expected to offer a balanced aromatic profile that reflects the interplay of these constituent compounds.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Artificial Tears consistently produces effects that leave users feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for managing stress and physical pain, while also serving as a frequent selection for those seeking assistance with sleep. The strain is well-suited for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield for those who can manage its moderate flowering difficulty over a 70-day cycle. Currently, there are no notable offspring recorded for this strain in the broader genetic registry.

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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
