Amazonia
Amazonia is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Master Widow. Its breeding lineage traces back to this specific parent, establishing it as a cultivar that shares its genetic foundation with its parent. The plant requires a moderate level of expertise from cultivators and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period.
The sensory profile of Amazonia is defined by its specific terpene composition, which is led by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, and finished with limonene. These compounds work in tandem to shape the aromatic experience, providing a distinct chemical signature that reflects its hybrid classification. This terpene profile creates a nuanced flavor and scent that remains consistent for those who cultivate the plant in either indoor or outdoor settings.
Users of Amazonia frequently report feelings of being relaxed, happy, and uplifted, making it a THC-dominant cultivar well-suited for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Due to its effective impact, the strain serves as a choice for those seeking relief from these specific conditions. Its genetic legacy is further solidified by the fact that Master Widow is the direct parent of Amazonia, cementing its place as an influential member of its genetic lineage.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
