Kiss Of Death is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Pestilence and Mamba. This cultivar is characterized as a product suited for cultivators of moderate experience, performing reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a flowering period of approximately 67 days.
The terpene profile of Kiss Of Death is led by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, myrcene, and humulene. The secondary and tertiary tiers consist of beta-pinene, bisabolol, pinene, and linalool. This complex chemical architecture determines the sensory experience, grounding the aromatic experience in the spicy, peppery influence of the primary caryophyllene while balancing the citrus notes of limonene and the herbal musk of myrcene. The presence of humulene, bisabolol, and pinene adds further nuanced complexity to the overall flavor and fragrance profile.
Medicinally, Kiss Of Death is a THC-dominant strain testing at approximately 22% THC with negligible levels of CBD. Users typically report states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood, making the strain a consistent choice for the management of stress, physical pain, and sleep difficulties. Despite its distinct profile, there are currently no recorded notable offspring for this variety within established breeding records.

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
