Third Eye
Third Eye is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Jack The Ripper. As a cross-bred variety from this lineage, the plant is characterized by a moderate difficulty level when cultivated, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, provided the plants complete their standard flowering cycle of 63 days.
The chemical profile of Third Eye is defined by a primary presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary terpenes. This specific combination dictates the aromatic profile, resulting in a distinct sensory experience shaped by these dominant compounds. The interaction between these terpenes provides the foundation for the strain's overall bouquet and flavor profile.
Users typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted after consumption, making Third Eye a frequent choice for managing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. As a THC-dominant variety, its effects are well-suited for these therapeutic use cases. The genetic influence of the cultivar is evidenced by its direct contribution to several notable offspring, including Bubba X Third Eye, Otto's Jacket, and Second Sight.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.

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.
happy

morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
