Iraqi Pilgrim
Iraqi Pilgrim is a modern hybrid strain resulting from a lineage featuring Indica, Sativa, Anu, and an undocumented strain. Developed to balance diverse genetic traits, this cultivar has established a significant footprint in contemporary breeding circles. Its genetic versatility is evidenced by a broad roster of notable offspring, including Anu, Blue Pilgrim, Iraqi Haze, Ishtar 2023, JoRaqi, Pilgrim OG, Renaqi, Sunshine Pilgrim, Sunshine Pilgrim 2023, and VIP. With a moderate cultivation difficulty, the plant thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, concluding a flowering cycle of 63 days while providing a high yield.
The chemical profile of Iraqi Pilgrim is complex, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by myrcene and limonene. This aromatic foundation is rounded out by a tertiary sequence of pinene, humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, linalool, beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse distribution of terpenes contributes to a unique sensory profile defined by the interaction of these distinct aromatic compounds.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Iraqi Pilgrim produces effects characterized as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic properties make it a targeted choice for individuals seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. Its reliable performance and consistent progeny continue to solidify its role in modern breeding programs, serving as a functional cornerstone for growers and patients alike.

●●○○
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.
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.
