October 6, 2023 | Elyxr's Blog

Did you know that only a few strains have gained instant OG status quite like Gorilla Glue? Well, now you do, as it is all thanks to its off-the-charts THC level and slight indica dominance that lends itself to an unforgettably satisfying high. Gorilla Glue’s fascinating flavor profile is just the icing on the cake, so to speak. If you’re ready to dive into this all-time classic, you’re in luck, because we’re here to tell you everything there is to know about it, and what kinds of effects for which you can expect.

Gorilla Glue Basics

Gorilla Glue goes by sever monikers – GG4, Original Glue, Gorilla Glue #1, 420 Glue, and, of course, Gorilla Glue itself. This 60% indica / 40% hybrid is balanced enough, so-to-speak, and its incredible 25%-28% THC level means that it’s a very, very potent strain in terms of its high – beginners take note. Its parents are Chocolate Diesel and Sour Diesel, both of which are incredibly popular for their strong cerebral effects, giving you something of a clue as to what to expect after a few puffs.

Bud Characteristics

Gorilla Glue’s buds are very distinctive in appearance, with small, very round nugs that are piecey in structure, and a dark olive-green hue. It has undertones of deep purple that are subdued slightly by a very sugary coating of trichome crystals that are snow-white in color.

Growing Gorilla Glue Seeds

The GG4 plant typically flowers up to 63 days and produces a decently high yield both indoors and outdoors: ranging up to 1.5 pounds, depending on the conditions.

Flavor & Aroma

We’ve already talked about Gorilla Glue’s parents, which should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect in terms of the flavor and aroma. The aroma is incredibly pungent, as to be expected, with notes of sweet and sour diesel, chocolate, and coffee, and a chemical-like nature that can’t be understated. The flavor is equally chemical-like, and even has a lot of qualities in common with Sour Diesel, in terms of its intense diesel and lemon taste, only this time, with waves of rich chocolate. That being said, it’s known for being a pretty harsh smoke.

Gorilla Glue Uses and Effects

Gorilla Glue is one of the most highly rated strains of all time, not only for its really enjoyable high, but its valuable uses on the medicinal market. And, it’s incredible potency means that the beneficial effects it can provide are that much stronger. The strain is very commonly suggested to those who have chronic pain, because of its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that are super pronounced. It’s also very antispasmodic, which can make it fantastic for muscle spasms.

The strain is a very popular choice among people with depression, because its mood-lifting effects are extremely pronounced, and can last for several hours at a time. People report feeling very motivated with this strain as well, which is great if you’ve been struggling with a disinterest in activities and hobbies lately. Taking the strain at night may help you fall asleep better, as that’s very commonly reported, all while the heavy antiemetic side of Gorilla Glue can do wonders for people with nausea. Because of its THC concentration, anyone who has a high tolerance to cannabis can enjoy getting super high with just a few puffs.

What Can You Expect When Taking Gorilla Glue?

Gorilla Glue clearly has a lot of therapeutic potential, but at the same time, it’s a big deal on the recreational market for a reason. Its ‘high’ is totally unique, and people just can’t be separated from it for too long. It acts very fast, so prepare for a head rush as soon as you put those buds down. It also takes little time to peak, making it a clear heavy-hitter.

The high begins with a blast of potent cerebral energy that instantly puts you into a daze, where you’re utterly stoned and foggy in the best way possible. It’s the type of strain that makes it near impossible to hang onto any one thought that makes its way into your brain, and that’s a great thing if you want to totally empty your mind and just be in the now, so to speak. The high gives you a feeling of unbridled euphoria that lasts and lasts, all while sending you into a state of couchlock that makes it difficult to get up off the couch. The high goes on for a long time, so prepare to feel super stoned for hours. In all likelihood, you’ll be deep in sleep by the time it wears off.
