Temple of the Dog is a modern hybrid strain whose exact origins remain undocumented. While Snoop Dawg is identified as a parent, the full genetic lineage is currently incomplete, and breeders have provided no public confirmation regarding the specific cross or the history of the strain’s development. Because documentation remains thin and no official breeder description exists, the precise heritage of this variety remains a subject of mystery within the cultivation community.
The terpene profile, which has been confirmed through direct analysis, is led by myrcene, caryophyllene, and ocimene, followed by pinene, nerolidol, limonene, humulene, linalool, beta-pinene, bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, eucalyptol, p-cymene, caryophyllene-oxide, and terpinolene. This complex chemical composition provides a distinct aromatic experience, though because the cannabinoid content is based on averaged figures, the strain offers an estimated 17.6% THC. Cultivators will find that Temple of the Dog poses a moderate challenge, requiring a 65-day flowering period to reach its potential, but it is capable of producing a high yield in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Users typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted after consumption, making this hybrid a potential candidate for those seeking support with stress, pain, or sleep transition. There are no recorded offspring for this strain, keeping its genetic legacy contained to its own current iteration. Its profile offers a straightforward, balanced experience consistent with its status as a modern, THC-dominant hybrid.

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

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.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
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.
