Sourpie
Sourpie is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Sour Power OG. As a result of this lineage, the plant requires a moderate level of expertise from cultivators, though it rewards that effort with a high yield. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, the strain reaches maturity after a flowering period of 58 days.
The terpene profile of Sourpie is led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. These compounds combine to define the strain’s sensory experience, with the dominant myrcene influence shaping the aromatic profile and the presence of caryophyllene and limonene providing nuanced depth to its flavor.
The consumption of this THC-dominant cultivar results in effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. Given these reported outcomes, practitioners often select the strain for the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. The genetic legacy of Sourpie is evidenced by its role as parent stock to Mendo Purple Pie.

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.
