New School Fusion
New School Fusion is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from its parent, Putrid Michigan. Characterized by its moderate cultivation difficulty, this variety performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this genetic line, which reaches maturity after a 53-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of New School Fusion is defined by a complex terpene arrangement, led by dominant myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene. Subsequent chemical nuances include ocimene, humulene, linalool, limonene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, nerolidol, and camphene, with terpinolene rounding out the profile. This terpene array creates a distinct aromatic expression that reflects the interaction of these specific compounds.
As a THC-dominant variety, New School Fusion is primarily utilized for its ability to induce feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state. These effects make it a common selection for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for sleep. The genetic legacy of this strain is evidenced by its notable offspring, which include Cauldron Bubble and Cherry Squirt.

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.
