Light Speed is a modern hybrid whose precise history remains undocumented. While the strain is recognized as a descendant of Moonbow, its broader lineage and the identity of its original breeder have not been publicly confirmed. Because records concerning its development are thin, the genetic path leading to this variety remains an unresolved aspect of its background, and no formal documentation exists to clarify its regional origins or the timing of its emergence.
The chemical landscape of Light Speed is defined by a distinct terpene hierarchy, beginning with caryophyllene, followed by linalool, humulene, limonene, myrcene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, and pinene. While these constituents provide the strain’s aromatic identity, the exact cannabinoid potency is based on an estimated 19.4% THC content, alongside an estimated 0% CBD and 0% CBG. Its sensory profile reflects this complex combination, which facilitates a consistent aromatic experience for the user.
Light Speed provides effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making it a viable selection for those seeking relief from stress, pain, or sleep difficulties. The strain is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, maintaining a moderate difficulty level and a flowering period of 65 days. With a high yield potential, it serves as a productive component of modern garden rotations, though it currently has no recorded offspring in established genetic lines.

●●○○
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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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
