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

Okay, this is a family reunion happening inside my nervous system. The first thing I notice is a bright euphoric lift behind the eyes. That's likely the limonene talking, a sunny, grinning kind of happiness that arrives before I've even finished exhaling that sour diesel cloud.

Then the myrcene shows up and starts quietly turning down the dimmer on my muscles. My shoulders melt. There's a warm, tingly buzz spreading from my chest outward, like static electricity that decided to be gentle. The peppery bite of caryophyllene lingers on my tongue, along with a faint cocoa sweetness I did not expect.

Here's the lesson: two closely related parents (GG #4 and GG #1) concentrate their shared traits, and what I'm feeling is that heavy, resinous family signature amplified. My couch now has noticeably stronger gravity. Also, I'm profoundly interested in snacks.

This isn't a get-stuff-done strain. It's a sink-in, savor, and eventually drift off strain, and honestly, that's beautiful.

The helpful detail

New Glue: The Fifth Chapter of the GG Story

New Glue, also known as GG #5 or GG5, is an indica-dominant hybrid (about 80% indica / 20% sativa) from GG Strains, also listed as GG Genetics. It joins two members of the famous GG family, and with THC typically reported between 23% and 28%, it is firmly a heavy hitter. It is also rare on dispensary shelves, so you may need to look for it.

🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage

New Glue is most often described as a cross of:

  • Original Glue (GG #4), the best-known member of the family
  • Sister Glue (GG #1), an earlier sibling from the same breeding project

Crossing two closely related cuts tends to concentrate the family's shared traits: pungent, diesel-heavy aromatics, dense resin, and a strong body-forward effect. Sources do not fully agree on the lineage. Some list a GB Strains "New Glue" as a GG #5 line, and some seed versions are described as derived from GG #4. Seed offerings also appear under names like New Glue Fast and New Glue Auto. Two products sold as "New Glue" may not share identical genetics, so check the source when you can.

Cannabinoid Profile

  • THC: 23–28%
  • CBD: 0.1–0.5%
  • Chemovar: Type I (THC-dominant)

At this potency, a small amount goes a long way. The low CBD level means little buffering of THC's intensity.

👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics

The terpene data for New Glue is anecdotal, with no lab percentages available. Sources consistently point to this lineup:

  • Myrcene (dominant): earthy and musky, commonly associated with sedating, body-heavy relaxation
  • Limonene: bright citrus, linked with mood lift and the euphoric opening of the high
  • Caryophyllene: peppery spice and a known CB2 receptor agonist, often discussed for body comfort
  • Linalool: floral calm that may support the strain's sleepy finish
  • Pinene: the pine snap in the nose, associated with alertness

The aroma is classic GG territory. Pungent, sour diesel and earth come first, with pine, herbal and spicy layers behind them. A softer edge of sweet, citrus and fruity notes keeps it from being purely fuel.

👅 Flavor Experience

You'll taste the diesel-and-earth core first. Reported flavors include:

  • Earthy, sour and diesel on the inhale
  • Pine, herbal and spicy notes mid-palate, consistent with pinene and caryophyllene
  • Sweet, cocoa, berry and vanilla hints on the exhale, especially noted in some seed-grown versions

🎯 Effects & Experience

New Glue usually opens with a euphoric, happy, uplifted headspace. That lift soon gives way to deep relaxation, often with a tingly body feel. As the session goes on, many people report feeling sleepy and very hungry. Some also note an aroused quality.

The overall arc moves from a cheerful mood boost to a full-body settle, which is typical of an 80% indica profile led by myrcene.

🎮 Use Cases & Activities

  • Evening wind-down, when you have nowhere to be
  • Sleep and bedtime, as the heavy finish takes over
  • Movies, TV and music, where the euphoric opening shines
  • Eating, given how reliably the munchies arrive
  • Baths and showers, paired with the tingly body relaxation

💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential

These uses are based on user reports, not clinical evidence. New Glue may help with:

  • Stress and anxious feelings, through its calming, euphoric effects
  • Low mood, via the happy, uplifted opening
  • Insomnia, thanks to its sedating finish
  • Chronic pain and muscle tension
  • Appetite loss

Some sources also mention PTSD, though that support is thin.

⚠️ Consumer Considerations

With THC up to 28%, New Glue is best suited to experienced consumers. Reported side effects include dry mouth and, at higher doses, paranoia. Newer consumers should start with a very small amount and save it for a calm evening setting.
