Tomahawk
Tomahawk is a modern hybrid-indica strain derived from Star Dawg. As a result of this specific genetic background, the cultivar maintains moderate difficulty during its cultivation cycle, which concludes after a 67-day flowering period. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, the plant is known for producing high yields, cementing its utility as a reliable performer in various commercial and private setups.
The terpene profile of Tomahawk is dominated by limonene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene, with secondary and tertiary contributions from nerolidol, humulene, linalool, beta-pinene, pinene, camphene, terpinolene, and bisabolol. This complex arrangement of compounds dictates its sensory characteristics, offering a profile that reflects the integration of these specific chemical constituents.
This THC-dominant strain is primarily utilized to facilitate feelings of relaxation, calm, and focus, making it a functional choice for managing pain, stress, and sleep difficulties. Its genetic influence is evident in the development of notable offspring such as Space Walrus, which continues the lineage established by the parent plant. Through these effects and systemic applications, Tomahawk serves as a distinct entry in modern hybrid-indica breeding.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |

| caryophyllene | ~12% | spicy | relaxing · social |
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: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
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.
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.
calm
afternoonLinalool GABA-A modulation + caryophyllene CB2 agonism drive anxiolysis without heavy sedation; distinct from sleepy — supports sustained presence and mild focus.
focused
morningPinene acetylcholinesterase inhibition (IC50 0.44 mM per Russo 2011) sustains acetylcholine; counteracts THC-induced short-term memory deficits.
Genetic Profile
Indica-dominant
Primarily indica with sativa influence. Relaxing body with some cerebral lift.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know where I can buy this bong? I’ve had it for years and the base of it broke, but it’s been my favorite. I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Or if anyone has one I’ll buy it off you lol. It’s the Weed Star Tomahawk bong
