Doorstep effects are mostly calming.
Doorstep is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of African Sativa and Afghani genetics. This cultivar is categorized as a moderate-difficulty plant that performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering cycle. Its genetic lineage acts as the foundation for the notable offspring strains Rick Sanchez and Sunday Show.
The terpene profile of Doorstep is complex and strictly ordered by dominance, led by myrcene, pinene, and ocimene. These are followed by limonene, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, and linalool. The secondary chemical nuances are rounded out by traces of humulene, guaiol, bisabolol, nerolidol, and camphene. This specific combination of volatile compounds defines the sensory experience of the strain, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor profile attributed to this precise chemical arrangement.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Doorstep produces effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These physiological and psychological outcomes make the strain particularly suitable for users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for assistance with sleep. Through its documented progeny and consistent chemical output, the strain maintains a functional role in modern cannabis cultivation.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| pinene | ~28% | pine | focus · creative |
| ocimene | ~12% | sweet | energetic · social |
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: 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.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
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
