Irene OG
Irene OG is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage. According to lore, this cultivar occupies a significant place in contemporary breeding circles due to its consistent performance and high-yielding nature. It is typically grown with moderate difficulty in both indoor and outdoor environments, completing its flowering cycle in 63 days.
The terpene profile of Irene OG is led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. These compounds combine to create a distinct sensory experience that reflects the strain's specific chemical composition. The presence of these terpenes informs the characteristic aroma and flavor profile that defines the plant throughout its development and consumption.
Users of this THC-dominant strain report experiencing feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These effects make it a common choice for those seeking relief from stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. The genetic legacy of the strain is further evidenced by its role in producing notable offspring, including Irene Kush S1, the cross of Irene OG and Dirty Sanchez, and Irene's Ghost.

spicy
●●○○
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.
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.
