Death Wish is a modern hybrid strain developed through the crossbreeding of Sensi Star and OG Kush. Designed for cultivators seeking balance, the plant requires a moderate level of expertise to manage, flourishing in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of Death Wish is defined by a distinct terpene hierarchy, led by the earthy and grounding influence of myrcene. This primary profile is complexly layered with the sharp, spicy notes of caryophyllene, followed by the bright, citrus-forward finish provided by limonene. Together, these compounds shape the sensory experience of the strain, grounding the aroma in musk while providing a nuanced aromatic lift.
Boasting a THC-dominant profile that typically tests at approximately 25.3 percent, Death Wish consistently produces effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These attributes make the strain a functional option for consumers managing stress, physical pain, or difficulty with sleep. At present, there are no notable offspring recorded for this lineage.

| myrcene | ~12% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

●●○○
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.
