The Gorilla Glue #4 has made a name for itself as one of the most potent strains on the planet. It frequently reaches 28% THC under optimal growing conditions.
Now grown by GG Seeds, this variety was created by accident. A hermaphrodite of Chem's Sister pollinated a Sour Dubb. Although the hermaphrodite was discarded, some of the seeds were preserved. From these seeds sprouted the Gorilla Glue family.
Gorilla Glue #4 is the most impressive phenotype. So impressive that it won Best Hybrid at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cups in Los Angeles and Michigan, and a few awards at the Jamaican World Cannabis Cup.
The aroma is very strong, consisting mainly of diesel with hints of chocolate and coffee, although it is also described as sweet and earthy. The smoke is so full-bodied and flavorful that you'll want to take it a second time. The buds are green with orange hairs. It is very dense, spongy, resinous and covered with trichomes.
Effects of Gorilla Glue #4
GG4 contains an average of 18 to 25 % of THC, but up to 32 % can be found in some dispensaries. CBD content is very low, between 0.05 and 0.1 %.
Gorilla Glue #4 delivers sativa and indica effects in all their potency. Expect a strong feeling of relaxation, coupled with intense brain activity. Above all, this strain delivers a happy, relaxed, slightly comatose mood for medical and recreational patients. You may also feel a little hungry.
Gorilla Glue #4 gives you the thrill, whether you're a medical or recreational user. It gives a full body effect, despite its sativa dominance. The body effect may result from the THC/CBD ratio, the terpene profile and/or the synergistic effects of the cannabinoids. In addition to the effect on the body, you can expect stimulant and cerebral effects. Not exactly a variety for use in the morning, Gorilla Glue #4 is better suited to a day off or to end the day.
Recreational users will find that the buzz goes straight to the head. The effect is heavy, as this is a variety that sticks you to the couch. You'll feel the effect immediately, which will provide relaxation and euphoria.
With a low CBD content, Gorilla Glue #4 is not indicated for serious conditions such as seizures, cancer and central nervous disorders. It is good for mild to moderate conditions such as headaches and insomnia.
Medical patients tend to use Gorilla Glue #4 for cancer, chronic pain, herniated discs, arthritis or fibromyalgia. Others just appreciate its ability to decompress after a few taps.
This variety has a reputation for being able to treat disorders of a more mental origin, such as stress, anxiety and depression. In particular, people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have made Gorilla Glue #4 their variety of choice.
