What is the LSD strain?
LSD is a cannabis strain, not the drug. Barneys Farm's description, reproduced on Seedfinder, says it crossed an old Skunk #1 with Mazar and that the farm crew named it LSD because of its powerful, trippy effect. Leafly lists it as a hybrid with a Mazar-I-Sharif and Skunk #1 lineage, Weedmaps calls it an indica-dominant cross from Amsterdam-based Barney's Farm, and the breeder itself describes it as a very powerful indica.
Seedfinder's family tree shows Mazar as an Afghani and Skunk cross, and Weedmaps describes LSD as Skunk #1 crossed with an Afghani landrace. According to Seedfinder and Weedmaps, LSD took 3rd place in the Indica category at the 2008 High Times Cannabis Cup. The breeder describes a hardy, disease-resistant plant that flowers in 60 to 65 days indoors.
Look, smell and taste
Leafly says the buds form in curved triangles, and growers on Seedfinder describe the dried buds as hard and compact. Barneys Farm describes an intense earthy chestnut flavour with a sweet, musky smell, and Weedmaps adds a floral note and a citrusy chestnut aroma. Leafly reviewers most often report skunk, earthy and tobacco flavours, while Weedmaps users report earthy, skunk and lime. Leafly lists myrcene as the dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and limonene.
Effects people report
Leafly says LSD is popular for a vivid euphoric experience and a powerful body buzz, and its reviewers most often report feeling euphoric, tingly and creative; Leafly rates its effects as mostly energizing. The breeder calls it a euphoric, almost psychedelic and very powerful stone. Seedfinder users list spacy or confusing, nervous or fidgety, and couch-locking among its effects, and the most common negatives on Leafly are dry mouth, dizziness and feeling anxious. For the difference between those sensations, see head high vs body high.
Given its strong reputation, start with a small amount, and do not drive for at least 6 hours afterwards, as Health Canada's lower-risk guidelines advise.
THC and potency
Leafly lists about 18% THC, while the breeder's own figures are 24% THC and 1.3% CBD. Numbers vary between growers and batches, so go by the lab-tested THC on the package.
Similar strains and relatives
Weedmaps lists LSD's parent lines, Skunk #1 and Afghani, as its most similar strains. Breeders have also used LSD as a parent: Leafly lists Blue Sky and Alien Hallucination as its children, and Seedfinder records crosses such as Citric Acid, which pairs LSD with Barneys Farm's Tangerine Dream.
