About GG4
GG4, formerly known as Gorilla Glue #4, is one of the most famous modern cannabis strains, bred by GG Strains in Nevada. The name comes from the extraordinary resin production that makes the buds feel like they are glued together and literally glues scissors and trimming shears together during harvest. The high is powerfully euphoric and sedative.

The Story & Lineage Origin
GG4 was created by GG Strains (Josiah, Maria, and Matt) in Nevada around 2014. The strain took the American cannabis scene by storm, winning the 2014 Los Angeles Cannabis Cup and Nevada Cannabis Cup.
Its extraordinary resin production made it ideal for hash and concentrate production, amplifying its popularity. The name was changed to "Original Glue" after a trademark dispute with Gorilla Glue Company.
