I’m literally in the 5th dimension I love this shit. Holy fuck. Thank you.

I'm a young guy but am plagued by extreme back pain. While the physio does its thing, this is great back stopping intense back pain in its tracks.

Perfect for relax. I got very high with this.

it's a nice strain...gives you a really nice clearheaded high and it lasts preety long...it has a really nice comfy high :) makes you wanna relax and talk something good with friends

Used in many of the space cakes I’ve eaten in Amsterdam. Nice mellow edible high.

Everything about this strain is exceptional: the smell, the iredescent shimmer in the light, the utter density... The effects are...and then I trailed off.

Easily my favourite.

Lives up to its namesake. Keep walking into rooms forgetting why. I've Kept coming back to it in vape cart form... Was my favorite. Ended up growing some. All that needs to be said. They're not kidding when the sites say ideal for treating mood disorders. Oil is pretty heady and strong flower is a nice in between but leaning to sativa side.

Made me and my best friend super talkative loved it, but it’s terrible for romance, my mind got side tracked to many times. I’d would love to smoke this again on an adventure or around a group of people.

<p>Amnesia OG from Karma Genetics combines two of their famous strains, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/amnesia">Amnesia</a> and <a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/biker-kush">Biker Kush</a>, to produce this sativa-dominant heavy-hitter. Amnesia has won numerous awards and by crossing it with Biker Kush, it creates heavier, full-body effects that pair well with the potent cerebral effects of Amnesia. The flavor profile is both soft and sweet with bubble gum and fruity notes in addition to a spicy, peppery incense flavor. Originally named &ldquo;Where&rsquo;s My Bike,&rdquo; this strain is for experienced consumers looking for a fully encompassing high.&nbsp;</p>


Amnesia OG

<p>A powerful and uplifting flower from <a href="https://www.dinafem.org/en/">Dinafem Seeds</a>, Strawberry Amnesia is a strain made in sativa heaven.&nbsp;Bred from <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/strawberry-cough">Strawberry Cough</a> and <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/amnesia">Amnesia</a>, this strain delivers the familiar sweet strawberry and earthy flavors of its parents.&nbsp;Having the typical energizing and euphoric effects of a sativa, Strawberry Amnesia also induces the calming body high from its distant indica relatives. The dark green buds of Strawberry Amnesia are very dense and heavily coated in resin, so this potent sativa should be handled with caution.&nbsp;</p>

Growers should expect a 9-10 week flowering period with moderate yields. This strain normally has a high THC and low CBD profile and produces intense psychotropic effects that new consumers should be wary of.</p>

<h2 class="heading--l py-md">Romulan</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/romulan/photos"><img class="w-full my-lg" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/cannabis-and-photography-the-best-cannabis-strain-photos-on-leafl/27O3pFRLT3aVgXzrtCeu_romulan__primary_519e-Duffracing111-9.12.2015.jpg" alt="Macro image of &quot;Romulan&quot; cannabis flower on a live plant" width="750px" height="1000px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/romulan">Romulan</a>, named after the alien Star Trek race, is a powerful indica revered for its potent therapeutic qualities. Though mostly indica, Romulan growers insist sativa genetics have crept in over time, lending it intense cerebral effects. These squat, pine-scented plants produce dense frosty buds that have found their following among connoisseurs in B.C. and the Pacific Northwest.</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">King&#8217;s Bread</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/kings-bread/photos"><img class="w-full my-lg" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/cannabis-and-photography-the-best-cannabis-strain-photos-on-leafl/T8YIxxQGinu50cd1liPQ_Kings-Bread.jpg" alt="&quot;King's Bread&quot; dried cannabis flower on a white background" width="750px" height="500px" /></a></p>
<p>Said to be a sativa landrace from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/kings-bread">King’s Bread</a> (or King’s Breath) delivers mellowing and euphoric cerebral effects. Finger-like bulbs reach out from the citrus-scented buds wrapped in crystal trichomes. <a href="http://www.leafly.com/sativa/lamb-s-bread">Lamb’s Bread</a> is counted among its progeny, although King’s Bread’s lineage is not well documented. Pain relief, appetite stimulation, and stress alleviation are just a few of the therapeutic benefits King’s Bread has to offer.</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">Amnesia</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/amnesia/photos"><img class="w-full my-lg" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/cannabis-and-photography-the-best-cannabis-strain-photos-on-leafl/OH7HWWgqQp263oTEgpFs_amnesia__primary_296d-aleignacio-6.13.2015.jpg" alt="&quot;Amnesia&quot; cannabis flower budding on a live plant" width="750px" height="750px" /></a></p>

