Double Burger is an indica-dominant cannabis strain bred from GMO Cookies and Donny Burger, known for a pungent, savory diesel funk and very high potency. Skunk House Genetics made it as a way to push the GMO line further, since Donny Burger is itself a GMO backcross. Leafly lists it at about 28% THC, with mostly calming effects.

Where Double Burger Comes From
Double Burger is a Skunk House Genetics release and one of the building blocks of the Burger family. Leafly lists it as GMO Cookies crossed with Donny Burger, and SeedFinder’s breeder page gives the same pairing, written as GMO x GMO backcross, aka Donny Burger. In Leafly’s 2025 Strain of the Year story on Hash Burger, the breeders Respect and Mrs. Respect describe Double Burger as essentially a third backcross to GMO. In other words, it doubles down on GMO’s garlic and fuel.
The Burger line was built during a partnership between Skunk House’s Skunk Master Flex and the Respects of California Seed Bank, which has since ended. Skunk House is still listed as Double Burger’s breeder on both Leafly and SeedFinder.
Double Burger matters most as a parent. Respect used a Double Burger male to make Hash Burger, Leafly’s 2025 Strain of the Year, and Triple Burger is GMO Cookies crossed back to Double Burger. SeedFinder lists more than a dozen other descendants, including Cherry Burger, Disco Fries and Double Solo Burger.
Double Burger Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly says Double Burger’s effects are mostly calming, and its readers most often tag it talkative, relaxed and focused. Reviewers describe body relaxation with a mood lift rather than a blank stupor, and a few note a slow onset, so give it time before taking more.
At around 28% THC this is a heavy hitter. It suits evenings and experienced consumers. Newer users should start with one small hit; strong GMO-line strains can tip into dizziness or anxiety when overdone.
Double Burger Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
This is a savory strain, not a sweet one. Leafly lists diesel, skunk and pungent as its flavors, and the breeder framing is about refining GMO’s garlicky, fuel-heavy funk. Expect a loud, sharp nose that fills a room and a dense, gassy smoke with a savory finish.
We found no published lab terpene profile for Double Burger, so we are not listing dominant terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use Double Burger
Leafly readers report dry eyes, dizziness and anxiety as the main negatives, and some reviewers mention a harsh cough. The anxiety reports are worth taking seriously at this potency: go slow and pace yourself.
With Double Burger, as with any strain, a smaller dose usually avoids anxiety or grogginess. Our cannabis safety guide covers what to do if you take too much.

SeedFinder’s breeder notes describe Double Burger as a heavy indica that finishes in about eight to nine weeks and can be grown indoors or outdoors. It has not been released as feminized seed, so expect regular seeds or clones and some phenotype hunting. No reliable yield or height figures are published.
