Gorilla New York is a modern hybrid-sativa identified by its parentage of Original Glue and Polar Bear. The history and specific breeding origin of this strain remain undocumented, leaving the exact timeline of its development and the specific individuals involved in its creation unknown. As a modern hybrid, it is cultivated both indoors and outdoors, typically requiring a 67-day flowering period to reach its full maturity and provide a high yield. Its growth process is considered to be of moderate difficulty, making it accessible to those with baseline cultivation experience.
The terpene profile of Gorilla New York is dominated by caryophyllene, followed by terpinolene, limonene, myrcene, humulene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, ocimene, linalool, caryophyllene-oxide, and finally pinene. This complex chemical architecture influences the strain's overall sensory experience. Users often note that the terpene profile produces a distinct aromatic presence defined by these compounds, though individual perception of these scents and flavors can vary depending on the specific harvest and curing conditions.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Gorilla New York is predominantly utilized for the creative, uplifted, and happy effects it provides. These traits make it a frequent choice for those seeking to enhance creativity, improve focus, or engage in social settings. Currently, there are no recorded notable offspring from this lineage, as the strain maintains a unique place in the market based on its specific parental combination of Original Glue and Polar Bear.

●○○○
PMC11060501: antinociception via NO/PGE2/TNF-α inhibition; associated with cerebral sativa profiles; least clinically characterised of major terpenes.
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.
