Z-Face is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from Face-Off OG Kush. This genetic foundation contributes to the plant’s robust profile, which requires moderate experience to cultivate effectively. When grown in either indoor or outdoor environments, Z-Face produces a high yield within a flowering period of approximately 67 days.
The chemical profile of Z-Face is led by a dominant presence of myrcene, followed by secondary notes of caryophyllene and a tertiary hint of limonene. This specific terpene hierarchy defines the strain’s distinct sensory experience, offering a nuanced aromatic and flavor profile that reflects its OG lineage.
Users typically report a sense of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted after consumption. These effects make Z-Face a frequent choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, or aid with sleep. The strain has also established a notable genetic legacy through its offspring, which includes verified crosses known as Cutiez and Two Face.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| limonene | ~60% | citrus | social · creative |
| caryophyllene | ~28% | spicy | relaxing · social |
| linalool | ~12% | floral | relaxing · solo |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

spicy
●●○○
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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
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.
