Dess*tar
Desstar is a modern hybrid strain derived from Kali Mist. It maintains a moderate difficulty rating for cultivation, successfully flowering in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering cycle.
The terpene profile of Desstar is characterized by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as the tertiary component. This specific chemical composition defines the sensory experience of the strain. It is a THC-dominant variety, with these aromatic compounds working in tandem to inform its profile.
Consumers generally report that Desstar produces relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These qualities make the strain a suitable candidate for managing stress and pain, while also serving as a potential aid for sleep. The genetic legacy of this hybrid is further evidenced by its status as the parent of Huckleberry DesTar.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

●●○○
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.
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.
