Burn
Burn is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from a cross of Cherry Pie Kush and High School Sweetheart. Information regarding the specific breeding history and origins of this strain remains limited, as there is no documented record of its creator or the precise geographic setting of its development. Given this lack of formal background, the lineage represents a straightforward union of its two parent varieties, resulting in a plant that has been vetted through standard cultivation cycles.
The terpene profile of Burn is robust and complex, defined by a confirmed lineup led by caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene, followed by linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, myrcene, beta-pinene, nerolidol, pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, borneol, camphene, and valencene. This wide-ranging chemical composition contributes to an multifaceted sensory experience, where spicy and citrus-forward notes provide the initial aromatics, while the more subtle floral and camphoraceous compounds emerge in the finish. The interaction of these specific terpenes provides a balanced aromatic complexity, grounded firmly by the dominance of caryophyllene.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Burn is reported to produce effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make it a candidate for users seeking assistance with stress management, pain relief, and support for sleep. Cultivation of this strain is rated at a moderate difficulty level, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from the plant, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. Currently, there are no recorded offspring attributed to Burn.

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
