Cheri
Cheri is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossbreeding of Forbidden Fruit and The Original Z. As a product of these specific genetic lines, its lineage is documented as a direct result of these two cultivars. The strain is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, with a flowering period that concludes at 63 days. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which presents a moderate level of difficulty throughout its growth cycle.
The terpene profile of Cheri is led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, linalool, limonene, pinene, humulene, beta-pinene, terpinolene, bisabolol, nerolidol, ocimene, and guaiol. This complex chemical composition contributes to an aromatic experience that spans these twelve distinct compounds. Because this is a THC-dominant hybrid, the strain provides a potent cannabinoid profile that dictates its primary psychoactive characteristics.
Consumers of Cheri typically report feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make the strain a common choice for addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. While it serves as a distinct modern hybrid, there are currently no recorded offspring for this variety. Its utility is grounded in these specific therapeutic applications, providing a consistent experience for those seeking relief.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

●●○○
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: 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

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