Candied Pie
Candied Pie is a modern hybrid strain born from a cross between Candy Rain and Humble Pie. The lineage reflects a contemporary approach to breeding, combining the genetic characteristics of its parents to create a balanced hybrid representative of modern cultivation trends. Given the nature of its development, specific origin details beyond its parentage remain undocumented, and no specific breeder or release timeline has been officially recorded for this variety.
The terpene profile of Candied Pie is defined by a primary presence of caryophyllene, followed by limonene, linalool, and humulene, with beta-pinene, myrcene, bisabolol, pinene, and terpinolene rounding out the complex aromatic structure. This combination dictates the sensory experience, offering a profile that leans into spicy, citrus, and floral undertones. Growers can expect a moderate cultivation difficulty, with plants reaching maturity after 65 days of flowering. The strain is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, and it is documented to produce a high yield.
As a THC-dominant variety, Candied Pie produces effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making it a functional choice for those managing stress, pain, or sleep-related concerns. The combination of its terpene-dense profile and its specific cannabinoid content provides a consistent experience for users seeking those particular therapeutic outcomes. While the strain has established itself as an effective modern hybrid, there are currently no notable offspring recorded in its genetic lineage.
Terpene Profile

●●○○
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.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
