White Moonshine is a modern hybrid-indica variety derived from its parent strain, Blue Moonshine. Ideally suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, the strain reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering cycle. Maintaining a moderate difficulty level during the growth process, the plant is characterized by its capacity to produce high yields. Its genetic influence is well-documented in the industry, as the strain has been used to develop notable offspring including Aliens On Moonshine, Blue Power, Shine N' Sour, White Chocolate, and WhiteNightmare.
The chemical profile of White Moonshine is defined by a primary concentration of pinene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene. These are further supported by a balanced secondary composition of limonene, ocimene, beta-pinene, and humulene, with tertiary traces of linalool, bisabolol, guaiol, and nerolidol. This complex array of terpenes contributes to the specific botanical profile of the plant, which informs the sensory experience for the user.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, White Moonshine is recognized for its ability to induce effects of relaxation, calm, and focus. Due to this cannabinoid profile and the associated therapeutic benefits, the strain is frequently selected by users to manage symptoms of pain, stress, and sleep disturbances. Through its stable genetic foundation and consistent psychoactive output, it remains a functional tool for patients and consumers seeking specific physiological relief.

Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
