Greased Monkey
Greased Monkey is a modern, hybrid-sativa cultivar resulting from the crossing of Banana Kush, Ghost OG, Skunk, and Haze. The specific origins of the strain remain undocumented in public records, and the precise history of its initial professional development is currently unknown. This strain is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments, where it reaches maturity after a flowering period of 66 days, typically providing a high yield for growers of moderate experience.
The biochemical profile of Greased Monkey features a confirmed terpene hierarchy led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, humulene, terpinolene, linalool, pinene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, and guaiol. This complex array of terpenes characterizes the sensory experience, providing a multifaceted aromatic and flavor profile established by this specific chemical distribution. As a THC-dominant cultivar, the potency of the strain is consistent with modern hybridization standards.
Users of Greased Monkey report primary effects of creativity, an uplifted mood, and a sense of happiness. Due to these specific psychoactive properties, the strain is frequently selected for activities requiring creativity, social engagement, and focus. While the lineage of the plant is complex, there are currently no recorded notable offspring attributable to Greased Monkey within the wider genetic pool.

spicy
●●○○
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.
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.
