Idol
Idol is a modern hybrid strain derived from the crossing of Runtz and Randylosa. Its specific breeding history remains undocumented, and there is no verified information regarding its creator or the precise circumstances of its development. As a contemporary hybrid, it is suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, where it demonstrates a moderate level of difficulty and is capable of producing a high yield within a 63-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of Idol is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, with caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene serving as the dominant compounds, followed by humulene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, and pinene. Users can expect an experience shaped by this specific chemical composition, which delivers a THC-dominant profile. The combination of these terpenes contributes to the strain's overall aromatic and flavor profile, reflecting the influence of its hybrid parentage.
In terms of effects, Idol is known to produce a state of relaxation while simultaneously fostering feelings of happiness and an uplifted mood. These characteristics make it a functional option for addressing stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. Currently, there are no recorded instances of notable offspring attributed to this strain, marking it as a distinct entry in the modern hybrid lineage.

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