Sorcerer effects are mostly calming.
Sorcerer is a modern hybrid-indica strain with an undocumented lineage, as its ancestral genetic background remains unknown. It is a cultivar of moderate growing difficulty that performs well in both indoor and outdoor settings. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, provided the plants are maintained through a seventy-day flowering cycle.
The terpene profile of Sorcerer is complex, led by a dominant presence of caryophyllene followed by myrcene and limonene. Secondary and tertiary aromatic compounds include pinene, humulene, ocimene, nerolidol, and linalool, with trace contributions from beta-pinene, guaiol, p-cymene, bisabolol, eucalyptol, camphene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse chemical composition dictates the sensory experience, offering a nuanced aromatic profile that balances these varied botanical constituents.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Sorcerer is sought after for its characteristic effects, which leave users feeling relaxed, calm, and focused. These properties make it a frequent choice for those looking to manage pain, stress, or difficulties with sleep. Beyond its primary application, the strain has established a noteworthy genetic legacy as a parent variety to cultivars including Evil Step Mother, NOS, Psychonaut, Shaman, and Voodoo Rodeo.
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| myrcene | ~60% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
| caryophyllene | ~28% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| pinene | ~12% | pine | focus · creative |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

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.
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
Primary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
Linalool GABA-A modulation + caryophyllene CB2 agonism drive anxiolysis without heavy sedation; distinct from sleepy — supports sustained presence and mild focus.
Pinene acetylcholinesterase inhibition (IC50 0.44 mM per Russo 2011) sustains acetylcholine; counteracts THC-induced short-term memory deficits.
Primarily indica with sativa influence. Relaxing body with some cerebral lift.
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

Seeds availableSorcerer is modeled here as a indica-dominant (primarily indica with sativa influence).
Myrcene is shown as the dominant terpene at approximately ~60%. Caryophyllene follows as the secondary terpene.
Sorcerer is versatile and works across different times of day depending on dose and individual response.
