Gorilla Glue
Gorilla Glue is a modern hybrid-sativa with an undocumented lineage. Widely considered a staple of the contemporary cannabis market, this strain is recognized by its moderate cultivation difficulty and its ability to thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 66-day flowering period.
The chemical composition of Gorilla Glue is anchored by a complex terpene profile led by caryophyllene, followed by nerolidol, limonene, and myrcene, with trace contributions from humulene, eucalyptol, linalool, beta-pinene, guaiol, isopulegol, bisabolol, pinene, camphene, gamma-terpinene, p-cymene, geraniol, alpha-terpinene, ocimene, borneol, terpinolene, caryophyllene-oxide, and valencene. This dense aromatic matrix informs the sensory experience of the strain, pairing the spicy bite of the primary caryophyllene with the floral and citrus-leaning nuances of the secondary and tertiary compounds.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Gorilla Glue induces effects categorized as creative, uplifted, and euphoric. These characteristics make it a functional choice for social engagement, focused tasks, or stimulating creative projects. The genetic influence of the strain is significant throughout current breeding programs, serving as a foundational parent for several notable offspring, including Gorilla Glue X Bubblegum, Gorilla Zkittlez, Guerrilla Glue S1, and the Tutankhamon x Gorilla Glue cross.

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: sedative properties; enhances transdermal pharmaceutical penetration; antimalarial; PMC11060501: GABAergic-mediated antinociception.
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gorilla Glue indica or sativa?
Gorilla Glue is modeled here as a sativa-dominant (primarily sativa with indica grounding).
What terpene is dominant in Gorilla Glue?
Caryophyllene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Nerolidol follows as the secondary terpene.
Is Gorilla Glue good for daytime use?
Gorilla Glue is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