Skunk, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/cinderella-99">Cinderella 99</a>, and <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/jack-herer">Jack Herer</a> are some of Amnesia’s genetic forerunners, passing on uplifting, creative, and euphoric effects ideal for treating mood disorders. This strain normally has a high THC and low <a href="https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/whats-the-deal-with-these-high-cbd-strains">CBD</a> profile and produces intense psychotropic effects that new consumers should be wary of.</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">Critical Kush</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/critical-kush/photos"><img class="w-full my-lg" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/cannabis-and-photography-the-best-cannabis-strain-photos-on-leafl/kMo60JA2RLGColAC0WiV_critical-kush__primary_eeb0-skinuplad-6.10.2015.jpg" alt="&quot;Critical Kush&quot; cannabis flower budding on a live plant" width="750px" height="701px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/critical-kush">Critical Kush</a> from Barney’s Farm is a mostly indica strain that blends together two famed cannabis staples, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/critical-mass">Critical Mass</a> and <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/og-kush">OG Kush</a>. Aromatic notes of earthiness and spice usher in a calming sensation that relaxes the mind and body. Critical Kush pairs a staggeringly high THC content with a moderate dose of CBD, making this strain a perfect nighttime medication for pain, stress, insomnia, and muscle spasms.</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">Pineapple Chunk</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/pineapple-chunk/photos"><img class="w-full my-lg" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/cannabis-and-photography-the-best-cannabis-strain-photos-on-leafl/aqXcgm7dTlSsYvmlKidN_pineapple-chunk__primary_8b33-Qizo-5.19.2015.jpg" alt="&quot;Pineapple Chunk&quot; cannabis flower budding on a live plant" width="750px" height="987px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/pineapple-chunk">Pineapple Chunk</a>, bred by Barney’s Farm, is an indica-leaning hybrid that induces heavy full-body effects and a fast-paced head buzz. This THC-rich strain combines a <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/cheese">Cheese</a> and Skunk #1 cross with Barney’s <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/pineapple">Pineapple</a>, and you can almost smell its lineage through sour notes of tangy skunk, earthy cheese, and sweet pineapple.</p>

