THC is the primary cannabinoid responsible for the psychoactive effects associated with cannabis. The amount of THC in a product can vary widely based on the method of consumption and the strain at the source of that product. The high that is produced is often enhanced by the “entourage effect” which is a combination of multiple cannabinoids in conjunction with various terpenes and individual body chemistry.
CBD is the second most prevalent cannabinoid and is primarily produced by hemp plants and at lower amounts in cannabis. CBD has soared in popularity due to its non-psychoactive effects.
Some strains come and go. Others earn a permanent place in the garden. Cherry Gorilla is one of those rare few. Born from Gorilla Glue #4 × Black Cherry Pie, we've been cultivating this remarkable phenotype for nearly a decade, and after all these years we still haven't found another quite like her. Rich purple hues, deep forest greens, and a smooth, flavorful smoke with just a touch of old-school dank character make Cherry Gorilla every bit as enjoyable to admire as she is to experience. Most consumers describe her as an exceptionally balanced hybrid, offering an easygoing ride that settles into the day like cruise control, while a smaller number find it gently eases into a more restful finish later in the evening. Cherry Gorilla is commonly associated with a terpene profile featuring caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. If you've spent much time learning about cannabis, you've probably heard people talk about caryophyllene—and for good reason. Unlike any other major cannabis terpene, caryophyllene is known for interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system, making it one of the most closely studied terpenes for its association with everyday comfort, physical recovery, and maintaining balance. Supported by limonene's reputation for encouraging an optimistic outlook and myrcene's longstanding place in many beloved evening strains, it's easy to see why this profile has developed such a loyal following among cannabis enthusiasts. If you ask us which phenotype best represents what we've worked to build at Madhouse, Cherry Gorilla is always near the top of the list. She's the flower we proudly introduce to first-time visitors, because after nearly a decade she still reminds us why great genetics are only the beginning.
