Meigs County Gold
Meigs County Gold is a modern hybrid strain with a complex genetic background. Its lineage originates from a cross between an unknown strain, Salmon Creek Gold, and Salmon Creek Big Bud. According to lore, this strain is associated with the historic cultivation efforts of its namesake region, and it has since become a recognized parent in its own right, being the notable progenitor of Salmon Creek Gold.
The terpene profile of Meigs County Gold is vast, led by the spicy, woody notes of caryophyllene, followed by the earthy qualities of myrcene and the bright citrus influence of limonene. The full aromatic spectrum continues with pinene, humulene, and ocimene, providing a layered sensory foundation, while trace amounts of nerolidol, linalool, beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide contribute to the overall complexity. This chemical nuance results in a distinct profile that balances herbal and sharp notes through its diverse, multi-tiered terpene arrangement.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Meigs County Gold is primarily used for its capacity to induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. These effects make the strain a functional option for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, the plant exhibits a moderate growth difficulty and requires approximately 63 days to complete its flowering phase, ultimately rewarding cultivators with a high yield.

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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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
