Gorilla Punch is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parentage of Original Glue. This variety has been developed for performance in both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, where it demonstrates a moderate difficulty level and is capable of producing high yields. The flowering cycle for the plant completes in approximately 65 days.
The chemical composition of Gorilla Punch is defined by a complex terpene profile led by nerolidol, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. The remaining aromatic structure includes humulene, myrcene, linalool, beta-pinene, pinene, camphene, bisabolol, and terpinolene, which collectively contribute to the strain's overall profile. As a THC-dominant variety, these terpenes interact with the cannabinoids to shape the user experience.
Gorilla Punch serves users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as assistance with sleep, through reported effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. The genetic lineage of this strain continues to influence modern breeding, evidenced by its notable offspring, which include Purple Gorilla Cookies and Space Monkey's Dream.

●●○○
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.
◉

uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
