Gunburst
Gunburst is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Ryan's Revenge. Developed for cultivators seeking a productive plant, this strain offers an accessible entry point for those with moderate experience. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, capable of reaching a high yield within a concise sixty-day flowering period.
The chemical profile of Gunburst is defined by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. These terpenes determine the aromatic and flavor characteristics of the flowers, providing a distinct sensory profile consistent with its established chemistry.
Consumers report that Gunburst produces effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a functional choice for managing stress, alleviating pain, and supporting sleep. The genetic legacy of the plant is evidenced by a range of notable offspring, including Fat Wreck, Glue Gun, and Orange Streusel.

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.
