Superstitious
Top flavors
Superstitious effects are mostly calming.
Superstitious is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Snow Lotus. As a cultivar requiring moderate cultivation skill, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, rewarding the grower with a high yield after a 63-day flowering cycle. Its genetic lineage has led to the development of notable offspring, including the variety known as Super Purple.
The chemical profile of Superstitious is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, beginning with a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by pinene, nerolidol, beta-pinene, and limonene. The secondary and tertiary notes include caryophyllene, linalool, humulene, caryophyllene-oxide, camphene, ocimene, bisabolol, and a final trace of eucalyptol. This diverse aromatic profile contributes to the specific sensory experience of the strain, reflecting the breadth of its terpene composition.
As a THC-dominant variety, Superstitious is reported to produce effects characterized by a sense of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. These properties make the strain a functional choice for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for better sleep. Through its genetic contributions to lines like Super Purple, Superstitious continues to influence modern hybrid breeding programs.

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.

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
