Monkey Glue Strain Review (Good Supply)

For this cannabis strain review, I tried out some Monkey Glue that’s made by Good Supply. The name is pretty cool; outside of that, the whole experience was below average for me. This hybrid batch had a fairly low THC level on the label and an insignificant amount of CBD.

It’s interesting because, based on consumer reviews, it seems like people actually really enjoyed this.

For the terpene profile, the dominant terpene on the label was caryophyllene, with secondary and tertiary terpenes being humulene and myrcene.

I have not found any lineage information on this strain.

• Lineage: Unknown
• Type: Hybrid
• Potency: Fairly low THC, very low CBD (exact numbers vary by batch)
• Terpene Profile: Caryophyllene, humulene, myrcene (as labeled on this batch)
• Packaging Details: This was packaged on 02/03/2020 and tested/reviewed on 03/29/2020, 55 days after packaging.
• Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $19.70 at the SQDC in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. ($5.63/gram)

A note on numbers: THC and CBD percentages and terpene profiles vary by grower and batch, so treat the details here as one sample and check the label on the product you buy.

This product was bought legally in Quebec, where adults 21 and older can buy from government-operated stores. In the US, marijuana is still a Schedule I drug under federal law outside narrow 2026 exceptions for FDA-approved and state-licensed medical products, and state laws differ.

Appearance: 1.5/5

I always read reviews before trying something, and this Monkey Glue had plenty of positive ones. So when I opened the bag, the disappointment hit hard.

First, there were lots of little leafy popcorn buds. Second, it was very dry: I carefully put it in a jar to check, and the humidity was at 32%, which is WAY too low.

The visuals were somewhat OK, nothing unique here, just leafy green buds with some trichomes.

Aroma: 1/5

Unfortunately, the terps seemed dead on this strain. I rehydrated the weed for 24 hours to bring it up to 62% humidity, and it still smelled like almost nothing, just a tiny herbal touch. Grinding it didn't change much.

I don’t want to use the whole “you get what you pay for” excuse here because I’ve tried out a few strains with comparable price points that were actually good.

If you are looking for the best aroma, then you must check Karma Strain which is my personal favorite in terms of aroma.

Flavor: 1/5

Like the aroma, the flavor doesn't have much to offer. There is a very subtle herbal flavor on the inhale and just earth on the exhale and aftertaste, which was disappointing.

Effects: 3/5

I know, this review makes it sound like the worst weed in the world. It's not the worst, I've just tried WAY better, and this aspect was actually pleasant for me. The THC in this batch was fairly low, and I enjoyed the light buzz it gave me.

It felt like a daytime strain to me, without a lazy vibe, keeping me focused while taking the edge off. Effects vary by person, and NIDA notes that cannabis can impair thinking and coordination, so don't drive after using it.

Overall: 2/5

I would be interested in trying a different batch of this Monkey Glue to see if this was a one-off. Based on this one, I wouldn't recommend it; it's a waste of money in my opinion. Instead, I would suggest trying the long-standing fan favorite Sensi Star.

I’m hesitant because of all the positive reviews that I read on this; my experience was pretty bad, as you can see.

Alternatives

Some good alternatives for the Monkey Glue strain are:

• Sensi Star: A classic indica strain known for its strong, relaxing effects and a sweet, earthy aroma. It usually costs a bit more than Monkey Glue.
• Blue Dream: A popular hybrid strain with a sweet berry aroma, known for its balanced and uplifting effects. It's usually stronger than the batch of Monkey Glue I tried.
• Green Crack: A sativa strain with a fruity and citrusy flavor, known for its energetic and focused effects. It's usually stronger than the batch of Monkey Glue I tried.

In my experience, these strains have better aroma and flavor than Monkey Glue. Potency varies by batch, so check the label.
