Great White Shark (also known as Peacemaker or Shark Shock) is a legendary, award-winning indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain recognized for its intense, fast-acting physical relief and heavy resin production. Bred originally by the renowned Greenhouse Seeds in the 1990s, it famously won first place at the 1997 High Times Cannabis Cup. It is heavily relied upon by medical marijuana patients as a potent “heavy hitter” for nighttime symptom management
Chronic Pain Management: Highly regarded for its strong analgesic properties, it provides a numbing “body stone” that helps patients manage severe nerve pain, arthritis, and migraines without heavy pharmaceuticals.
Insomnia & Sleep Disturbances: Due to its heavy indica-leaning sedation, it serves as an excellent evening tool to help patients quiet a restless body and drift into deep sleep.
Stress & Anxiety Relief: The rapid rush of initial euphoria acts like a circuit breaker for racing thoughts, wrapping the user in a state of tranquil mental detachment.
Appetite Loss & Nausea: It strongly triggers hunger cues, making it valuable for individuals undergoing medical treatments that suppress appetite.
More about this strain: Great White Shark
The folks at Greenhouse Seeds crossed their award-winning White Widow, a mix of Brazilian and South Indian indica, with Super Skunk to get another award winner: Great White Shark, also called Peacemaker.
Great White Shark is 80% indica and has strong relaxation and pain relief effects that linger, according to the breeder. This strain tests at 14.9% THC and 0.81% CBD. Other sources online say the buds have an earthy, fruity, spicy flavor profile.
The strain won second place in Bio at the High Times’ Cannabis Cup in 1997, second place in Best Cannabis at the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1997, and first place in Hydro-Seedbanks at the Highlife Cup in 2005.
