Jamaican landraces are truly special. There is a certain degree of gooey/stickiness that is a rare encounter now a days. Jamaican weed was somewhat prevalent in my area 15 years ago or so, and I sure do miss it. The only downside is the headaches at times.For that reason, im knocking down 1 star from the rating. For that, I'm removing one star. Good herb for all Sumner related activities.

I struggle with frequent chronic migraines and fatigue associated with them, most strains I’ve smoked are good for general pain relief, but none come nowhere near as good as “Jamaican Pineapple Nimbus” for me. I’m assuming Jamaican Pineapple Nimbus is a phenotype of the broad Jamaican Landraces since it doesn’t have its own page here on Leafly. I bought two 1/8ths, each pack had dry, dense and sticky buds. If you didn’t mind your fingers getting sticky, it could crumble apart in your hand with little effort. I had to be careful how much I put in my grinder at once otherwise it would grind too fine. It leaves behind a LOT of kief as well; the kief collector in my grinder dominantly smells like Jamaican Pineapple. Upfront it smells like citrus-sour pineapple gummy bears with a subtle earthy undertone. When smoked, spicy-earthy notes come upfront on the inhale, and leaves a sweet and sour-candy like earthy tone aftertaste on the exhale. Normally with my migraines, they don’t fully go away after smoking- but the pain becomes more manageable. With Jamaican Pineapple, I forgot I was even having a migraine. After smoking, my energy levels were higher... I actually felt awake, the pounding headache was heading out the door but not quite gone yet, my mind was clear and my thought process was fluid instead of foggy and slow. Jamaican Pineapple is tied for my favorite/go-to Sativa with Matanuska Thunder Fuck/Matanuska Tundra. Both JP and MTF are strains with unique terpene profiles that seem to have strong medicinal properties for treatment against migraines. If you struggle with migraines, I recommend trying JP or MTF.

Uplifting without inducing a panic attack (that I normally get from sativa strains, usually surrounding things I've neglected, but did not happen to me with this strain). Too, it lit a fire under my butt, so-to-speak, motivating me to get up & do stuff -- I could not sit still (even after the high left me!) -- my laundry was done & house was clean before the day was done. Nice strain; will buy again.

Love this strain. Inexpensive from Herb Approach. It is mild and uplifting. Perfect for getting down to desk work like writing or planning, going for a walk in the sunshine, and listening to music. No munchies or cotton mouth either. Really happy if found this.

I've loved Jamaican since I was young. This is the stuff that made life worth living and got me through HS. Great giggly weed. Original strain! Sometimes gives a body hallucinogenic effect that might not be good for driving.

This Cannabis from Jamaica is really called YARDAS. Same meaning different spellings. This grade gives a magnificent uplifting feeling that only Jah Jah Could provide. Long lasting but not dragging.🤙🏾™️

After legalization in Canada we went to Jamaica on a vacation. was very excited to try some illegal grass again 😂. Found some from the locals on the resort and I have to say I'm oddly impressed with this stuff. It wasn't the strongest I'd ever smoked by any stretch, it smelled rather terrible and the taste left a lot to be desired but the buzz was all positive. a great sativa high that let you enjoy whatever you decided to do. No locking feeling what so ever, however relaxing was easy. Music sounded better, drinks tastes better and it was just straight good vibes. The only way to describe it was it was a very Jamaican experience. Despite the smell and taste I smoked that shit like it was oxygen and enjoyed Jamaica the way it should be
