Choco Gorilla is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the union of Original Glue and Polar Bear. The specific history of its breeding remains undocumented, as there is no provided record regarding the exact origin, creator, or timeline of its development. As a project of modern genetics, it is cultivated both indoors and outdoors, demonstrating a moderate level of difficulty and a capacity for a high yield over a flowering period of 60 days.
The terpene profile of Choco Gorilla is diverse, anchored by caryophyllene followed by terpinolene, limonene, myrcene, humulene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, ocimene, linalool, caryophyllene-oxide, and finally pinene. Because this profile is based on direct lab and breeder data, these results are confirmed with caryophyllene serving as the primary aromatic component. This chemical composition drives the strain's sensory expression, providing a complex aromatic experience shaped by its robust terpene hierarchy.
This THC-dominant hybrid produces effects centered on feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. Its therapeutic application is frequently cited for the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Despite its status as a modern hybrid and its documented parentage, there are no recorded notable offspring currently attributed to Choco Gorilla.

PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
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.
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.
