The LSD strain is a cross of Mazar-I-Sharif and Skunk No.1, bred by Barneys Farm. It is a hybrid strain that inherits a lot from its latter parent.

This week I sat down with my bong and a sample of some UK-grown LSD to jot down my thoughts exclusively for the ISMOKE channel.

Strain Summary

The LSD strain, also known as LSD OG or L.S.D., is a perfectly balanced hybrid strain, with a 50% Sativa and 50% Indica composition, deriving from a cross between the legendary strains Mazar-I-Sharif and Skunk No. 1. This strain stands out for its notable THC content, ranging from 21.4% to 23.8%, and CBD levels between 0.67% and 0.91%, making it a potent choice for both recreational and medical users. Dominated by the terpene valencene, LSD offers a unique flavor profile that combines earthy and citrus notes, providing a sensory experience as intriguing as its namesake.

Celebrated for its euphoric effects, the LSD strain has been a global favorite for over a decade, prized for its ability to alleviate pain and boost energy. Despite its powerful impact, the strain is known for being easy to cultivate, even for those new to growing cannabis, thanks to its resilience against diseases and pests. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a flowering time of 49 to 63 days, and is known for its high yield.

Medicinally, LSD is sought after for its effectiveness in treating stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, offering users a mental stimulation unmatched by other Indica strains. While it encourages creativity and focus, it can also induce a state of relaxation and mental calmness, depending on the individual’s response. However, potential consumers should be aware of minor side effects such as dry eyes and mouth.

Growers appreciate LSD not only for its straightforward cultivation and resistance to common cannabis ailments but also for its generous yields. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, LSD adapts well to various growing conditions, making it a versatile strain for different cultivation setups.

Appearance

The colours of the LSD strain are richer than a lot of other strains I have reviewed.

These pistils are bright and vibrant. The trichomes are glistening with some cloudiness.

This sample bud is hexagonally shaped and has a few bits of leaf, but hardly anything to be fair.

Smell

The smell of this strain is a rich and complex tapestry containing lots of skunky aromas.

I thought it smelt good before, but as soon as I crack it a delicious smell comes straight out of the nugget.

Grinding up the LSD I’m getting even more of that smell, and its delicious.

It smells a bit like Skunk No.1, but sweeter.

Taste

Consuming the LSD cannabis strain through my bong I’m not disappointed.

I expected good flavour, and this sample delivers, with a smooth and flavourful hit that contains a lot of the skunky aroma.

Effects

This strain took me from 0-7 quite quickly, and as I write this the effects are hitting me in a way that is characterised by hybrid cannabis strains.

I’m getting cerebral effects- it’s very uplifting, coupled with a nice indica-driven relaxation.

OK, time for bong No.2..

This hit is smaller than the last, clearing out my grinder.

Yes.. I can confirm it is delicious.

Conclusion

Overall I’ve enjoyed sampling this cannabis strain. I allowed this sample to cure for a while before smoking it, perhaps that has enhanced the complexity of the flavour (or simply brought it out some more).

I’d definitely smoke this again, and would say it could be consumed at any time of the day.
