Temptation is a modern, hybrid cultivar derived from its parent strain, Jealousy. It has established a footprint in contemporary breeding, serving as the genetic foundation for numerous progeny, including Astroglide, Ballerz, Champagne Showers, Crotch Rocket, Fetti Wap, Hot Coco, Ice Cream Cake Bx1, Jessica Rabbit, No #44, Rico Suave, Sundae Temptation, and Temptation Mints. Cultivators will find that Temptation represents an intermediate challenge with a flowering period of 65 days. It is versatile enough to be grown in both indoor and outdoor environments, consistently delivering a high yield.
The chemical composition of Temptation is defined by a complex terpene profile dominated by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, linalool, humulene, terpinolene, beta-pinene, and bisabolol. This specific arrangement of terpenes informs the strain’s sensory experience, creating a nuanced aromatic and flavor profile that reflects this diverse botanical arrangement.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Temptation is primarily utilized by those seeking effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a functional choice for managing stress and pain, while also providing support for those addressing sleep-related concerns. Through its wide-reaching genetic legacy, the strain continues to influence the development of modern cannabis varieties, securing its position as a staple in current breeding programs.

●●○○
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.
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.
