Consumption
Consumption is a modern hybrid strain developed through the deliberate crossing of TK, NL5, and Haze. Designed for versatile cultivation, this strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield after a 63-day flowering period. While its cultivation demands a moderate level of expertise, the genetic architecture of its parentage is engineered to produce consistent, robust results. Its efficacy in the garden has led to its use in further breeding projects, most notably resulting in the offspring known as Cough Bx1.
The chemical profile of Consumption is defined by a complex, tiered arrangement of constituents led by dominant terpinolene, followed closely by myrcene, ocimene, caryophyllene, and beta-pinene. Moving through the olfactory and palate experience, a user will also detect traces of limonene, pinene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, and humulene, with subtle, lingering notes of eucalyptol and nerolidol. This specific assembly of terpenes creates a distinct sensory profile that serves as the foundation for the strain's pharmacological activity.
As a THC-dominant variety, Consumption is recognized for providing clear-headed, uplifted, and relaxed effects. These properties make it an appropriate selection for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, or those utilizing the strain as an aid for sleep. By balancing its uplifted, happy state with its broader therapeutic potential, Consumption maintains a status as a functional option for diverse users, cementing its position in modern genetic libraries through its direct contribution to the Cough Bx1 lineage.

PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
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.
