Amnesia is a variety of cannabis which arrived on the Californian market in the middle of the Nineties. Since then it invades the rest of the world for the happiness of cannabis consumers.
This particular hemp plant has become a family in itself. Indeed, it is declined today in numerous varieties such as: Amnesia Haze, Amnesia Lemon, the Original Amnesia and even the
Amnesia CBD
. Each of these types of cannabis have their own effects, tastes and smell. But, they possess the main qualities of Amnesia: the originality and the power of its effects and its organoleptic attributes, its facility of culture and its atypical output.
Amnesia Haze, the star of the shops
Amnesia is one of the most popular varieties of cannabis. For a plant with dominance sativa it is even considered as being the best. As a result, it has to meet a high demand.
In Amsterdam, the legislation allows it, it is found with different variants (haze, Lemon, CBD, …) offering a commendable choice to consumers.
Winning numerous awards, she crowned herself “Queen of the coffee shops”:
- the 2nd prize in the category “Sativa” at the Copa Cannazores 2016
- 2nd prize in the “Sativa” category at the 2014 Treating Yourself Cup in Toronto
- the 1st prize in the category “Sativa” at the Expogrow 2012, in Irun
The world market then took hold of this variety by marketing it in the form of various products:
- flowers, herbal tea, resin, seeds of collection, liquids to vapoter…
Obviously, except for the seeds of collection and the “seeds oil”, in France, the products found on the legal market are only composed of Amnesia CBD.
General information on the Amnesia variety
What characterizes an Amnesia plant the most is its power. Indeed, this term defines its effects, its organoleptic properties, its cultivation (from seed to flowering) and its yield.
The effects of Amnesia
The general effect of Amnesia is characteristic of a sativa: euphoriant.
But attention, in spite of an average content of THC (approximately 20%), the feeling is very strong and this, from the beginning of the absorption. It is not a plant that leaves itself desired. It acts with intensity and lasts over time. Some consumers who abuse it even talk about temporary and brief amnesia. Particularity that gave it its name!
Organoleptic qualities of Amnesia
Its taste has a great aromatic profile:
- a subtle mixture of pine, spices and incense drawing on lemony notes typical of a Haze. Bewitchment and originality guaranteed!
Its smell is sweet and earthy with fruity notes mixing strength and freshness.
Amnesia, a sativa with the paces of indica
The way of culture and the behaviour of this species of cannabis sativa are typically those of an indica:
- fast growth and flowering: on average 9 weeks for an optimal flowering
- robust
- very good yield: 500 to 1500g per m2 depending on the outdoor or indoor growing method
- medium size: 120cm to 350cm depending on the indoor or outdoor growing method
- large, compact, resin-filled flowers
This variety of cannabis gives good results of culture without needing to be pampered. In a temperate climate, it is naturally resistant to mold and other pests. Moreover, it is not too greedy in fertilizer. The simplicity of its culture and the quality of its harvest made develop the market of seeds of Amnesia under cover of “seeds of collection”. They are also very suitable for a beginner grower who is looking for a thrill!
The law around Amnesia
If the consumption as well as the marketing of classic Amnesia (not CBD) in France are illegal it is because of the presence of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). It is indeed well above the threshold of 0.2% tolerated of this psychotropic substance. This grass is however widely found on the French black market or in Amsterdam where its consumption is decriminalized.
Mainly smoked in a joint, its
flowers
(“weed” or “weed”.) can also be consumed in a vaporizer or in an herbal tea. Its seeds can also be eaten for their flavors but, more and more, for their antioxidant virtues: roasted in a salad or in the form of seeds oil. Devoid of THC but containing CBD, they are legal in France and in many countries open to CBD.
Amnesia CBD
Since the beginning of this text on this super “weed”, we can read the term “CBD” here and there. But in fact, what is CBD?
CBD
If THC is not to be introduced anymore, CBD or cannabidiol, is the second active substance (cannabinoids) contained in cannabis. In France, its sale is tolerated thanks to a legal vagueness distinguishing this molecule from its prohibited psychoactive cousin. Its relaxing benefits are more and more confirmed (testimonies, clinical tests…). As a result, ofor the past few years, they have given him a certain notoriety that is constantly growing.
The effects of CBD Amnesia
This variety of Amnesia is called “CBD”:
- on the one hand, for its extraordinary cannabidiol content: up to 7% for natural plants
- on the other hand, to legally differentiate themselves from their sisters.
Indeed, this sativa, close relative of Haze, is legal in France and in many countries (Switzerland, Belgium…) because it contains little or no THC.
Like a classic Amnesia, its effect is original and powerful. Despite the absence of psychoactive substance, it is advised not to abuse it because its action is :
- deep and long-lasting in the body
- cerebrally stimulating
- disproportionate to its cannabidiol concentration.
Its effects are highly sought after for therapeutic purposes (relaxation) but also for cerebral purposes (positivism). It is thus ideal to fight against insomnia and anxiety without providing amnesia, even temporary.
Organoleptic qualities of Amnesia CBD
Its unique taste is intense and delicate at the same time. It includes these small notes of lemon, typical of Haze, and orange, of the varieties CBD. Its earthy, fruity and slightly sweet smell becomes stronger as it is absorbed and creates a bewitching atmosphere. 
The culture of the Amnesia CBD
Like all the Amnesia, its growth is rather fast for a sativa. It is of medium size and its flowers are thick and dense. The opinions to cultivate it are unanimous:
- by starting from a very simple feminized seed of a shop (like
dinafem seeds
), we obtain a super output without too much effort!
The products resulting from the Amnesia CBD
The diversity of products containing Amnesia CBD and therefore its modes of consumption are increasingly vast:
- flowers: cigarette, vaporizer, infusion, inhaler
-
oils
sublingual application, sprays, herbal teas, cooking, cosmetics - liquids for electronic cigarettes)
- crystals: cigarette, vaporizer, cooking, cosmetics
- resins: cigarette, vaporizer, infusion, inhaler
- seeds : cooking, cosmetics
- …
If Amnesia remains a star among many others, it is well for its organoleptic, corporal and cerebral uniqueness. It is a powerful herb on all levels. It also delights a large number of marijuana users. The new CBD line of this variety of cannabis had then no risk to be born.
This feminized strain of Amnesia has indeed been able to preserve all the qualities that make this plant one of the best. On the other hand, they do not have the dangers of the traditional versions with THC. The latter being particularly active in this variety, it generates all too often powerful “cerebral highs” that can lead to paranoia.
