Trauma is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar developed through the crossbreeding of Permanent Marker and RS-11. This specific genetic pairing has established a robust plant capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a moderate level of cultivation difficulty, culminating in a high yield after a flowering cycle of 62 days. Its genetic footprint is already evident in contemporary breeding circles, serving as the foundation for notable offspring such as Brain Banger, Dantes Breakdown, and Traumatized Gary.
The chemical profile of Trauma is characterized by a complex, multi-layered terpene expression led by limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool. These primary compounds are supported by significant secondary and tertiary contributors, including myrcene, beta-pinene, pinene, bisabolol, humulene, and ocimene, with trace amounts of caryophyllene-oxide, nerolidol, and terpinolene rounding out the aromatic spectrum. This diverse assembly of terpenes dictates the sensory experience, offering a nuanced profile that reflects the distinct chemical contributions of its parent lineages.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Trauma is engineered to facilitate a state that is simultaneously relaxed, calm, and focused. These balanced effects make the strain a functional choice for those managing physical pain or high levels of stress, while also providing utility for individuals seeking assistance with sleep. The combination of its potent cannabinoid content and its comprehensive terpene array continues to influence modern breeding, cementing its position as a versatile tool for both recreational and targeted relief applications.

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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
