About

Gushers (also known as White Gushers or TK41) was bred by affiliates of the Cookies Family collective in San Francisco during the 2010s, with Connected Cannabis sometimes credited as the specific breeder. The cross is Gelato #41 with Triangle Kush, pairing a Cookie Fam Gelato phenotype with a Florida-derived Triangle Kush cut. Triangle Kush is itself one of the parents of Wedding Cake, which puts Gushers and Wedding Cake in adjacent branches of the broader Cookies family tree. The strain's name references the squeeze-tube fruit snack. The flavor tags in our records list berry, earthy, grape, sweet, and tropical, which captures the fruit-candy impression that earned the strain its name. The aromatic character leans toward the Gelato parent's creamy-dessert profile with the Triangle Kush adding a denser OG-style backbone. The terpene data in our database is strong. Caryophyllene leads at 0.76%, with limonene at 0.31% and humulene at 0.29% in supporting positions. Myrcene at 0.15% and linalool at 0.15% round out a well-distributed top five. The humulene at 0.29% is notable because humulene typically sits as a trace terpene; at that concentration it contributes an earthy-hoppy note that grounds the strain's sweeter fruit character. Our database chemotype classification is "Purple (Caryophyllene-dominant)", consistent with the indica-leaning classification. THC shows as a fixed 20% in our records, and CBD at 0.6%, which is elevated for a THC-forward commercial strain and worth noting. The limited THC range (20% fixed rather than a variance) suggests limited lab sampling, so consumers should expect potency variability between batches. Reviewers describe the effects as relaxed leading, with uplifted following, a two-effect spread that matches Gushers' reputation as an evening hybrid that does not fully sedate.

Why does Gushers feel pain-relieving?

Gushers's pain-relieving effects are linked to its dominant caryophyllene (0.76%), one of the few terpenes that binds directly to CB2 cannabinoid receptors. Complemented by limonene (0.31%), known for mood elevation and stress relief.
