Boston Cream Pie is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Project 4516. Cultivated to perform well in both indoor and outdoor environments, the plant reaches maturity after a 65-day flowering period. This variety is categorized as having a moderate growth difficulty, yet it is capable of producing a high yield for those who maintain proper conditions.
The chemical character of the strain is defined by a complex terpene profile led by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, terpinolene, pinene, and myrcene. These components contribute to a nuanced sensory experience that mirrors the complexity of a THC-dominant hybrid with 24.5% THC and 0% CBD.
Those who consume Boston Cream Pie report feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make the strain a functional choice for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. The genetic impact of this variety is evidenced by its role as a parent for notable offspring, including Rasberry Froyo, Clockwork Purple, Shepherd's Pie BX, and Sweet Cream.

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.
