Jamaican Lion

Imagine being able to ease pain instantly without having to give up your mental clarity or productivity to do so. This award-winning blend of Mountain Lion (Rock Bud x Lionheart) and a rich Jamaican sativa called Yarders gives you just that. The creators at Shadrock had gifted this psychoactive strain to Californians over a decade ago for its strong medicinal benefits and it has remained the second best overall CBD strain in the state ever since.

In contrast with its low THC content, Jamaican Lion boasts incredibly high CBD levels ranging from 13% to 18% which gives users the ultimate body high without loss of functionality. These mossy green, oblong nugs took home the second place prize in the 2011 San Francisco Cannabis Cup for CBD percentage and overall appeal. Any wonder why this plant receives such high praise everywhere it goes will be washed away when you catch a whiff of its sweet, herbal scent and taste the refreshing spearmint and lemon zing that dances on your taste buds.

Users love this strain for its ability to wash away negativity, uplifting the mood, and leaving behind a happy, albeit flighty, disposition. It is known for clearing one’s mental slate, opening space for a focused and creative energy to take the place of daily stresses. Users can expect an initial tingle and a slow rush of heaviness as the CBD works its way around your system. After you’ve settled into your new state, enjoy the airiness of the high as it continues throughout the day.

Medicinally, this strain is a wonder. For those who suffer from chronic pain, aches, or muscle spasms Jamaican Lion is known to ease these ailments after just minimal use. Its rich genetics give this bud a wide spectrum of applications. Because sensory perception sharpens and thoughts become uplifted and clarified, this strain is perfect for anyone suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder.

For maximum CBD development, experts recommend letting this purple and green plant to flower for 9 full weeks before harvest. If you are more interested in a 1:1 CBD/THC, breeders suggest an 8-week harvest. At full bloom, this plant gives off a rich, grassy aroma and can give an above average yield both indoors or out. Novice growers take note, as this is an easy plant with a pair of more experienced hands to help you get started from seed.

When you suffer from chronic pain, depression, or other ailments that cause you day in and day out struggles, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But consider this: someone has created a bud that offers relief from those conditions without taking away your ability to function. In fact, it even boosts your ability to get things done! Users consider Jamaican Lion to be the perfect strain and it’s easy to see why.
