Medellin Cherry
Medellin Cherry is a modern hybrid cannabis variety developed through the crossing of Cherry Pie, Cherry West Bx, and Black Lime. Designed for cultivators seeking a high-yielding plant, this strain requires a moderate level of botanical expertise to manage throughout its seventy-two-day flowering cycle. It is versatile enough to be cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments, manifesting a consistent growth architecture that results in significant production volumes.
The chemical profile of Medellin Cherry is anchored by a complex terpene arrangement, led by myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene. These primary constituents are layered with humulene, limonene, ocimene, and linalool, while the secondary profile concludes with beta-pinene, bisabolol, nerolidol, terpinolene, caryophyllene-oxide, and camphene. This extensive terpene diversity creates a nuanced sensory experience, characterized by a multifaceted aroma and flavor profile that reflects the integration of its genetic components.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Medellin Cherry is noted for inducing states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These primary effects make it a functional choice for users seeking relief from symptoms of stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep. The genetic influence of the strain continues to impact contemporary breeding cycles, as evidenced by its status as a parent to the notable offspring All Gassed Up.

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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
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.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
