Nepal Gold
Nepal Gold is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage, as its precise parents remain unknown. As a contemporary cultivar, it is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments, presenting a moderate level of difficulty for growers. Those who successfully manage the setup can expect a high yield from the plant, which reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering cycle.
The terpene profile of Nepal Gold is anchored by a dominant concentration of myrcene, followed by secondary levels of caryophyllene and tertiary notes of limonene. This specific chemical composition defines the sensory profile of the strain, balancing earthy musk with the peppery and citrus undertones provided by its secondary and tertiary components.
Users of this THC-dominant strain report experiencing effects characterized primarily by relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make Nepal Gold a functional choice for those seeking to address stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. The genetic legacy of the strain is further evidenced by the development of its notable offspring, CBD Nepal Gold.
Terpene Profile

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

spicy
●●○○
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.
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.
