MK Ultra is a indica-leaning cannabis strain with a sweet pine, earthy diesel, sandalwood undertone profile, 18-23% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene. It is best known for deep evening, the customer who wants the heaviest indica on the menu, with effects setting in fast, 3 minutes, classic OG body slam. Terp Bros NYC stocks MK Ultra-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
MK Ultra is typically reported as a indica-leaning experience: deep evening, the customer who wants the heaviest indica on the menu. Onset is fast, 3 minutes, classic OG body slam. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
MK Ultra is built on a dominant terpene stack of myrcene, caryophyllene, limonene, which together produce the sweet pine, earthy diesel, sandalwood undertone aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Myrcene
In MK Ultra specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Caryophyllene
In MK Ultra specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Limonene
In MK Ultra specifically, limonene contributes mood-elevating, clear-headed euphoria, daytime-friendly.
Lineage + Genetics
MK Ultra traces back to OG Kush crossed with G13, with a documented origin story rooted in TH Seeds, early 2000s, named for the CIA mind-control program, multiple Cannabis Cup winner for sheer potency. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
one of the few strains where we genuinely warn first-time customers, MK Ultra hits like a brick wall, and we have had returning customers tell us their first attempt at it knocked them out before dinner. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try MK Ultra in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is MK Ultra a daytime or evening strain? Yes for most customers. MK Ultra's myrcene + caryophyllene terpene dominance combined with the indica-leaning lineage makes it one of our requested evening strains. Pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for full evening wind-down support.
Does MK Ultra cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. MK Ultra contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding), limonene (mood-elevating) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of MK Ultra? MK Ultra typically tests in the 18-23% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is MK Ultra safe for first-time cannabis customers? MK Ultra is one of the friendlier strains for first-time customers because the body-heavy effect tends to be physically grounding rather than anxiety-provoking. Start with a small dose, and have a low-key evening plan, this is not a strain for active social settings.
