Very much a strong tea or herbal like flavor. The CBD makes the hit very smooth so you don’t cough up a lung. Smoking it as I type, and it hits your head pretty good. feel calm and at ease, which is hard to accomplish when you have racing thoughts!! If you’ve played chicago this would be the perfect strain to smoke, super easy to hold.
Jamaican Lion strain
Jamaican Lion effects are mostly energizing.
Jamaican Lion is a high-CBD sativa strain with mildly psychoactive effects that stimulate creativity and focus without the loss of functionality. Its rich genetic background combines Mountain Lion -- a Rock Bud and Lionheart cross -- with a Jamaican sativa known as Yarders. Shadrock, Jamaican Lion’s creator, first brought the strain to California in 2007, where it was distributed to patients by Harborside. Ushered in by a sweet herbal aroma, Jamaican Lion induces mild psychoactivity that carries through despite its low THC content. Sensory perception sharpens as bad moods dull in clear-headed sensations that can be described as simultaneously uplifting and calming. Few strains compare to Jamaican Lion as it eases pain, anxiety, and inflammation without intoxication or mental cloudiness. Its CBD content is highest around week 9 of flowering, but if you’re looking for more of a 1:1 ratio of CBD and THC, Shadrock recommends harvesting at week 8 instead.

Jamaican Lion strain reviews(28)
Simply a magical strain. Jamaican Lion is a Godsend. One of the few times that I can honestly say that I agree with the writeup in the Strain Highlights section entirely. I am giving this strain a 10/10, as I feel that it is perfect. If you have anxiety, it will lift it away with no paranoia. Jamaican Lion will leave you happy and uplifted, all while being able to focus. It feels like my usual manic state has been replaced with a Zen-like euphoria. I feel happy, motivated, and while doing errands was able to stay on-task with great concentration. If you have Depression this will bring your spirits up. I don't think there's any other strain that has managed to do this without causing me to have a slight anxiety attack from feeling so over medicated. Not to mention, the CBD in this Jamaican Lion is quite high! I can actually feel my bones and aching muscles in my legs feeling less inflamed and sore. It feels like I just took 2 ibuprofen's. I don't even get effects like that from Indica's, which is usually why I medicate with high CBD Indica varieties when feeling achy and sore; Usually though, Indica's just knock me out. Almost useless if you are feeling sore upon waking in the morning, right? Well, Jamaican Lion is like being able to enjoy your most pain relieving Indica without passing-out by lunch. Jamaican Lion is a strain that I DEFINITELY recommend you try. No matter what your ailment is I think you will find that Jamaican Lion will find a way to lift your spirits up, and carry your pain away... Ten out of freaking ten. A+
This is a wonderful uplifting but non-anxious sativa. Great for beating the blues on cloudy days and also probably helpful in helping to treat full-on depression (you would use other tools to treat it as well, ideally). And I love that this Sativa has a good bit of CBD in it as well. The buds I tried were 6% CBD and 10% THC. It has a really decent but chill head trippy buzz even with that little THC. I guess I'm trying to say: it's quite euphoric but not in a zippy anxious must do everything at once overwhelming kind of high that I experience with a lot of Sativas and Hybrids. The taste and smell are sweet and tropical and a little skunky. I love it!
This gave me the best I've ever had. Right off the bat my body felt light and happy. My arms felt sorta tingly but my whole body was relaxed almost instantly. My mind felt clear and ready to focus on whatever I threw at it. It wasn't foggy or an "oh shit I'm really high" kind of high, and I smoked quite a bit (out of a bong). I just felt very at ease and SUPER confident and open minded and was totally anxiety free. I've been looking for a strain to help me with anxiety and this is it. I smoked this about 4-5 hours before I went to bed and woke up with a head ache, that could have been from the weed or just me in general cause headaches are common for me but that's the only thing I could pin point that I didn't like and I don't even know if it was from the weed. I will definitely be getting this again soon.
First time ever trying it. i have arthritis and i am in pain everyday all day. It gave me the sensation of being on a cloud. i was pain free for 2 hours. I usually wake up during the night and i feel tired the next morning, I was a ble to sleep all night. i am glad i tried it.
I got the CBD variant from Starbuds Kelowna. This stuff works very, very well on pain. It handled my breakthrough pain like a champ, and helped a bit with my sore back too. Head-wise, it's a clear-headed high; you don't have to worry about being clouded on this stuff unless you take a high dose. It did make me a little anxious when I smoked a lot of it in one sitting, but that's easily avoided by smoking less! You don't need a lot with this stuff. The nose is very nice. It smells like lemons and sweet bread with earthy tones. It tastes basically how it smells.
Very herbal and sweet. At times I taste tropical fruit, the next moment it's some kind of exotic tobacco flavour. It is an uplifting high that can put you in 'The Zone'. Focus, creativity. Wonderful daytime varietal.
High CBD, great for anxiety. Leaves a little of a buzzy feeling, but it fades after half an hour or so, then leaves you relaxed so you can get things done. 10/10 would recommend.
High CBD! This is the best medical strain I've used. An excellent medical smoke. Quickly takes away moderate pain, anxiety, etc for hours with only a mild "high" that fades after 30 minutes to leave behind a relaxed, completely functional feeling. Highly recommend as a day smoke. Best results (medically) are by vape; smoked is more intoxicating. Dose is easy to titrate, take as little or as much as you need. A good novice strain with little paranoia and mild psychoactivity. I medicate during the day and this is what I use. This is a very mild strain. Regular medicators will get used to the "buzz".
This stuff does wonders on pain. It handles my breakthrough pain like a champ and keeps my baseline lower. It's a very clear-headed high; you don't have to worry about being non-functional on this stuff unless you take too high of a dose. I got a little bit anxious when I smoked too much, so I wouldn't recommend it for someone with anxiety.
