International Space Station
International Space Station is a modern hybrid strain derived from a complex lineage of Star Killer, JoTaKe, Haze, and Tampa Crippie. As a result of this diverse genetic background, the origins of the strain remain undocumented, with no specific breeder or developmental timeline officially recorded. The plant reaches maturity following a 70-day flowering period and is categorized as moderately difficult to cultivate, yet it is capable of producing a high yield in both indoor and outdoor growing environments.
The terpene profile for International Space Station is confirmed to follow a specific hierarchy, with caryophyllene acting as the dominant terpene, followed by limonene, myrcene, terpinolene, linalool, humulene, pinene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, and ocimene. This chemical composition informs the sensory experience of the strain, contributing to a nuanced aroma and flavor profile that reflects this broad array of constituents.
This THC-dominant hybrid is known to produce effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Consumers often utilize this strain to address concerns regarding stress, physical pain, and sleep difficulties. Despite its distinctive genetic makeup and reported utility, there are no recorded offspring attributed to International Space Station at this time.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.

●●○○
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.
