Ghola
Ghola is a modern hybrid strain derived from a genetic lineage of Chem D and Chemdog. With a flowering time of 66 days, it is classified as a cultivar of moderate growing difficulty that performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. This combination of genetics produces a high yield, and the plant serves as the progenitor for the notable offspring known as Chem's Corpse.
The chemical profile of Ghola is defined by a complex terpene hierarchy, led primarily by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, myrcene, and humulene. The aromatic and flavor nuances are further shaped by the presence of nerolidol, beta-pinene, bisabolol, pinene, linalool, camphene, p-cymene, and a subtle trace of terpinolene. This specific arrangement of terpenes characterizes the sensory experience, offering a distinct profile that balances these minor compounds behind a prominent caryophyllene base.
As a THC-dominant variety, Ghola consistently produces effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Because of this physiological impact, the strain is frequently sought out by users to assist with managing stress, alleviating pain, and promoting sleep. Its reputation as a high-yielding, modern hybrid ensures it remains a significant entry in contemporary breeding programs.

●●○○
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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
