GG5, also known as "Gorilla Glue #5," "New Glue," and "Gorilla Glue 5," is a hybrid marijuana strain developed by GG Strains. GG5 is a potent cross of Sister Glue (GG1) and Original Glue (GG4). True to its name, the effects of GG5 are known to leave its consumer feeling “glued” to the couch in a deep state of relaxation. With a strong diesel flavor, GG5 delivers stupefying effects that are reported to be heavier than either parent strain, so patients looking for a good sleep aid, muscle relaxant, or pain reliever should keep this one on their radar. Because of the high potency of GG5, this strain is best reserved for experienced cannabis consumers. According to growers, GG5 grows as a branchy plant with large and frosty buds that appear vivid green.

Blue roots in WA calls it blue glue. Fitting because it seems to have a pearlescent blue over the green. Very frosty bright nugs scream “I’m sticky!”. Smell is mouthwatering of stinky chocolate skunkiness. Taste is chocolate hash. Effects are heavy relaxation with a big scoop of euphoria. Creativity is definitely there. Excellent for gaming. I recommend myself to get it again.

OMG this is a wham bam thank you ma'am strain. We smoke a lot. Like... a lot. This fucks us up. It puts me to sleep every single time, but it's a longggg high, so sleep doesn't come right away which I love. When we don't have a lot of money and need to get a bang for our buck, this is what I buy.

Having tried GG1 and GG4 several times, I was surprised to find out much different Gorilla Glue #5 was to its predecessors. The genetic makeup of this plant truly speaks wonders to its character, with Chem's Sister and Chocolate Diesel already raining strong in the THC levels. The buds were of small and mid range, but packing a tight flower exterior, almost like holding slightly softer Moon Rocks. The flavor is 100% as described, with the word "pungent" being almost an understatement. In person, I would describe this to be along the level of a wet, planty, earthy, tang that sort of leaves you wondering if the exhale will be similar. Upon cracking open the flower, the smell of tangy/fuel/sweet completely engrossed the previous smells, making for a delightful adventure for my nostrils. This reminded me almost of a diesel type strain, but I could tell it wasn't. Smoking the flower via Raw Papers, the flavor of the tangy earth really soaked through, leaving a nice aftertaste full of earthy yumminess. Halfway through my 1 gram joint, I debated putting it out because the high was beginning to set in at a pace that was unexpected. However, I noticed that it never creeped over the silver lining into the realm of "too high", so I kept on keeping on. At the end of my 1 gram joint, I sat down to write this review and felt extra-stimulated in wanting to write a descriptive review. It was almost as if my memory of just-passed events was stronger. Not overstimulating. A floaty body high with a similar "bloated" head feeling; which is sort of warm and nice to me, honestly. Ready to hop on YouTube and fall into a hole of videos until I get bored. Could possibly hop on the train and catch some sort of food and wine festival. Even wouldn't mind if a friend stopped by for a chill session. Feel like I could focus if the topic was interesting enough, I wouldn't consider myself to be too high to function socially. Although, looking in the mirror, I do look high. No red eyes. Could be my tolerance. Anyway, I could go either way with this one. Don't feel too lazy, don't feel too energized. A good, classic, well rounded high. I would definitely recommend GG5 to anyone who's looking to unwind, for any lifestyle.
