Gorilla Haze is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its parent, Good Clean Fun. Developed through selective breeding, this high-yielding variety was designed to thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a moderate cultivation process with a flowering period lasting approximately 70 days. As a significant player in modern breeding, it has served as a progenitor for several notable cultivars, including Cheetah Piss and Lemonade OG.
The complex terpene profile of Gorilla Haze is anchored by a dominant concentration of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary constituents. The chemical composition continues with a diverse secondary layer consisting of linalool, nerolidol, bisabolol, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, ocimene, terpinolene, and camphene. This specific arrangement of volatile compounds dictates the strain’s distinct sensory profile, providing a chemical fingerprint that distinguishes it from other hybrid crosses.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Gorilla Haze is primarily utilized by those seeking to transition into a state characterized by relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. Its specific pharmacological profile makes it well-suited for addressing concerns related to stress, pain, and sleep quality. While the strain provides these tangible effects, its influence extends beyond the end user, as demonstrated by its established legacy in the lineage of prominent genetics like Cheetah Piss and Lemonade OG.

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.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
