Born Killer is a modern hybrid-indica strain whose exact origins and complete lineage remain undocumented. While the strain is recognized to have descended from Pestilence, no further breeder documentation exists, and its genetic background remains largely unconfirmed. Given the limited historical record, there is no public information regarding the specific intent behind its initial development or the geographic origin of its ancestral lines.
The chemical profile of Born Killer is anchored by a confirmed dominance of limonene, followed by myrcene, linalool, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, pinene, humulene, and terpinolene. Because these measurements are gathered from averaged and published data, this exact hierarchy of terpenes is likely representative of the strain’s chemical consistency. In terms of cannabinoid content, the strain functions as a THC-dominant variety with an estimated 24.2% THC, while CBD levels are effectively absent and CBG concentrations reside at an estimated 0.11%.
Users typically report that Born Killer induces a state of physical relaxation coupled with mental focus. Due to this effect profile, it is frequently utilized by patients seeking to address pain, stress, or challenges with sleep. Cultivation of the strain is considered moderately difficult, with plants requiring a 67-day flowering cycle. The strain is capable of growing in both indoor and outdoor environments while producing a high yield. As of currently available records, there is no documented offspring for Born Killer.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
