Currency
Currency is a modern hybrid cannabis strain produced by crossing Runtz and Sourdough #1. The history and specific breeding origin of this variety remain undocumented, as no official background details clarify the development timeline or the original breeder intent. It is a THC-dominant cultivar that demonstrates sufficient stability for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a moderate level of difficulty when maintaining these plants, which reach maturity after a 65-day flowering period and are noted for producing a high yield.
The chemical composition of Currency is characterized by a specific hierarchy of terpenes, led by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. These primary constituents are further supported by linalool, humulene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, pinene, nerolidol, and ocimene. This terpene profile presents a complex aromatic and flavor experience, drawing from its hybrid lineage to offer a distinct sensory profile. Because the terpene interaction is complex, the strain’s specific fragrance and flavor nuances are currently tied to this confirmed order of chemical dominance.
Users of Currency typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted after consumption. These effects make the strain a functional choice for those managing stress, physical pain, or difficulty with sleep. While the cultivar is an established entry in the modern market, it has no recorded offspring, positioning it as a distinct node in its current lineage. Its balanced physiological impact and reliable production metrics serve as the primary identifiers for this hybrid variety.

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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
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.
