Hindu Gorilla is a modern hybrid cannabis strain produced by crossing Original Glue and Polar Bear. The exact origin and history of this specific cross remain undocumented, as there is no provided record regarding who performed the breeding or the specific intent behind the pairing of these two primary parent strains.
The terpene profile of Hindu Gorilla is confirmed to be composed of caryophyllene, terpinolene, and limonene as the leading compounds, followed by myrcene, humulene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, ocimene, linalool, caryophyllene-oxide, and pinene. Users can expect a complex aromatic expression defined by this broad range of terpenes. Because the plant's sensory output is determined by this specific hierarchy, the flavor and scent profile is directly influenced by the punch of caryophyllene, the floral notes of terpinolene, and the citrus undertones of limonene.
Hindu Gorilla is a THC-dominant hybrid that induces effects characterized primarily as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These traits make the strain a common selection for managing stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. Cultivators can expect a moderate difficulty level when growing the plant in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a flowering time of 60 days and a high yield potential. There are currently no recorded offspring strains descended from this variety.

●●○○
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.

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.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
