Description

Cheetah Piss

Cheetah Piss is a distinctive hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant attention in the cannabis community for its potent effects and memorable name. Created as an homage to the infamous “Cat Piss” strain, Cheetah Piss offers a unique combination of genetics, flavors, and effects that set it apart in today’s crowded cannabis market. Despite its off-putting name, this strain has earned legitimate respect among cannabis enthusiasts and connoisseurs for its quality characteristics and balanced experience¹⁰.

Genetics and Lineage

Cheetah Piss boasts an impressive genetic lineage, created through a three-way cross of:

• Lemonnade
• Gelato 42
• London Poundcake 97

This trifecta of quality strains comes from Growing Passion and Cookies Fam, resulting in a well-balanced hybrid with approximately 50% indica and 50% sativa genetics, though some phenotypes may lean slightly more toward either side¹.

The original creator of Cheetah Piss remains somewhat of a mystery, though the strain is currently popularized by Cookies Genetics based in Los Angeles⁷.

Potency and Cannabinoid Profile

Cheetah Piss is known for its impressive potency, with THC levels typically ranging between 18% and 30% depending on the specific phenotype and growing conditions¹. Most sources report THC levels in the mid-20s, making it more potent than average cannabis strains¹.

• THC: 18-30% (most commonly reported in the 20-25% range)
