Gorilla Glue - INDICA-
Gorilla Glue, often referred to as GG4 or Original Glue, is a highly potent, award-winning hybrid cannabis strain. It's known for its incredibly sticky, resin-coated buds, a trait that inspired its name.
Genetics and Lineage
Gorilla Glue was originally bred by GG Strains and is a three-way cross of:
-
Chem's Sister
-
Sour Dubb
-
Chocolate Diesel
Characteristics
-
Appearance: The buds are typically dense and chunky, with a vibrant green color often accentuated by orange pistils. They are famously covered in a thick layer of sticky, white trichomes.
-
Aroma and Flavor: The strain has a pungent, earthy scent with strong notes of pine and diesel, and sometimes hints of coffee or chocolate. Its flavor profile is similar, often described as peppery and woody.
-
THC Content: Gorilla Glue is known for its high THC content, which can range from 18% to over 30%, making it a favorite among experienced users.
Effects
As a balanced hybrid (though some variations may lean slightly more indica or sativa), Gorilla Glue offers a powerful combination of both head and body effects.
-
Initial Effects: The high often begins with a strong cerebral rush, which can induce feelings of euphoria, happiness, and an uplifting mood.
-
Relaxation: As the high progresses, a deep, full-body relaxation sets in, which can be so strong it's been described as "couch-locking." This heavy body buzz is a key feature of the strain.
-
Potential Medical Uses: Due to its potent effects, Gorilla Glue is often used by medical cannabis patients to help with conditions such as chronic pain, stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Its ability to stimulate appetite can also be helpful.
Due to its high potency, it is generally recommended that new or inexperienced users start with a very low dose.
