Zhirley Temple

Zhirley Temple is an indica-dominant hybrid created by the multi-state operator Cresco. Its genetic lineage is a three-way cross involving Purple Punch, Zkittlez, and Animal Cookies. While some sources incorrectly categorize the lineage as a cross of (Purple Punch x Zkittlez) followed by Animal Cookies, the breeder specifies the cross as Purple Punch x (Zkittlez x Animal Cookies).

The strain is named for its resemblance to the classic mocktail, offering a fragrance profile defined by sugary sweetness, berries, and citrus. This sweetness is contrasted by a distinct, dank undertone of diesel and chemical notes. Reported effects are characterized by a slow onset, beginning with a cerebral sensation that gradually descends through the body. Users often describe a state of deep, stoned bliss that is both calming and sedating. Due to the potential for couch-lock, it is generally recommended for late afternoon or evening use when the goal is relaxation.
