Third Leg
Third Leg is a modern hybrid strain with an undocumented lineage. The variety is characterized by a moderate cultivation difficulty and adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of this cultivar is defined by a terpene composition led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. This specific arrangement of terpenes dictates the nuanced aromatic and flavor qualities of the flower. These compounds contribute to a distinct profile that balances the earthy, grounding influence of the dominant myrcene with the spice of caryophyllene and the bright notes of limonene.
As a THC-dominant hybrid, Third Leg induces effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a suitable choice for users seeking relief from stress and pain, or aid with sleep. The influence of Third Leg extends to its notable genetic legacy, having been used to develop a diverse list of offspring including 631, Animal Orgy, Cherry Salami 91, Glue Pops, Ridge Town, Salami Brittle, Stanky Leg, and Sweet Meat.

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.
