Breath Of Purple Dragon
Breath of Purple Dragon is a modern, hybrid cultivar with an undocumented lineage. As a result of its mysterious genetic background, its exact heritage remains unknown. The strain is suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, possessing a moderate difficulty level and capable of producing high yields. Flowering time for this variety concludes at approximately 63 days.
The terpene profile of Breath of Purple Dragon is primary in caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, pinene, humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, and linalool. Minor concentrations of beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide further complex its chemical composition. This diverse array of secondary metabolites creates a distinct sensory experience that defines the strain's aromatic and flavor profile.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Breath of Purple Dragon is reported to produce effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make the strain a candidate for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Its influence on the cannabis gene pool is evidenced by its notable offspring, which include CBD Dragon and Grape Dragon.

●●○○
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.
