Sticky Rice
Sticky Rice is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Permanent Marker. As a cultivar bred for contemporary production, it is suitable for growth in both indoor and outdoor environments, requiring a moderate level of expertise from cultivators. The strain demonstrates high yield potential and reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering cycle. Its genetic influence on subsequent generations is established through its notable offspring, Akira.
The terpene profile of Sticky Rice is characterized by a complex hierarchy starting with dominant limonene, followed by caryophyllene, linalool, pinene, beta-pinene, and humulene. The aromatic and flavor profile is further rounded out by nuanced concentrations of bisabolol, ocimene, nerolidol, and myrcene, with trace contributions from caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, valencene, borneol, terpinolene, geraniol, isopulegol, and sabinene. This diverse chemical composition dictates the sensory experience, grounding the high-THC dominant cannabinoid profile in a precise, layered terpene structure.
In terms of psychological and physiological engagement, Sticky Rice is noted for producing feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state. These effects make the strain a preferred choice for individuals seeking support with stress, pain, or the facilitation of sleep. By combining these specific medical use cases with stable growth characteristics and a documented lineage that extends into the notable progeny of Akira, Sticky Rice serves as a distinct entry in modern hybrid horticulture.

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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
~28%
spicy
●●○○
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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
