Hypothermia Strain: Effects, Flavor, Terpenes and Lineage

By James Buddsey · Updated November 4, 2026

Hypothermia is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain bred from White Widow and AK-47, with Blueberry often named in the mix, known for a blueberry, citrus and diesel flavor and a happy, creative high that turns relaxing. Leafly and Weedmaps credit Brothers In Farms, and AllBud lists the same White Widow and AK-47 lineage. AllBud and Leafly’s description put THC at roughly 23% to 27%, so it is a strong strain.

Hypothermia Strain at a Glance

Where Hypothermia Comes From

Hypothermia combines two of the best-known classic hybrids. AllBud lists it as White Widow crossed with AK-47, and Leafly lists the same two parents in its genetics panel while describing the full cross as White Widow, AK-47 and Blueberry. Weedmaps repeats that three-strain description. The Blueberry influence would explain the berry flavor that shows up in most reviews.

Leafly and Weedmaps both credit Brothers In Farms as the breeder. No release date is published. Weedmaps also lists a second, indica-leaning Hypothermia built from Blunicorn and Slurricane #23, which is associated with In House Genetics. That version is a different plant with a sweeter, mintier profile, so if a menu names In House Genetics, expect something different from what is described here. Weedmaps also uses the alias Hypothermia #1.

The Brothers In Farms version has a small review base but high scores: Leafly shows a 4.9 average from about 10 ratings, and AllBud a 4.5 from 23 votes.

Hypothermia Effects: What It Feels Like

The sources describe a high that moves in stages. AllBud calls the onset energizing and mentally sharp before it shifts into euphoria and relaxation, and describes the effects as long-lasting and potent enough to suit experienced users. Weedmaps describes a euphoric, giggly lift followed by a burst of energy and then a sedative finish. Leafly tags creative, energetic and happy as the top effects, though it rates the overall experience as mostly calming.

Leafly reviewers mostly report a relaxed, happy or euphoric high, some with good focus. One reviewer used it nightly to unwind and fall asleep, and another describes a numbing, tingly body sensation that they compared to an icy-hot gel, a nice fit for the name. The single AllBud review describes a clear-headed, energizing, almost sativa-like high suited to active daytime use. Several users call it hard-hitting, especially as a dab. Take it slowly until you know which side of the strain your batch favors.

Hypothermia Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor

Leafly lists blueberry, diesel and berry as the top flavors and mentions earthy, citrus and spicy herbal notes in its description. AllBud describes a sweet, fruity blueberry and citrus flavor with a hint of spicy flowers on the exhale and a woody pine aroma. Weedmaps describes an earthy, woodsy aroma with citrus and a mellow, herbal taste. One AllBud reviewer found no fruit at all in their batch, only sharp pine and wood, which suggests phenotypes vary.

Leafly lists beta-caryophyllene as the dominant terpene, followed by linalool and limonene, and Weedmaps names the same three. That combination fits the profile: caryophyllene for pepper and spice, linalool for the floral note and a calmer finish, and limonene for citrus brightness. AllBud describes dense, forest-green buds with purple undertones and purple-tinted trichomes.

• Beta-caryophyllene: peppery and spicy, also found in black pepper and cloves
• Linalool: floral and lavender-like
• Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel

Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.

Side Effects and How to Use Hypothermia

Leafly users report dry mouth and paranoia as the main downsides. Because batches commonly test in the mid to high 20s, too much can feel overwhelming or sedating. Start with a small amount and give it time.

With Hypothermia, 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.

Do People Use Hypothermia for Medical Reasons?

On Leafly, users most often say they reach for Hypothermia for anxiety, pain and inflammation, and the description also mentions depression and appetite loss. AllBud’s listing adds stress and nausea, and its one reviewer mentions ADHD, depression and PTSD. These are personal reports, not clinical findings.
