Shark Shock, also known as Great White Shark and Peacemaker, is an indica-dominant strain of cannabis with THC levels between 12% and 21%. Shantibaba developed the strain (cultivar) while working at Greenhouse Seeds in the 1990s by crossing parent plants White Widow with Skunk #1. Shark Shock may be useful for managing chronic pain, nausea, stress, anxiety, and depression.
The strain is approximately 80% indica and 20% sativa and has been reported as producing rapid and intense cerebral highs that sometimes turn euphoric, followed by physical relaxation. The scent has been described as sweet, skunky, and citrus-like, and a fruity taste with sweet, skunky, pungent, earthy, fruity, and citrus-like flavors.
Some users also describe it as garlicky. Shark Shock has won numerous awards, including the High Times Cannabis Cup (Bio) award in 1997.
