Moonshine Daze is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar bred from the crossing of Green Crack and Bubblegum. Developed for cultivators seeking high-yield production, the plant requires a flowering period of approximately 80 days to reach maturity. It is considered a plant of moderate growing difficulty that performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The chemical profile of Moonshine Daze is defined by a dominant expression of terpinolene, which is accompanied by secondary notes of myrcene and tertiary traces of caryophyllene. This specific terpene composition directs the sensory experience, grounding the sharp, energetic profile typically associated with its resinous structure. Patients and consumers often characterize the flavor and aroma as a reflection of this precise terpene hierarchy, balancing the primary volatile compounds for a distinct botanical expression.
With a THC-dominant profile measured at approximately 23.8 percent, Moonshine Daze produces effects that are primarily creative, uplifted, and happy. The strain possesses negligible levels of CBD and trace amounts of CBG, making it a functional choice for activities requiring focus or social engagement. While no notable offspring have been recorded, this hybrid remains a consistent option for those utilizing the cannabis plant for sustained, daytime creativity.

●●○○
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.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
