| Description | Gorilla Glue #4, also known as GG4, is a cultivar obtained by GG strains. It is a multiple award-winning sativa-dominant hybrid, well known for its high THC content. It averages 18 to 25 % THC, but contents as high as 32 percent can be found at some dispensaries. Oppositely, the CBD content is very low, ranging between 0.05 and 0.1 %. A fun fact about this cultivar is that it gets its name because of the resin that collects on the scissors when it is trimmed. Gorilla Glue #4 has several parents due to extensive backcrossing, namely Sour Diesel, Sour Dubb, Chem’s Sister, and Chocolate Diesel. The aroma of Gorilla Glue #4 is very strong and strongly resembles diesel with notes of chocolate and coffee, although sweet and earthy is also used to describe it. The buds are green with orange hairs. They are also very dense, spongy, resinous, and covered in trichomes. Gorilla Glue #4 is used for both medical and recreational purposes. It gives a full body relaxation, which might be a result of the THC/CBD ratio, the terpene profile, and/or the synergistic effects of the cannabinoids. Its low CBD content makes Gorilla Glue #4 not that useful for serious medical conditions such as seizures, cancer, and central nervous disorders. However, it appears to be useful for mild and moderate conditions such as headache and insomnia. It also provides sedating effects for painful disorders like arthritis and slipped discs. This cultivar has a reputation for being able to treat disorders that are more mental in origin, such as stress, anxiety, and depression. It is particularly referred to by people with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). |
