Southern Comfort
Southern Comfort is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Tangerine Power. Developed for cultivators seeking a balance of yield and potency, this variety requires moderate growing expertise whether grown in indoor or outdoor environments. Crops typically reach maturity after a flowering period of 67 days, ultimately rewarding the grower with a high yield.
The chemical profile of Southern Comfort is complex, led by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. The secondary and tertiary tiers consist of beta-pinene, limonene, terpinolene, humulene, bisabolol, guaiol, and ocimene. This specific arrangement of terpenes defines the aromatic and flavor experience, grounding the profile in the earthier, pine-forward notes contributed by its primary compounds, while maintaining the nuanced contributions of its lesser represented terpenes.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Southern Comfort is primarily noted for inducing sensations of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These effects make the strain a functional choice for individuals managing stress, pain, or difficulties with sleep. The genetic legacy of this strain is well-established through its notable offspring, which include ATL Confidential, Courvoisier, and Keisha.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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.

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.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
