Scrooge

Scrooge: Sweet Fuel With a Cool Menthol Edge

Scrooge, also sold as The Scrooge or TS, is a potent indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica / 40% sativa) from Compound Genetics. Reported THC runs from 19% to 32% with no meaningful CBD, which makes it a Type I chemovar built for experienced palates and tolerances. It is still considered uncommon, so you may have to hunt for it.

🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage

Most sources, including the breeder, list Scrooge as a cross of Jokerz #31 (sometimes written Joker's 31) and The Menthol. One seed retailer lists Gastro Pop #5 x The Menthol instead, so you may see either pedigree depending on where you shop. The Menthol appears in nearly every source, and its influence is hard to miss in the strain's cool, minty character.

Retailers also label Scrooge inconsistently. Some call it sativa and others call it indica. The 60/40 indica-leaning hybrid label fits the split effect reports best.

👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics

Terpene data for Scrooge is anecdotal, and no lab percentages are available. Limonene is reported as the dominant terpene, with a broad supporting cast:

• Limonene: a bright, mood-lifting terpene that likely drives the uplifted and happy reports
• Linalool: associated with calm and relaxation
• Caryophyllene: peppery spice and a CB2 receptor agonist, studied for body comfort
• Pinene: linked to alertness, which may explain the focused reports
• Myrcene: earthy and associated with body heaviness
• Humulene and Terpinolene: supporting notes that round out the blend

The nose is loud and layered:

• Diesel and pungent fuel
• Sweet and creamy undertones
• Menthol and mint coolness
• Funky cheese with a spicy edge

👅 Flavor Experience

The flavor follows the aroma closely. You'll likely notice:

• Sweet and creamy notes up front
• Diesel and spice through the middle
• A cooling mint/menthol exhale
• A savory blue cheese funk
• An earthy finish that lingers

🎯 Effects & Experience

Scrooge's effect reports genuinely split. Some people describe an energetic, uplifted, euphoric high. Others report a relaxed, sleepy, heavy body high.

That range is common for indica-leaning hybrids with this much THC. Dose and setting tend to decide which side you feel:

• Smaller amounts often bring out the happy, focused uplift.
• Larger amounts usually tip toward deep body relaxation and drowsiness.

🎮 Use Cases & Activities

• Watching TV & Movies: settles you onto the couch without dulling your mood
• Listening to Music: euphoria plus body relaxation makes for immersive listening
• Evening Wind-Down: the indica side eases you out of the day
• Conversations: the happy, uplifted mood suits relaxed hangouts
• Eating: the sweet, savory profile pairs well with a good meal

💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential

Reported uses suggest Scrooge may help with:

• Stress: its most consistently reported benefit
• Anxiety and low mood: possibly supported by limonene and linalool
• Fatigue: from the uplifting side of the high
• Pain and sleep difficulties: possibly aided by caryophyllene and myrcene
• Inflammation, appetite, and tinnitus: mentioned less often

Anyone with anxiety should start low, because very high THC can sometimes amplify it.

⚠️ Consumer Considerations

With THC potentially above 30%, Scrooge suits intermediate to experienced consumers. The most commonly reported side effects are dry mouth and dry eyes. If you love fuel-forward strains with a dessert-like sweetness and a minty twist, this one deserves a spot on your list.
