Warhead is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar derived from the parent strain Sour Pez. Engineered for performance, this strain requires a moderate level of grower expertise to manage effectively throughout its 67-day flowering cycle. It is versatile enough to thrive in both indoor and outdoor environments, consistently rewarding cultivators with high yields of trichome-dense flowers.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Warhead is dictated by a chemical composition led by terpinolene, followed closely by myrcene and caryophyllene. This specific terpene hierarchy produces a distinct sensory experience characterized by the interplay between the sharp, floral notes of terpinolene and the earthy, spicy undertones provided by the inclusion of myrcene and caryophyllene. The strain maintains a THC-dominant profile, testing at approximately 11% THC with a trace CBD content of 0.25%.
Functionally, Warhead is recognized for producing effects that are creative, uplifted, and happy. Due to these characteristics, it is often selected for focus and social activities where clarity and an upbeat mood are desired. As of the current registration, there are no notable offspring recorded for this lineage.

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.
◈
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
△
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
