I.P.A.
I.P.A. is a modern hybrid strain born from the crossing of 7Up, Stank Breath, and Pure Michigan. Its origins are characterized by this specific lineage, though the broader historical circumstances behind its development remain undocumented. Cultivators will find that I.P.A. requires moderate experience to manage successfully, thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. The plant reaches maturity following a 60-day flowering period and is known for producing a high yield.
The terpene profile of I.P.A. is confirmed to be notably complex, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by limonene, myrcene, and humulene. The secondary and tertiary composition includes isopulegol, linalool, beta-pinene, bisabolol, nerolidol, pinene, ocimene, camphene, terpinolene, geraniol, caryophyllene-oxide, eucalyptol, and guaiol. This chemical makeup defines the strain’s sensory experience, resulting in a distinct aromatic profile derived from this verified hierarchy of compounds.
As a THC-dominant variety, I.P.A. is commonly utilized to produce effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a frequent choice for those seeking support with stress, pain, or difficulties regarding sleep. Despite its reputation as a versatile modern hybrid, I.P.A. has no recorded offspring currently documented in official strain registries.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| limonene | ~28% | citrus | social · creative |
| myrcene | ~12% | earthy | relaxing · solo |

●●○○
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.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.
