Easy Ryder
Easy Ryder is a modern auto-flowering cannabis variety derived from Lowryder #2. As an auto-flowering cultivar, it is recognized for its accessibility, with a cultivation difficulty rated as easy. While it can be grown in both indoor and outdoor environments, growers should anticipate a low yield across a 73-day flowering cycle. Its genetic lineage has also contributed to the development of notable offspring, including Easy Ryder Auto and Lowryder Seed F1.
The chemical profile of Easy Ryder is defined by a terpene composition led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. This specific combination influences the sensory experience of the strain, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor profile maintained by the dominance of myrcene.
As a THC-dominant variety, the effects of Easy Ryder are characterized by a sense of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a common choice for managing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Its legacy remains tied to its impact on subsequent auto-flowering genetics, establishing its place within modern breeding programs that prioritize abbreviated life cycles and user-friendly growth traits.

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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
