Garlic Cocktail is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the Mimosa lineage. Developed for versatility, the plant reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period. It is categorized as a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, where it is known to produce a high yield.
The chemical profile of Garlic Cocktail is driven by a complex terpene arrangement, led by limonene, followed by caryophyllene, linalool, myrcene, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, and bisabolol. This specific combination influences the strain’s distinct sensory profile, presenting a nuanced aromatic and flavor experience consistent with its terpene hierarchy. As a THC-dominant variety, it tests at approximately 24% THC and 0.08% CBD, positioning it as a potent option for the modern consumer.
Users of Garlic Cocktail frequently report feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These observed effects make the strain a suitable choice for addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep. There is currently no recorded information regarding notable offspring descending from this particular genetic line.

●●○○
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.
