Charlotte’s Cherries
Charlotte’s Cherries is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its parent, Colorado Cherry. Developed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this variety presents a moderate level of agricultural difficulty, yet rewards the grower with high yields after a flowering period of exactly 63 days. Its genetic impact on the industry is evidenced by its role as a parent to the notable offspring Cherrywine.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Charlotte’s Cherries is driven by a complex, wide-ranging terpene arrangement starting with caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene as the dominant contributors. This chemical foundation extends into pinene, humulene, ocimene, and nerolidol, followed by secondary traces of linalool, beta-pinene, and guaiol. The profile concludes with p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide, resulting in a nuanced sensory experience defined by this specific hierarchy of volatile compounds.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Charlotte’s Cherries induces effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a functional option for users seeking management for stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. By serving as the foundation for the lineage of Cherrywine, Charlotte’s Cherries maintains a significant position within modern hybrid breeding programs.

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.
happy
