What is the Old Amnesia strain?
Old Amnesia is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Old Amnesia is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, a prominent Amsterdam-based seed company with a history dating back to the 1980s. The strain represents a stabilized and refined version of the classic Amnesia Haze, which gained popularity in European coffee shops during the 1990s. Breeders worked to preserve the distinctive cerebral effects and complex flavor profile while improving consistency and reducing the flowering time compared to some original Amnesia phenotypes.
The strain typically produces medium-tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are densely packed with trichomes. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional orange pistils and a generous coating of resin. Old Amnesia is known for its relatively fast flowering time for a sativa-dominant variety, typically finishing in 9-11 weeks indoors. The strain has maintained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its balanced yet potent effects.
Notable characteristics include its complex terpene profile that combines citrus, earthy, and spicy notes with a distinctive haze lineage. The strain has become a staple in many European cannabis markets and has been used as a breeding parent for several other popular varieties. While specific historical documentation is limited, Old Amnesia represents an important stabilized version of the Amnesia genetics that helped define the modern European cannabis scene.
