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.

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.
