What is the Amnesia strain?

Amnesia is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its happy effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.

Amnesia is a legendary sativa-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the mid-1990s and quickly became one of the most popular cannabis varieties worldwide. With genetics tracing back to Cinderella 99, Jack Herer, and Skunk, this strain represents a masterful blend of classic cannabis genetics. The strain was reportedly created by American breeder David Paul Watson on the West Coast before being further developed in Amsterdam, where it gained international acclaim. Amnesia typically consists of approximately 70% sativa and 30% indica genetics, giving it the characteristic tall, vigorous growth pattern of sativa strains while retaining some indica structure. The buds are dense, elongated, and generously coated with crystalline trichomes, displaying light green coloration with vibrant orange pistils. What sets Amnesia apart is its distinctive aromatic profile combining earthy, citrus, and slightly spicy notes, creating a complex sensory experience. The strain has won multiple Cannabis Cup awards and became a staple in Amsterdam coffeeshops, earning recognition from High Times magazine as one of the 25 best cannabis varieties of all time. Its popularity stems not only from its potent effects but also from its unique flavor profile that represented a revolution in the cannabis world when it first appeared.
