USA - Hybrid
USA is a modern hybrid strain developed from the crossing of 14th Star and Betsy. Bred for consistent performance as a hybrid, this cultivar is cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments. It carries a moderate grow difficulty and concludes its flowering stage in 63 days, ultimately providing a high yield for the cultivator.
The chemical profile of USA is defined by a primary presence of myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary terpenes, respectively. This specific aromatic combination creates a complex sensory experience that bridges earthy and spicy notes. These terpenes work in concert to define the profile, contributing to the distinct olfactory and flavor nuances observed in the harvested flower.
As a THC-dominant variety, USA is recognized for producing effects that are primarily relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Users often select this strain to address issues related to stress, pain, and sleep. The influence of this modern hybrid extends to its genetic legacy, as it serves as the parent to notable offspring including BMW and Lionheart.

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.
