Sour LSD
Sour LSD is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Grape Punch. With a flowering time of 63 days, this strain is considered to be of moderate cultivation difficulty and is capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which has established its own genetic footprint by serving as the parent of the notable offspring known as Sister Wife.
The chemical profile of Sour LSD is defined by a terpene hierarchy led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. This specific arrangement suggests a complex olfactory and flavor experience, balancing the earthiness of myrcene with the spicy, woody undertones of caryophyllene and the bright, citrus-forward notes attributed to limonene.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Sour LSD is reported by consumers to provide effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for support with sleep.

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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
