Interstellar
Interstellar is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the cross of Alien Rock Candy and Bubble Tea. While the specific breeder history of the strain remains undocumented, its development combines these two distinct parent lineages into a THC-dominant variety suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Growers can expect a moderate level of difficulty, with the plants reaching maturity after a flowering period of 68 days and producing a high yield.
The terpene profile of Interstellar is characterized by a complex chemical composition, led by caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene, followed by humulene, linalool, beta-pinene, bisabolol, pinene, and terpinolene. This combination results in a multifaceted sensory experience, as the interplay between these compounds contributes to the strain's overall aromatic and flavor profile.
Users of Interstellar typically report feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects position the strain as a practical option for addressing stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. Currently, there are no recorded notable offspring descended from this hybrid, leaving it to stand as a singular modern variety within its genetic lineage.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| caryophyllene | ~60% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| myrcene | ~28% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| limonene | ~12% | citrus | social · creative |

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.
happy
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
