The Amnesia strain is a popular sativa hybrid that is rumored to have emerged from Amsterdam coffee shops. Different breeders have tackled the Amnesia strain and, therefore, there are a lot of Amnesia varieties in international cannabis markets. The strain's giddy high is powerful enough to induce the giggles and happy hysteria. Amnesia is recommended commonly for daytime use and social situations.
Overview of Amnesia
The Dutch growers claim that the original Amnesia strain is a sativa dominant strain bred with a 70% sativa and 30% indica genetic breakdown. The nugs are long and tapered in typical sativa fashion and should have a seductive coating of resin crystals. The strain's jar appeal enhanced further by its multi-hued green coat and packed hairs.
Amnesia varieties often have an earthy taste punctuated with citrusy sweetness. First-hand reports also note levels of lemon, incense, and spice. Amnesia doesn't have the highest THC content in the pack, but clocks in at a maximum of about 20%. This cannabis strain doesn't have a consistent amount of CBD among its different phenotypes.
Potential Positive Effects of Amnesia
Amnesia's effects are decidedly sativa. Amnesia should make a user feel uplifted, happy, relaxed, giggly, and creative. The strain's sativa buzz eventually translates into a more substantial body stone. Due to the strain's relatively balanced high, most versions of Amnesia strains are reasonably sociable and ideal for sharing. However, due to the strain's contested lineage and the number of variants on the market, Amnesia's effects can vary based on breeder and region.
Potential Negative Effects of Amnesia
The most commonly reported negative effects of Amnesia are dry mouth and red eyes. Paranoia can set in if someone unused to high THC content consumes too much.

Generally, it takes the strain around 65 days to flower when grown indoors. Outdoor plants will be ready to harvest by the end of October.

Where to Find Amnesia
Since Amnesia is an elusive collection of strains loosely fitting a general phenotype, it is difficult to find. Your best bet of finding Amnesia in a dispensary is in the Pacific Northwest, such as Oregon and Washington, or Colorado.
