Double Scorpion is a modern sativa cultivar stemming from a lineage defined by its parent, Lagkitan. As a distinct project in contemporary breeding, the strain maintains a specific genetic profile that focuses on the attributes established by its predecessor. The development of Double Scorpion relies on the characteristics inherent to its lone parentage, ensuring a focused lineage that avoids the complexities of undocumented crossbreeding.
The chemical complexity of Double Scorpion is anchored by a terpene profile led by myrcene, followed by pinene, caryophyllene, and nerolidol. These are supported by secondary and tertiary concentrations of beta-pinene, humulene, ocimene, limonene, linalool, and bisabolol. This arrangement of compounds dictates the strain’s specific sensory experience, resulting in a multifaceted aroma and flavor profile that reflects this precise chemical stratification.
The effects of this THC-dominant strain are characterized by a pronounced sense of creativity, energy, and an uplifted mental state. These outcomes make Double Scorpion a practical choice for social settings, creative endeavors, and tasks requiring sustained focus. Requiring 91 days of flowering, the plant is rated at a moderate level of difficulty for outdoor cultivation and provides a medium yield. Its genetic legacy is currently marked by its own notable offspring, which shares its parentage with Lagkitan.

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.
~12%
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.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
energetic
morningAssociated with ocimene/terpinolene profiles; stimulating without sedation; largely emergent from absence of sedating compounds rather than a direct mechanism.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Pure Sativa
Cerebral, energizing genetics. Tall plants, narrow leaves, longer flowering.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
