Gorilla Glue, GG4 and Original Glue: checking the name
Gorilla Glue, Gorilla Glue #4, GG4 and Original Glue appear across archive and commercial naming records, but a familiar alias does not identify the exact item supplied.
Why this name needs care
The cited cultivar and naming records support these names as aliases associated with the same cultivar. That relationship can reconcile older notes, but it does not show that two prescribed products, batches or formulations are clinically or chemically equivalent.
Name map
The evidence status stays visible. A reported name is not silently treated as a confirmed equivalent.
| Name form | Evidence status | Relationship |
|---|---|---|
| Gorilla Glue | historical name | same cultivar name |
| Gorilla Glue #4 | supported alias | same cultivar name |
| GG4 | supported alias | same cultivar name |
| Original Glue | supported alias | same cultivar name |
What to check on the actual label
A strain name alone is not enough to identify a prescribed product. Compare the current paperwork rather than relying on an older article, photograph or familiar name.
- the exact product and manufacturer name
- the formulation or flower presentation
- the stated THC and CBD content
- the batch or dispensing details
- the expiry date, directions and supplied warnings
Cultivar background and archived review
MCPH keeps this page focused on patient interpretation. View the Gorilla Glue #4 cultivar and archive profile on strains.cc.
Strains is the non-clinical reference surface. Its cultivar descriptions and archived observations are not prescribing advice and cannot predict an individual patient response.
Questions for the clinic or pharmacy
- Is this the exact item prescribed?
- Which label fields identify its strength, form and batch?
- Who should I contact if the prescription, label or supplied item differs?
Do not alter a prescribed dose or substitute a product from the name alone.
