Amnesia is a sativa-dominant cultivar whose celebrated pedigree blends Cinderella 99, Jack Herer and Skunk, with roots that reach back to Jamaican landrace and South Asian stock. In cultivation it typically finishes in roughly ten to eleven weeks and rewards careful growers with a heavy, resinous yield. The buds display a lime to dark green coloration, thick with hairs and a crystalline sparkle, a visual cue to its vigorous sativa lineage and its broad popularity, including a long association with Amsterdam’s coffee shop scene.
Its flavors ride an earthy base with a bright citrus lift, evoking lemon and orange zest while subtle notes of pine and sweetness mingle in the background. The aroma mirrors this citrus-tinged profile, underscored by diesel, earth, and a pungent, sour edge that lingers on the palate and in the air.
THC content runs high, up to about 24 percent, and effects hit quickly, with a ten to fifteen minute onset that can bring a potent, energizing head rush. The experience is commonly described as creative, euphoric and uplifting, often sharpening mood and focus while delivering a noticeable body bite. Beyond recreation, Amnesia is used to ease anxiety, depression and stress, and it may help with chronic pain, nausea and migraines, among other conditions, all while leaning the plant toward a 70 percent Sativa and 30 percent Indica balance that favors a lively daytime profile.
