Drunken Bastard effects are mostly energizing.
Drunken Bastard is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Sangria and Subterfuge No.1. Primarily cultivated for its significant production capabilities, this moderate-difficulty variety thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which requires an 80-day flowering period to reach full maturity. Its genetic footprint is evidenced by notable offspring including ABCHK and Fast Crazy Bastard.
The chemical profile of this strain is defined by a complex range of fifteen terpenes, led by limonene, myrcene, and linalool. These are supported by secondary notes of caryophyllene, bisabolol, guaiol, humulene, beta-pinene, and pinene, with trace amounts of nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, borneol, terpinolene, camphene, and ocimene. This diverse composition informs the specific sensory profile experienced by the user, characterized by the interplay between these dominant citrus, herbaceous, and floral aromatic compounds.
As a THC-dominant variety, Drunken Bastard is utilized primarily for its capacity to induce relaxed, happy, and uplifted states. These effects make it a functional choice for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those managing difficulties with sleep. By serving as a foundational parent for subsequent crosses like ABCHK and Fast Crazy Bastard, the strain has established a clear genetic legacy within modern hybridization programs.

| linalool | ~12% | floral | relaxing · solo |
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.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
