Shoog emerges as a modern hybrid-sativa lineage originating from Deep Breath. This cultivar is categorized as a high-yielding variety that reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering period. Suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, it is classified as a project of moderate difficulty for growers. Its influence persists in the modern cannabis market through its direct genetic contribution to its notable offspring, ShoogBerry.
The sensory profile of Shoog is defined by a complex chemical composition anchored by a dominance of myrcene, followed by limonene, nerolidol, and beta-pinene. This sequence continues with pinene, linalool, caryophyllene, caryophyllene-oxide, and geraniol. The remaining trace terpene profile includes guaiol, bisabolol, p-cymene, isopulegol, camphene, humulene, ocimene, terpinolene, and gamma-terpinene, creating a nuanced aromatic breadth.
As a THC-dominant strain, Shoog is characterized by effects that are primarily creative, uplifted, and euphoric. These physiological results make the cultivar particularly well-suited for activities requiring sustained focus, creative output, or social engagement. By consistently facilitating an uplifted mental state, Shoog serves as a functional tool for users seeking to enhance cognitive and interpersonal productivity.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: sedative properties; enhances transdermal pharmaceutical penetration; antimalarial; PMC11060501: GABAergic-mediated antinociception.
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.
