Galactic Grapefruit

Genetics: Grapefruit Diesel x Trop Cookies BX

Sativa/Indica Scale: 80/20 (Sativa-Dominant)

Five Key Words: Citrus, Fuel, Energetic, Focused, Uplifting

Cannabinoid Profile: Total THC: 31.47%, Total CBD: 0.15%, Total Cannabinoids: 37.82%

Terpene Profile (Total 3.54%): δ-Limonene (0.81%), β-Caryophyllene (0.67%)

Lab Data Reality & Ratio Justification:

The 80/20 rating is a clear, unambiguous call from the lab data. δ-Limonene is overwhelmingly the most prominent terpene and is one of the most well-documented terpenes for providing uplifting, antidepressant, and energizing effects. The substantial amount of β-Caryophyllene is critical; it doesn't create a sedative body high but instead acts on the body's CB2 receptors to provide a grounding, anti-anxiety effect that smooths the sharp edges of the high-THC, high-Limonene experience. The chemical profile is overwhelmingly sativa-dominant, with the immense THC level (31.47%) and high total cannabinoids amplifying the intense cerebral focus and long-lasting energy.

The Entourage Effect & Genetic Expression:

A sativa powerhouse bred for purpose. The Grapefruit Diesel lineage delivers the sharp, energizing Limonene and classic fuel notes. The Trop Cookies backcross (BX) amplifies the sweet citrus complexity and contributes to the monstrous cannabinoid content. The entourage effect is a focused laser beam: Limonene provides the potent motivational push, while Caryophyllene ensures the experience is clean and manageable, not racy or paranoid. This is a "thinking person's" sativa for complex tasks.

Therapeutic Uses:

Primary: 

  • Depression, Fatigue, ADHD

Secondary: 

  • Chronic Stress, Inflammation, Headaches

Mechanism: 

The high Limonene content is a potent mood-elevator and focus-enhancer, while the Caryophyllene provides a grounding effect, making it suitable for more severe depressive episodes and attention deficits without causing the lethargy associated with some medications.

Smoking Experience & Summary: The smoke is sharp, tangy, and expansive, with a distinct grapefruit rind and diesel fuel finish that lingers on the palate. The high is potent and intensely cerebral, hitting quickly behind the eyes with a surge of focus, motivation, and euphoria. This is a clean, powerful energy that lasts for 2+ hours, making it perfect for tackling demanding projects, engaging in physical activity, or sparking deep conversation. The 37.8% total cannabinoids promise a rich, full-spectrum effect.

Food & Beverage Pairings: 

  • Grapefruit or orange sorbet; Pale Ale or IPA beer; Salad with a citrus vinaigrette

Activity Pairings: 

  • Morning exercise or yoga; Brainstorming sessions and problem-solving; Exploring a new city or museum

Consumption Note:

  • Best for experienced consumers. A single hit from a bong or vape is often enough for a strong, long-lasting effect. Overconsumption can lead to overstimulation.
