Amnesia is a classic Sativa-dominant hybrid known for its relatively high THC content up to 24%. It has lovely earthy flavours and a sweet fruity aroma reminiscent of lemons, oranges or perhaps mangos. It has a pleasant appearance and has a color that is a mixture of lime and khaki. Hairs and crystals are common inside the bud.
Its genetics originate from the Jamaican Landrace and South Asian strains. It won the first place in the Cannabis Cup 2014 and the Sativa Cup 2012. Since then, it has been commonly available in coffee shops in Amsterdam.
Amnesia has very strong effects that hit after ten to 15 minutes of smoking it. Its buzz is generally described as relaxed, happy, energetic and uplifting. As such it is good for treating stress, anxiety, depression or easing pain, especially headaches. It can also be used for relieving nausea and migraine.
As a classic strain, it is a genetic forerunner for many other strains such as Amnesia Haze, Amnesia Lemon, Sour Amnesia etc.
