Five Alive
Five Alive is a modern hybrid-sativa strain developed through the crossbreeding of OJ and Grape Pie. Little is definitively documented regarding the specific history or historical origins of the variety, as its lineage remains a straightforward result of these two parent strains without further recorded breeding context or a verified debut date. The plant is considered a moderate challenge for cultivators, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a flowering time of 63 days, it provides high yields to those who successfully manage its development.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Five Alive is defined by a complex chemical composition, characterized by a confirmed dominant presence of caryophyllene. This is balanced by secondary and tertiary notes of limonene, linalool, humulene, and myrcene. The profile further rounds out with complex hints of bisabolol, beta-pinene, and pinene. These terpenes work in concert to produce the strain's distinct sensory bouquet, which remains consistent across various batches due to its stable genetic history.
This THC-dominant strain is primarily sought for its ability to foster a creative, uplifted, and happy mental state. These characteristics make Five Alive particularly well-suited for social interactions, heightened focus, and artistic pursuits. While the strain has established itself as an effective tool for mood elevation and creative stimulation, there are currently no recorded notable offspring descending from this variety.

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.
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.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
