Amsterdams' Magic
Amsterdams' Magic is a modern hybrid strain derived from the parent cultivar Magic Autumn. As a significant development in contemporary breeding, the strain has gone on to serve as a genetic contributor to notable offspring, including the Amsterdam Plant and its own progenitor, Magic Autumn. Cultivators can expect a moderate level of difficulty when managing this plant, which produces a high yield after a flowering period of 65 days. It is versatile in its requirements, performing well in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The terpene profile of Amsterdams' Magic is dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene as secondary and tertiary components. These compounds create a distinct sensory experience that defines the strain’s chemical footprint. Because the profile is THC-dominant, the aromatic and flavor nuances are closely tied to the physiological impact, providing a balanced baseline of botanical characteristics that remain consistent across its development.
Users of Amsterdams' Magic typically report effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for assistance with sleep. Beyond its immediate utility for consumers, the strain remains an influential piece of modern genetics, cemented by its established role in the further diversification of the Amsterdam Plant and Magic Autumn lineages.

spicy
●●○○
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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
