Lebanese is a pure landrace indica whose lineage is undocumented, standing as a primary foundational variety within its geographic origin. This strain is widely credited to the centuries-old tradition of resin production in the region, serving as a pillar for diverse breeding projects. As an easy-to-grow cultivar suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, it maintains a moderate growth cycle, reaching maturity in approximately 56 days and yielding a medium harvest.

The chemical profile of Lebanese is dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene as secondary and tertiary components. These terpenes define the sensory experience, grounding the aromatic profile in its distinct landrace characteristics. With a cannabinoid profile that is THC-dominant, the strain tests at approximately 20.6% THC, reflecting a profile that informs its specific psychoactive delivery.

Users typically report effects that are relaxed and sleepy, making the strain an appropriate choice for addressing stress, sleep irregularities, and anxiety. The genetic footprint of Lebanese is extensive, as evidenced by its presence in the lineage of numerous offspring including Cinderellas, Calvin, Chronicle, HiNoon, Moroccan Beldia Kif, Morocco x Lebanon, NLB, First Sativa, Grapefruit Sativa, and KM x Lebanese x Royal Kush. Its stability has ensured its continued usage as a genetic donor for contemporary medicinal and recreational applications.

too much couch lock for my taste

Heard about this legendary landrace and had to try it. The body high was super heavy, way too sedating if you're trying to do anything. Good for total chill out, but not for just hanging with friends.

This stuff is seriously chill. Got a gram from a specialty dispensary, smoked a small bowl before bed, and it cleared my head of all the day's stress. Slept like a baby, no tossing and turning, woke up refreshed.
