Syrian
Syrian is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Giggler and Flora De Risibile. Developed through careful selection, this strain occupies a distinct space in contemporary breeding programs. It is an adaptable cultivar suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period and is considered to be of moderate difficulty for those managing a grow operation.
The sensory profile of Syrian is defined by a specific hierarchy of terpenes, led by myrcene as the dominant compound, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as the secondary and tertiary contributors. This chemical composition dictates the aromatic and flavor experience of the flower, rooting its nuance in the earthy and peppery interactions inherent to these primary, secondary, and tertiary constituents.
Users of Syrian often report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted following consumption. Due to these effects, the strain is frequently selected as a tool for managing stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. As a THC-dominant variety, the strain has proven its functional value within current genetics markets, evidenced by its role as a parent for notable offspring including Giggler and Sodbuster.

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.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
