Amnesiac
Top flavors
Amnesiac effects are mostly calming.
Amnesiac is a modern hybrid-sativa strain developed through the deliberate crossbreeding of Neville's Haze and Super Silver Haze. This variety is consistently sought after for its agricultural performance, capable of thriving in both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which maintains a moderate level of cultivation difficulty and reaches full maturity after a 70-day flowering period. Its genetic influence is notable within the industry, as it serves as the parent strain for the development of CBD Medi Kush.
The biochemical profile of Amnesiac is characterized by a complex terpene sequence starting with myrcene as the primary dominant component, followed by pinene, limonene, beta-pinene, caryophyllene, guaiol, bisabolol, camphene, and finally terpinolene. This specific arrangement of volatile compounds dictates the strain's sensory expression, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor experience rooted in its sativa-leaning lineage. These terpenes work in concert to define the profile throughout the drying and curing process, ensuring a nuanced sensory palate that remains consistent with its heavy Haze ancestry.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Amnesiac is engineered to elicit effects that are primarily creative, uplifted, and euphoric. These physiological outcomes make the strain particularly well-suited for users seeking to enhance focus during tasks requiring creative output or those looking for a conducive environment for social interactions. The strain’s reputation for supporting an uplifted mental state while maintaining functional clarity aligns with its intended use cases, solidifying its standing as a versatile hybrid for individuals prioritizing mental engagement.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
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.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
