Great White Shark, sometimes called Peacemaker or White Shark within the cannabis community, is an indica-dominant hybrid created from a robust cross of Super Skunk, Brazilian, and South Indian strains. Its potency is reflected in a THC window that commonly spans the mid-teens to the low twenties. This lineage and strength helped it rise to prominence when it won the 1997 High Times Cannabis Cup for Best Hybrid, a marker of its enduring appeal.
The high unfolds with an almost immediate cerebral lift that can feel heady or hazy at first. A warming, body-wide buzz follows, easing tension and allowing pain to recede as the mind relaxes.

Clinically, it’s used for chronic pain, muscle spasms, anxiety and stress, and mood-related concerns, while also delivering a lift in mood, creativity, and euphoria for many users.
