Mammoth
Mammoth is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from LA Confidential. Developed through careful selection to ensure high output, the strain requires a moderate level of grower expertise when cultivated indoors or outdoors. Under optimal conditions, plants reach maturity after a 70-day flowering period, consistently providing a high yield for dedicated cultivators. Its genetic influence is evident in its notable offspring, Smokey Bear.
The chemical profile of Mammoth is defined by a complex terpene architecture, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by nerolidol and limonene. Secondary and tertiary notes continue with linalool, humulene, and myrcene, rounded out by hints of caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, and bisabolol. This specific sequence of aromatic compounds creates a distinct sensory experience, blending earthy, spicy, and floral nuances that define the strain's olfactory profile.
Users typically report effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Given these characteristics, the strain is frequently selected as an option for addressing symptoms related to stress, pain, and sleep. As a THC-dominant hybrid, Mammoth serves as a foundational genetic contributor, influencing modern cultivars such as Smokey Bear through its specific combination of potency and therapeutic application.

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: sedative properties; enhances transdermal pharmaceutical penetration; antimalarial; PMC11060501: GABAergic-mediated antinociception.
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

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