Double Cup is a modern hybrid strain with an origin that remains undocumented and largely shrouded in mystery. Although the lineage is reportedly derived from Texas Tea, specific breeding details have not been publicly confirmed, and no official breeder history exists to clarify its development. Due to these thin records, the strain lacks a verifiable pedigree, positioning it as an enigmatic specimen in the current market.
The sensory profile of Double Cup is defined by a complex chemical composition, with a verified terpene cascade led by limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool, followed by bisabolol, pinene, humulene, myrcene, and caryophyllene-oxide. Users can expect an estimated THC potency of approximately 22.4%, which anchors its heavy cannabinoid profile. This chemical combination produces a distinct aromatic and flavorful experience, grounded in the documented sequence of these specific compounds.
Double Cup is characterized by effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making it a functional choice for those managing stress, pain, or sleep difficulties. It is a productive plant for cultivators, capable of a high yield within a flowering period of 61 days. Despite its moderate cultivation difficulty, it performs effectively in both indoor and outdoor environments. At this time, there are no recorded or notable offspring attributed to the strain.

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.

spicy
●●○○
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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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.
