Moon Pie is a modern hybrid whose specific origins remain undocumented, as no breeder has publicly confirmed the details of its genetic history. While the available data identifies Larry OG Kush as a parent, the strain’s full lineage remains incomplete or otherwise unconfirmed, leaving its exact development path a mystery. As a result, cultivators should understand that the breed lacks a documented origin story or established breeder registry to verify its progression.
This strain features a complex terpene profile led by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, myrcene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, beta-pinene, terpinolene, pinene, caryophyllene-oxide, nerolidol, borneol, camphene, geraniol, ocimene, and valencene. With an estimated THC content of roughly 20.6% and negligible CBD, its chemical composition represents a standard modern hybrid profile. Growers can expect a moderate level of difficulty when cultivating this plant, which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments and offers a high yield within a 60-day flowering period.
Users typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted after consumption. These effects make Moon Pie a potential candidate for those seeking relief from stress, pain, or sleep-related issues. The strain serves as a standalone modern hybrid with no recorded offspring to date, representing a solitary entry in contemporary genetic catalogues.
Terpene Profile

●●○○
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.
