Gorilla Butter is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and butter and creamy flavor profile.

Gorilla Butter stands out for its complex sensory profile and balanced effects. The strain produces an initial euphoric cerebral high that enhances creativity, mood, and social engagement, followed by a soothing physical relaxation that doesn't overwhelm.
