Amnesia : origins and characteristics of a legendary variety

Amnesia : origins and characteristics of a legendary variety

Amnesia is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic CBD flowers of our
times. Mama invites you to discover this legendary variety.

The origins ofAmnesia

The Amnesia variety appeared in the 90s. It is mainly
derived from the genetic lines of the Haze family, a group of varieties recognized
for their predominantly Sativa characteristics.

More specifically, the Amnesia variety is the result of crossing several
strains. These include Jack Herer (a Sativa strain), Enemy Of The State and
Skunk (a hybrid).

Amnesia was a great success, especially in the Netherlands, where it was
available in the country's best coffee shops. For consumers of
CBD, this variety remains a benchmark.

In hemp cultivation, the Amnesia variety is often used
to create new, more potent hybrids. By blending the
Sativa-dominant properties ofAmnesia with hybrid or Indica strains,
growers can develop a wide range of effects and
chemical compositions.

The combination of the best genetic traits of its ancestors makesAmnesia
a variety apart in the world of CBD. It's not for nothing that it has
become, and continues to be, so popular. In fact, it has won
several times in competitions such as the High Times Cannabis Cup.

Amnesia features

One of its predominant characteristics is its rich genetic heritage. It is mainly derived from Sativa, which gives it its stimulating and creative effects (more on this later). But it also has Indica traits, which provide a touch of relaxation.

Anatomically,Amnesia shares many of the
characteristics typical of cannabis plants. However, there are some unique features that distinguish it from other strains. Its nodes (the places on the stem where the
secondary branches, leaves and flowers emerge) are well spaced. This
improves air circulation and light absorption. All
elements essential for good bud growth.
l'Amnesia 's flowers are compact and its calyxes rather prominent.

As for its aromatic profile, here again it's distinctive yet subtle. You
will find bright, zesty citrus notes (reminiscent of
lemon or lime). ButAmnesia also has spicy notes on an earthy
base.

In some variants ofAmnesia, you'll be able to detect a few floral notes
which add a little sweetness to the whole.

Its potential effects

I now invite you to discover the potential effects of the Amnesia variety. I
speak of potential effects because no study has been able to formally prove the effects of
CBD. What's more, its effects vary from person to person, depending on your sensitivity, your
morphology and other factors.

Amnesia CBD has been specially cultivated to contain a high concentration of
CBD and a negligible amount of THC, meaning it lacks the typical psychoactive
effects associated with high THCAmnesia .


Psychoactive effects: Unlike the THC-rich version,Amnesia
CBD does not induce feelings of intense euphoria or spontaneous laughter.
It does not cause accelerated thought flow or marked elevation of
mood. Instead, it provides a feeling of relaxation and well-being
without altering the mind or concentration.


Physical effects:Amnesia CBD is valued for its relaxing effects
which help to ease muscle tension and relax the body. It can
be useful for relieving mild pain, but without the deep
analgesic effects associated with THC.

AlthoughAmnesia CBD offers potential benefits, it is still recommended
to use it with caution, as it can cause mild side effects
in some people, such as a dry mouth sensation. On the other hand,
it does not cause short-term memory loss, contrary to what its
name might suggest when confused with the THC version.


If you notice the slightest undesirable effect while taking the product, take a break. If
doesn't help, consult a health professional. In all cases, Mama recommends that you discuss the subject of CBD with your doctor (or another
health professional), especially if you're taking medication. There may be
certain contraindications.
