Pie Faced
Pie Faced is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Blue OX. Cultivators can expect a moderate level of difficulty when growing this plant, which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The strain is capable of producing a high yield within a flowering period of approximately 56 days. Throughout its life cycle, it serves as a foundational component for further breeding, having produced notable offspring such as Blueberry Hacienda.
The chemical character of Pie Faced is defined by a diverse terpene profile that begins with primary concentrations of caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, pinene, and nerolidol. These are further complemented by a secondary and tertiary array consisting of limonene, linalool, humulene, bisabolol, ocimene, beta-pinene, guaiol, camphene, geraniol, caryophyllene-oxide, and terpinolene. This specific arrangement of compounds dictates the strain’s distinct sensory profile, anchoring its nuanced aromatic and flavor presence in the specific order of its dominant chemical constituents.
As a THC-dominant variety, Pie Faced is recognized for inducing feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. These effects make it a consistent choice for individuals seeking to manage symptoms of stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep. Beyond its immediate therapeutic applications, the strain maintains a significant genetic legacy within the modern breeding landscape, evidenced by its established progeny.

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: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
