Alien Gorilla actually looks like a species from a different planet, solar system, or galaxy. Her glowing flowers are distinct from those of many other strains. Her buds display mixed shades of gray, purple, red, orange, and yellow, besides the regular green color. Large crystal trichomes, brightly colored sugar leaves and sparkling orange calyxes surround these visually spectacular flowers.
The Alien Gorilla strain causes an instant high, making the muscles feel pleasantly heavy and the head hazy. Huge quantities of resin are produced in the trichomes on these flowers, covering the plant in a glossy coat. This strong resin carries a titanic 25% THC content and low CBD levels, putting Alien Gorilla in the upper potency top ranks.
Terpenes
The Alien Gorilla strain’s taste is quite unique, with an incensed background that gives off a very strong fragrance. Coupled with predominantly sweet, woody, and citrusy nuances, the senses get trapped in a marvelous experience. All of these sensory stimuli are thanks to the dominant terpenes found in Alien Gorilla, which are caryophyllene, humulene, limonene, and myrcene.
Effects
The psychoactive cannabinoids in Alien Gorilla have such a strong level of intensity that the first time smoking it results in an immediate high that lasts for hours. Even a tiny Alien Gorilla toke will melt customers into the sofa and stimulate a strong appetite. If you plan on having a relaxing and chilling day, Alien Gorilla is perfect for it, but not the ideal strain for daytime use.
However, with a good film and a big meal, this bud makes the ideal evening and nighttime smoke for kicking back and relaxing. The terpenes add to your smoking experience in unique ways.
Caryophyllene delivers a spicy, funky warmth to the nose, similar to cinnamon, and cloves best for stress relieving and reducing anxiety. Humulene gives a subtle earthy, woody, and spicy note with anti-inflammatory effects, while limonene produces the fruity, citrusy aroma, with similar effects as caryophyllene. Lastly, myrcene is responsible for the peppery, spicy, balsam fragrance in Alien Gorilla and has therapeutic and calming effects.
