Gorilla Glue, aka GG4, aka Original Glue Strain

Gorilla Glue #4, also known as GG4 or Original Glue, has earned its reputation as one of the most potent strains in the world. With THC levels often reaching as high as 28% under optimal growing conditions, this hybrid strain packs a powerful punch that can alleviate severe pain and offer a much-needed respite after a challenging workday.

When it comes to the experience of consuming Gorilla Glue, users can expect a high that is nothing short of intense. With THC levels ranging between 25% and 28%, this strain has rightfully garnered numerous accolades for its potency. Bred by GG Strains, Gorilla Glue #4 was actually created accidentally. Despite its hybrid classification, it often leans towards Sativa-dominance. The effects combine a profound sense of relaxation with intense cerebral activity.


Gorilla Glue #4 and its seeds possess distinct traits that make them stand out. The strain originated from a fortuitous incident when a Chem Sis hermaphrodite plant pollinated a Sour Dubb, leading to the birth of Gorilla Glue. Though the hermaphrodite plant was eventually destroyed, some seeds survived and were later crossbred with Chocolate Diesel, resulting in the impressive Gorilla Glue family. Among its siblings, Gorilla Glue #4 shines the brightest, having garnered recognition and won many Cannabis Cups around the world. With a strong, sour lemon aroma, this strain captivates the senses and more.

One of the primary reasons people turn to Gorilla Glue #4 is for its remarkable pain-relieving properties. The exceptionally high THC levels in this strain make it highly effective in managing pain. While the mental effects can be mind-altering, the indica lineage of Gorilla Glue intensifies the physical sensations it provides. It's worth noting that due to its potency, this strain is recommended for experienced cannabis consumers. Novice users may experience feelings of paranoia, anxiety, or excessive sedation.

Medical users find Gorilla Glue #4 particularly beneficial for chronic pain management. Additionally, it is favored for its ability to alleviate stress, making it a go-to choice for those seeking relaxation. Increased appetite is a common side effect, so having snacks on hand is advisable. This strain is best enjoyed during late afternoon or evening hours.

Positive reports have also emerged from cancer patients and individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) who have found relief through the use of Gorilla Glue #4. Other pain-related conditions such as arthritis, back injuries, and fibromyalgia may also benefit from its use. Overall, this strain creates a happy, relaxed, and sleepy vibe that appeals to both medical and recreational users.

Gorilla Glue #4, with its impressive lineage and extraordinary potency, has gained recognition worldwide among cannabis enthusiasts. Its popularity has even been acknowledged in popular culture, as evident in the mention of the strain in Jay-Z and Beyonce's song "Apesh*t." Since its emergence in 2014, it has become a beloved choice for many cannabis consumers who have access to it.

Despite some controversy surrounding the name "Gorilla Glue" and its association with the adhesive product, the strain remains highly sought after. To comply with the settlement reached between Gorilla Glue Co. and GG Strains LLC, many dispensaries now refer to it only as GG4 or Original Glue.
