Crisco is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Animal Cookies and Mainline OG. This genetic combination reflects a focused breeding effort to bring together the distinct characteristics of two established lines. The plant is considered of moderate difficulty to grow and reaches maturity after 63 days of flowering. It performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, known for producing a high yield for cultivators who maintain consistent conditions.
The chemical profile of Crisco is defined by a terpene sequence led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. These compounds work in concert to establish the cultivar's specific sensory profile. With a primary concentration of myrcene, the strain presents an aromatic and flavor-based foundation often associated with this dominant terpene, further nuanced by the presence of caryophyllene and the citrus-noting contributions of limonene.
As a THC-dominant variety, Crisco tests at approximately 10.1 percent THC, with negligible amounts of CBD and a minor 0.29 percent concentration of CBG. Users report that the consumption of this strain results in effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep. At present, there are no notable offspring recorded for this lineage.

●●○○
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Crisco indica or sativa?
Crisco is modeled here as a balanced hybrid (equal indica and sativa genetics).
What terpene is dominant in Crisco?
Limonene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Crisco good for daytime use?
Crisco is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