<p>If there&rsquo;s one activity that is truly made better by cannabis, it&rsquo;s eating. We&rsquo;ve all experienced it: every flavor seems new, like you&rsquo;re tasting it for the very first time. The less-than-average cook suddenly become a culinary genius&mdash;who knew granola, vanilla ice cream, and raspberry jam could be so good? Your stomach seems bottomless&mdash;did you really just eat a whole calzone and two slices of chocolate cake?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Though some people may feel disgusted with themselves after a canna-induced feast, others revel in the pure satisfaction of a full stomach. Regardless of the bloat, we&rsquo;d like to take the time to properly honor our favorite herb and our favorite pastime.</p>
<p>So, without further ado, here are three <a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/scientific-explanation-how-marijuana-causes-munchies-180949660/" target="_blank">fun facts</a> about <a href="https://www.leafly.com/news/health/the-science-of-munchies-why-does-cannabis-stimulate-your-appetite">cannabis and eating</a>: &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">1. THC Makes Food Smell and Taste Better</h2>
<p align="center"><img alt="" height="433px" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/3-fun-facts-about-cannabis-and-eating/uGxzccRPSCOcBhqnzHaz_medium_2607537730.jpg" width="650px" /></p>
<p>Apparently, cannabis causes food to smell so good that you just have to eat it. A <a href="http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nn.3647.html" target="_blank">new study</a> published by <em>Nature Neuroscience</em> has found that THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, stimulates the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_bulb" target="_blank">olfactory bulb</a>, or the part of the brain responsible for recognizing scents.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Using mice as test subjects, researchers found that THC molecules fit nicely into receptors on the olfactory blub. The THC supercharged the smell-detecting ability of mice, enticing them to eat more food because the scent was simply irresistible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">2. Cannabis Makes You Love the Experience of Eating</h2>
<p align="center"><img alt="" height="439px" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/3-fun-facts-about-cannabis-and-eating/BqsojkIQgC9G22vpM9ja_medium_4660725556.jpg" width="650px" /></p>
<p>Another <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3705914/" target="_blank">recent study</a> published by <em>Neuropharmacology</em> found that cannabis may cause the relationship between you and your food to become a little more intimate. Eating foods that you like naturally increases dopamine, the pleasure hormone, in your body. Yet, when THC is present, your body receives an extra jolt of dopamine from what you&rsquo;re eating.&nbsp;</p>
<p>THC&rsquo;s ability to make you love your food even more than normal might be connected to the fact that the same compound also allows you to smell and taste food more acutely, meaning everything you taste becomes extra delicious and therefore all the more pleasurable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 class="heading--l py-md">3. THC May Actually Stimulate Hunger</h2>
<p align="center"><img alt="" height="433px" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/3-fun-facts-about-cannabis-and-eating/dzh0hiBSuuSt2Q7kj2Hf_medium_8331606725.jpg" width="650px" /></p>
<p>So far, we&rsquo;ve learned that THC makes food smell better and more pleasurable to eat. Yet, to top things off, <a href="http://www.jbc.org/content/280/26/25196.full" target="_blank">research published</a> in the <em>Journal of Biological Chemistry</em> (JBC) has found that the <a href="https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/cannabinoids-101-what-makes-cannabis-medicine">cannabinoid</a> also increases ghrelin, one of the hormones responsible for creating the sensation of hunger that plays a part in the metabolization of carbohydrates. When THC is present in the body, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22133305" target="_blank">levels of ghrelin increase</a>, causing you to feel hungry and crave carbohydrate-rich substances.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The JBC study also found that cannabinoids, when bound to CB-1 receptors in the hypothalamus, increase activity levels of the enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is the grandmaster for metabolic regulation. It&#039;s the enzyme that transforms glucose and fatty acids into forms that can be used for energy by cells.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Simply stated: THC causes you to feel hungry by releasing hunger-hormones while simultaneously jump-starting your metabolism by stimulating AMPK.</p>
<p>Speaking of jump-starting your metabolism, if you&#039;re interested in pairing cannabis with some serious eating this weekend, here are some high THC strains you can try that&#039;ll get your tummy rumbling:</p>

3 Fun Facts About Cannabis and Eating

The bag appeal of these buds is crazy. Lovely sativa looking pointed nugs,which are so crystaly it almost looks furry. The smell is easy to recognise, which a sour, pungent smell. Sometimes the taste is a bit too sour but overall decent taste. The high is long lasting, making you creative, talkative but relaxed at the same time. A very strong smoke some times makes my heart pump very strongly. The only down side is an almost weed hangover the next day if smoked at night and generally and cant remember very much and lazy the next day.

