Dog Trap effects are mostly calming.
Dog Trap is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of the parent Locktite. As a cultivar stabilized for indoor and outdoor environments, it maintains a moderate cultivation difficulty and requires a standard sixty-day flowering period to achieve its characteristic high yields. This lineage has proved influential in subsequent breeding projects, as it is the direct parent of Grease Trap #2.
The complex organoleptic profile of Dog Trap is defined by a deep chemical hierarchy, led by dominant myrcene and rounded out by substantial concentrations of pinene, nerolidol, and beta-pinene. Further nuance is provided by limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool, with secondary contributions from humulene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, ocimene, bisabolol, and eucalyptol. This diverse combination of terpenes informs the strain's overall aromatic and flavor signature.
Characterized as a THC-dominant variety, Dog Trap consistently delivers effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a frequent choice for users seeking support for stress, pain management, and sleep support. Due to its stable growth traits and effective cannabinoid profile, the strain remains a consistent presence in modern hybridization, notably serving as the genetic foundation for the production of Grease Trap #2.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Russo 2011: sedative properties; enhances transdermal pharmaceutical penetration; antimalarial; PMC11060501: GABAergic-mediated antinociception.
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.
