Wagyu is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossbreeding of Tangie and Redneck Wedding. Intended for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, this cultivar requires moderate growing experience to manage its high yield requirements over a standard 60-day flowering period. Its genetic influence has persisted in the breeding community, serving as the parent for notable offspring such as Tiger's Eye and Squid Row.
The chemical profile of Wagyu is defined by a complex, wide-ranging terpene spectrum that begins with dominant caryophyllene, followed by myrcene, limonene, humulene, linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, beta-pinene, valencene, pinene, isopulegol, and terpinolene. These constituents contribute to the specific olfactory and flavor properties of the plant, delivering a profile that shifts from spicy and herbal notes to subtle citrus and floral undertones.
As a THC-dominant hybrid with 18.2% THC and 0% CBD, Wagyu is primarily utilized for its relaxed, happy, and uplifted effects. These qualities make the strain a functional option for users managing symptoms of stress and pain, while also serving as a frequent choice for those seeking assistance with sleep. By balancing its therapeutic versatility with a robust lineage, Wagyu remains a calculated addition to contemporary cannabis cultivation.

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: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
