Liver Kick
Liver Kick is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Platinum Mint Punch, Platinum Kush Breath Remix, and Strawberries and Cream. Developed as a high-yielding cultivar for both indoor and outdoor environments, it requires moderate grower skill and completes its flowering cycle in approximately 63 days. The lineage reflects a deliberate breeding strategy that emphasizes specific growth traits and production volume over a concise genetic background.
The chemical profile of Liver Kick is characterized by an extensive terpene sequence led by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. This foundation is further nuanced by layers of linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, and bisabolol, followed by trace expressions of pinene, nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, guaiol, camphene, terpinolene, ocimene, and p-cymene. This complex arrangement of aromatics informs the overall sensory experience, dictated by its THC-dominant cannabinoid expression.
Users of Liver Kick report effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making the strain suitable for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. The genetic impact of the variety is evidenced by a robust list of notable offspring, including Arm Bar, Flying Knee, Purple Belt, Snow Ball Fight, Sophie’s Kick, Spinning Heel Kick, and Starlet. Through these progeny, the strain continues to exert a measurable influence on contemporary hybrid development.

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