Batch context Complete cannabinoid record THC 15-24% · Type I chemovar

There’s more to a strain than THC%.

THC percentage is a property of the product in your hand, not of the strain. It shifts with the batch, the grower, the harvest, and how the flower was cured and stored — the same strain can test several points apart from two different jars.

Treat the ranges below as market context for what to expect on a shelf — then read the actual label on the product you are buying, and use the terpene profile to judge how it will feel.

Professor High interprets the pattern

The moment this hits, you'll notice a bright, fruity-sweet exhale that opens into something warmer — earthy, a little skunky, like dessert wrapped in an old-school Skunk backbone. Within minutes, a euphoric lift arrives, cheerful and a bit giddy, sharpening your senses just enough to feel creative before the myrcene starts pulling you down into your couch cushions. That's the science talking: myrcene is a sedating terpene, and here it's doing exactly what it's built to do. Your limbs get heavy, your appetite wakes up, and your thoughts slow into a comfortable, unhurried rhythm. It's not a knockout punch — it's a gradual descent, mental brightness fading into full-body ease. By the tail end, you're pleasantly foggy, hungry, and very ready for either a snack or a nap. This is a nighttime strain doing nighttime things, and doing them well.

The helpful detail

Green Poison: A Multi-Award-Winning Skunk Descendant

Few hybrids can claim the sheer competitive track record of Green Poison, a 70% indica / 30% sativa cross bred by Sweet Seeds and stacked with first-place trophies across Europe and South America. Built on Skunk genetics, it delivers a body-first, sleep-friendly high wrapped in a sweet, skunky, fruit-forward package.

🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage

Green Poison traces back to Skunk #1 crossed with an undisclosed early-flowering indica clone, with some breeding lines referencing Early Skunk x Skunk parentage. This consistent Skunk foundation is why the strain reliably lands at a 70/30 indica-dominant ratio across the various seed lines that carry its name (including fast and autoflowering versions from Sweet Seeds). The strain functions as a Type II chemovar, meaning both THC and CBD are present, though CBD stays low.

👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics

Myrcene is the dominant terpene, and it's doing a lot of the heavy lifting here — this is the terpene most associated with the sedating, couch-friendly body weight that defines Green Poison's evening reputation. Supporting terpenes include:

  • Caryophyllene — a peppery, spicy note that also contributes to the body-relief side of the experience
  • Limonene — brings a citrus brightness that cuts through the earthiness and lifts the mood
  • Pinene — adds a sharp, herbal edge and a touch of mental clarity
  • Linalool — floral and calming, reinforcing the relaxing, sleep-supportive profile

Together these produce a nose that's sweet, fruity, and skunky up front, with earthy, floral, spicy, herbal, and citrus undertones layered beneath.

👅 Flavor Experience

The smoke mirrors the aroma closely: an initial sweet and fruity hit gives way to earthy and spicy mid-palate notes, with herbal, citrus, pine, and floral accents rounding out the exhale. It's a complex, dessert-adjacent flavor profile that avoids being one-note.

🎯 Effects & Experience

Expect a classic indica-leaning arc. You'll likely feel euphoric and happy early on, with an uplifted, creative mental lift that doesn't overstay its welcome before the relaxed and sleepy body effects settle in. Many users also report increased focus and a notable boost in hunger. THC has been reported anywhere from 15% to 24% depending on the batch and testing source, so effects intensity can vary — start conservatively if you're testing a new batch.

🎮 Use Cases & Activities

Given its evening-leaning profile and sedating myrcene backbone, Green Poison shines for:

  • Winding down after a long day
  • Pre-sleep relaxation when your mind needs to slow down
  • Passive social settings where a mellow, happy mood is welcome
  • Appetite support for those needing a boost before a meal

💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential

Green Poison's body-forward chemistry (heavy myrcene and caryophyllene) may help with pain management, muscle spasms, and inflammation, while its calming mental profile may support stress reduction, anxiety relief, and sleep. It's frequently cited by users managing chronic discomfort or insomnia.

🏆 Awards & Recognition

This strain's trophy case is genuinely deep, with first-place wins at competitions including the III Copa Cannaval Tenerife (2016), Cannabis Canarias Cup Summer (2012) and Winter (2011) Editions, VI Copa THC Valencia (2016), VI Copa C.A.B.A. Argentina (2013), Copa del Mar Argentina (2013), and multiple additional Spanish and Argentinian cups — plus recognition as a multiple Cannabis Cup winner overall.

⚠️ Consumer Considerations

Green Poison suits both relaxed intermediate users and experienced consumers seeking dependable nighttime relief. Because reported THC can run high, newer consumers should pace their sessions to avoid overshooting into heavy sedation.
