Description
Royal Gorilla, once exclusive to the United States, has recently made its way to Europe, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about cannabis strains. Known for its potent therapeutic properties, Royal Gorilla is particularly effective in managing chronic pain and other ailments.
The story of Royal Gorilla’s creation is as remarkable as the strain itself. It all started when two American breeders, Joesy Whales and Lone Watie, accidentally created this strain. Joesy’s Chem Sis strain unexpectedly hermaphrodized, pollinating his Sour Dubb. While Joesy discarded the resulting flower, Lone decided to keep some of the seeds, perhaps out of curiosity. This led to the birth of Gorilla Glue, now also known as Royal Gorilla. The breeders quickly realized they had created something exceptional, as the plant exhibited a remarkably high cannabinoid content. The strain’s name was inspired by the sticky, resinous buds that cling like glue to anything they touch.
Royal Gorilla is revered for its balanced, relaxing effects that are strong enough to leave medicinal users “glued” to the couch. Unlike other strains, it’s cultivated not for yield but for the superior quality of its buds. It thrives both indoors and outdoors, producing massive, resin-coated buds with vibrant lime-green leaves that shimmer in the sunlight. As a medicinal strain, Royal Gorilla offers powerful calming effects, making it ideal for stress reduction and the alleviation of various physical symptoms, including chronic conditions.
This balanced hybrid, with its 50% indica and 50% sativa composition, delivers a unique aroma—a captivating blend of earthy and sweet notes with hints of lemon and pine. The rich flavor profile is sure to satisfy even the most discerning cannabis enthusiasts.
