Effects

Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.

◎

relaxed

evening

Primary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.

⊕

focused

morning

Pinene acetylcholinesterase inhibition (IC50 0.44 mM per Russo 2011) sustains acetylcholine; counteracts THC-induced short-term memory deficits.

Genetic Profile

Indica-dominant

■ Indica 70%■ Sativa 30%

Primarily indica with sativa influence. Relaxing body with some cerebral lift.

THC-Dominant

High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
