Gorilla Glue #4

A notoriously sticky strain, Gorilla Glue #4 got its name from the fact that growers has a hard time trimming its buds, with the high resin content leading their scissors to stick together. Thus, this heavy-hitter of a strain was born. It is said to be sativa-dominant, although it is in fact more accurately an exact hybrid of both sativa and indica properties.

Developed by GG Strains, Gorilla Glue #4 has become a sensation in its own right. It was created by mixing three potent parent strains, namely Chem’s Sister, Soud Dubb and Chocolate Diesel.

With its THC levels borderline through the roof, having clocked in at times at a record 30% in some dispensaries, Gorilla Glue #4 is nothing for the faint hearted. Bold in its cerebral effects, it induces a heavy head high with a potent push to relaxation.

Gorilla Glue instills a happy, giggly high with a sense of skin-tingling euphoria. It is uplifting while maintaining focus, and is a perfect strain for those days when you want to just chill out on the couch with your buddies and unwind.

Fragrance

Indulgent in its unique fragrance, you can smell that Gorilla Glue #4 means business like no other. It has a woody, pine-like aroma to it that borders on a hint of fresh sandalwood. What breaks up its pungent, mossy scent is that of a certain dark sweetness, much like berries and fresh wild cherries.

Flavors

Gorilla Glue #4 tastes much the way it smells. Its flavors are all about a dark woody aftertaste, mixed with a hint of earthy pine. It also has a hint of coffee and chocolate in it, breaking up the dark spicy accents with a hint of the fragrant sweetness. Sometimes, it can leave a slightly chemical aftertaste in your mouth due to its potency and high THC levels.

Adverse reactions

Quoted as causing a case of “head fry” in inexperienced smokers, Gorilla Glue can give you something to be paranoid about if you come unprepared. The body stone can be intense, which can cause mild cases of anxiety and nervousness in some. A prevalent headache might be present as an effect of the intense head high.

As is usual with many potent strains, one of the most strongly observed side effects caused by this Gorilla Glue #4 is a case of dry mouth and also dry eyes. This is because it can leave you feeling severely dehydrated, which can quickly be remedied by consuming a copious amount of liquids.

Medical

Another reason why it is a favorite of many, is because of Gorilla Glue #4’s ability to soothe so many ailments. Its potency guarantees for a solid pain relief that could be caused by many potentially complicated diseases such as muscle spasms, gum disease, chronic back pains and many others.
