Happy, giggly, euphoric effects and a soaring head rush will have you energized and flying high, and those soothing indica genetics keep centered. Stay grounded while you reach for the stars with this crowd-pleasing strain.
Strain Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid
With a mixture of 60% indica and 40% sativa genetics in its lineage, Goldmember is technically an indica-dominant hybrid—but those high levels of sativa influence makes it an unusually enlivening experience for an indica.
While Goldmember’s effects are primarily grounding and centering, sativa genes keep it from being a classic sleepytime strain. Instead, it offers a unique blend of calming body effects, with a joyful, euphoric mental experience.
Lineage
Goldmember’s uniquely balanced blend was created by breeding its beloved balanced hybrid ancestors: Sour Banana Larry and Golden Retriever.
As you may have guessed from its name, Golden Retriever is a true crowd-pleaser that delivers happy, uplifted effects—two qualities it passed down to Goldmember. Sour Banana Larry lends a calm and centering power, plus a light munchie effect that’ll inspire you to get creative in the kitchen.

As the high settles in, you’ll enjoy a perfectly calibrated balance of blended mind and body effects. Sit back and enjoy the ride, or get creative with a favorite hobby as you ride the wave of this strain’s signature inspiring euphoria.
THC Potency
With a 24% THC level, Goldmember packs a serious punch—so if you’re not an experienced user, start low and go slow with this tasty strain.
Perfect for soothing both mental stress and physical aches and pains, Goldmember is often relied on for medical relief, but it’s a great recreational strain, too. Let the physical relief and mental uplift wash over you as you sink into this powerful high.

“This one is a nice indica-hybrid for me that’s super stoney. It has beautiful color to it to and I can easily sell it on that. It makes me giggly, stoned but still productive, and it’s overall fun. Gives a classic high feeling.”
