    DeePuff Pick Reason

    Skunk Ape earns its DeePuff fit from 14% THC, a chill evening profile led by Myrcene, and effects that lean calmer and more body-forward.

    Stack Guidance
    Stacks with
    Citrus terpene strains for lift
    Low-dose creative hybrids
    Avoid stacking
    Very sedating indicas if you need momentum
    Unknown edibles until you know tolerance

    If visions of a black and white striped mutant skunk-ape monster are giving you nightmares, it's time to put down whatever you've been smoking and pick up the real deal: Skunk Ape. This indica is a cross of Las Vegas Purple Kush and Original Glue, although the original breeder has been lost in the sands of time. Skunk Ape will inspire much mellower dream scapes, thanks to its reportedly gentle, euphoric, sleepy, and uplifting effects. You can expect that pleasant, skunky smell to pop, layered with sweet, fruity elements and hints of grapes.

    Mostly THC

    14.0 : 1

    Some CBD buffering — slightly less anxious peak than pure THC chemovars.

    Niesink & van Laar 2013 — CBD attenuates THC-induced psychotomimesis.

    Actual Delivered Dose

    Skunk Ape is 14% THC, but combustion + first-pass loss eat most of it. Here's what reaches your bloodstream.

    Sources

    Joint / Blunt: Combustion + sidestream loss; ~63–73% destroyed (Pomahacova 2009).

    Bong: Cooler combustion, less sidestream; ~50–60% retained.

    Dry-Herb Vape: Volcano studies show ~55–80% delivery at 180–210°C (Hazekamp 2006).

    Dab / Concentrate: Pre-decarbed extract; quartz-banger 500°F (Raber 2015).

    Edible: High first-pass hepatic loss; 4–20% bioavailability (Lucas 2018).

    Sublingual / Oil: Bypasses some first-pass; 13–35% bioavailable.

    What are Terpenes?

    Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to each strain's unique smell, taste, and effects. They work synergistically with cannabinoids in what's known as the "entourage effect" to enhance or modify the overall experience.
