Burma - Hybrid
Burma is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossing of Burmese Skunk and Skunk No. 1. While its name suggests a geographic origin, its status as a modern hybrid classifies it as a deliberate breeding project rather than an indigenous landrace. Its genetic lineage is defined by this specific synthesis of Skunk genetics, culminating in a plant that balances the characteristics of its indica and sativa parentage.
The chemical profile of Burma is dominated by myrcene, which is supported by secondary notes of caryophyllene and tertiary accents of limonene. This specific terpene hierarchy informs the strain's sensory expression, providing a complex aromatic structure. Cultivators can expect a moderate level of difficulty when managing its development, with the plant reaching the conclusion of its flowering cycle at 63 days. When grown in either indoor or outdoor environments, the strain is capable of producing a high yield.
As a THC-dominant variety, Burma produces effects primarily characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These therapeutic attributes make it a frequent choice for users seeking support with stress, pain, and sleep. Beyond its immediate effects, the strain has secured its place in the broader cannabis landscape as the parent of the notable offspring known as KGB, which further cements its utility in subsequent breeding efforts.

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.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy

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