What is the Jamaican Lambsbread strain?

Jamaican Lambsbread is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and cheese and citrus flavor profile.

Jamaican Lambsbread is a sativa-dominant landrace variety from Jamaica that Bob Marley popularized. This strain is rumored to be a favorite of the late great Bob Marley and is considered an African landrace that has adapted to the Jamaican climate, as cannabis is not native to Jamaica. The strain is believed to be 95% sativa and 5% indica, representing one of the closest examples to a pure landrace sativa available today.

The strain has uniquely-shaped, light green buds that resemble balls of sheep's wool. Lambsbread looks surprisingly unremarkable as it grows with little surface crystallization, but this humble look is deceptive as longtime aficionados rate it in their top 5 all-time favorites. The plant exhibits typical sativa characteristics including slender leaves, wide spacing between nodes, strong disease resistance, and a terpene and cannabinoid profile that's seriously stacked. Culturally, it's deeply woven into Rastafarian culture and holds special historical references, and Steve Lamb later introduced it to the U.S., where he experimented with indica crosses to enhance its genetics.
