Medellin
Medellin is a modern hybrid strain derived from Chemdog genetics. Developed for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this variety requires moderate growing expertise and typically reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering cycle. It is characterized by high yields, serving as a robust foundation for an extensive lineage of offspring that includes Bogota, Crispy Sugar, Glazed Apricot Gelato X Medellin, Lemongrass, Medellin X Apples & Bananas, Medellin x Mean Mug F2, Miami Yayo, Miklo, Peach Tea, The Wolf, Tiger Paw, and Velvet Cream.
The sensory profile of Medellin is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, led by caryophyllene and supported by limonene, myrcene, and humulene. The secondary and tertiary chemical composition continues with linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, and pinene, followed by trace amounts of nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, borneol, camphene, geraniol, terpinolene, and ocimene. This tiered terpene expression dictates a specific aromatic and flavor complexity that remains consistent across the plant's development.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Medellin is primarily utilized for its ability to induce states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These therapeutic attributes make the strain a suitable candidate for users seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking to manage sleep-related difficulties. With its established genetic footprint and versatile effect profile, Medellin maintains a significant presence within modern cannabis breeding programs.

●●○○
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.
