Bon Bons
Bon Bons is a modern hybrid-sativa strain born from the crossing of Original Glue and Triangle Mints. Information regarding the specific breeders, date of origin, or the exact rationale behind this pairing remains undocumented, reflecting the often ambiguous nature of modern cannabis genetics. As a deliberate hybrid, it demonstrates the characteristics of its parentage through a consistent development profile that benefits from both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments.
The sensory profile of Bon Bons is defined by a complex terpene arrangement. Its confirmed composition is led by caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, and terpinolene. This combination yields a specific aromatic and flavor nuance shaped by the presence of both spicy, wood-derived compounds and fruity, floral undertones. Growers can expect to reach harvest after a 75-day flowering period, a phase during which the plant exhibits a moderate level of cultivation difficulty while ultimately providing a high yield of THC-dominant flowers.
Users generally report that Bon Bons induces effects characterized by creativity, an uplifted mood, and a sense of happiness. These qualities make the strain particularly well-suited for social interactions, focus-intensive tasks, or periods requiring creative output. While the strain provides these distinct experiences, there are currently no recorded notable offspring, marking Bon Bons as a distinct entity within the current cannabis landscape.

●●○○
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.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