First time with this strain. Earthy smell and nice dense nugs. Definitely a sativa. Took some on a long day hike and had lots of energy. This strain has one of the clearest highs I've ever known. It takes the pain away but keeps the mind focused on things like conversation and looking at pretty flowers. What I did observe is that I never felt that cerebral takeover- the zoning out and forgetting what I was thinking about or doing. This is some excellent daytime- get er' done flower that is easily my new favorite. Enjoy!

wow...I saw this come to my local dispensory...I follow new strain releases the moment they come out.  This way I can learn and sample in a cost effective manner.

so right away we look to the name. Imnesia.  OK so I'm writing this as free flow thought. You really are like a goldfish forgetting from 1 second to the next. But I think I knew this going in, I can't remember right now.  It's brave of me to smoke such an elusive saliva this time of night. curiosity overcame me once again. 

in the past 40 mins since I smoked I have groomed my beard, taught the dog a command in German, washed my feet and looked up kayak prices.  At the same time I have no recollection of anything that occurred in between.

Body is numb. A bit too much tingling, muscles become simultaneously Flux between deep settling and excitement.

A really intense and hyper euphoric strain.


UPDATE 9/12/16

Yeah, revisited a little I had squirled away.  Still a solid five star.  Great for muscle stiffness, stress and anxiety.  You wont melt but don't expect to do much....

Ammo is the BOMB in the UK.
its usually only around in the Summer! its pungent and rich smelling/tasting and defiantly recommend for an intense high ♥ #TEAMAMNESIA

Here I am with my joint of amnesia. Smoke it the evening, trust me. Start a good film, or a good serie, in a couch or in the bed. Then.... relax. Enjoy the moment of being a potato. In a fucking good way of being a potato. I Love that weed, but  only for the end of the day. (Outdoor)

An uplifting Sativa (like most); it doesn't make you as sleepy and couch-locked as an Indica that is. It's great for stress and even pain (which is awesome!). It does help kick the depressive state I get into sometimes, as well. It has a very pungent smell but tastes earthy, almost like you're smoking a "regular" plant leaf or flower. As a Sativa lover, I recommend this strain to anyone who thinks it may help them.

<p>Skunk #1 is a hybrid strain that has influenced cannabis on a global scale, parenting a horde of <a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#/explore/sort-newest%3Fq=skunk">Skunk crosses</a> since it first bloomed in the late 1970s. Sacred Seed Co.&nbsp;originally bred Skunk #1 using diverse genetics from around the world;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.leafly.com/indica/afghani">Afghani</a>, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/acapulco-gold">Acapulco Gold</a>, and <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/colombian-gold">Colombian Gold</a>&nbsp;varieties converged through an intricate selective breeding process that spanned several generations, and finally the genetic cornerstone of countless cannabis hybrids was born.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The&nbsp;original&nbsp;Skunk #1 gave rise to several&nbsp;variations that<span style="line-height: 1.6em;">&nbsp;were later harvested in the gardens of Sensi Seeds, Dutch Passion, Flying Dutchmen, Nirvana Seeds, and Royal Queen Seeds.</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">&nbsp;As its name suggests, Skunk #1 buds radiate with an aromatic blend of sour </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">skunkines</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">s</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> and subtle </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">eart</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">hy</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> notes. This hybrid offers elevated </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">cr</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">eativity</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> through its </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">high-e</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">nergy</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> buzz, while </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">str</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">ess</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> and </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">appeti</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">te loss</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;"> melt away with Skunk #1&rsquo;s potency.</span></p>


Skunk No. 1

<p>Cinderella 99, otherwise known as C99, or&nbsp;simply &ldquo;Cindy,&rdquo; is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred by Mr. Soul of Brothers Grimm. She&rsquo;s best known for her potent cerebral high, sweet fruity flavors, and epic yields. &nbsp;According to Mr. Soul, C99 was created using seeds found in a Sensi branded 2 gram package of <a href="https://www.leafly.com/sativa/jack-herer">Jack Herer</a> purchased at an Amsterdam coffee shop. &nbsp;Cinderella 99 is very popular with indoor growers because of its short, bushy stature, high yields, short flowering time, and high THC content.&nbsp;Cindy&rsquo;s effects are usually described as dreamy, euphoric, and uplifting.</p>
