Vodou
Vodou is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Project 4516 with E85 and Doggy Bag. Developed for cultivators seeking a robust and manageable plant, it thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Successful harvests consistently demonstrate a high yield, provided the grower can navigate the moderate difficulty level required to see the plants through their 63-day flowering cycle.
The terpene profile of Vodou is complex and diverse, led by a dominant concentration of caryophyllene followed by humulene and limonene. Myrcene, bisabolol, and linalool provide additional aromatic structure, while the profile rounds out with traces of ocimene, beta-pinene, pinene, geraniol, nerolidol, camphene, and isopulegol. This specific chemical arrangement contributes to a nuanced experience that reflects the depth of its genetic lineage.
THC-dominant in its cannabinoid composition, Vodou is frequently utilized by consumers to reach states of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted mood. Its therapeutic applications are primarily focused on the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. The genetic impact of the strain is evidenced by the development of notable offspring, including Vodou Sprinkles, which carries forward its distinctive traits.

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.
PMC11060501: opioid-independent antinociception; appetite suppression (anorectic); NF-κB dual-pathway synergy with caryophyllene.
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
