LA Amnesia

So what do consumers say about LA Amnesia? Here at Nationwide Dispensaries, we’ve gathered reports of firsthand experiences to distill the key benefits and unique effects that patients attribute to this strain.

Though reviews are inherently anecdotal, many of these reported benefits are, in fact, highly consistent with the scientifically-studied benefits of its dominant terpenes. This overlap suggests that in LA Amnesia, compounds such as valencene, limonene, and caryophyllene synchronize to deliver their benefits in prime form. 

Below are some of the key traits and phrases that consumers have used to describe the effects of this strain.

Euphoria & Mood Elevation. Consumers of LA Amnesia can’t seem to overemphasize  the euphoria that this strain provides: “happy” is a buzzword in countless reviews that describe the mood-boosting effects of this strain. Consequently, depression is one of the most common symptoms that reviewers describe using this strain to manage.

Cerebral, Creative, and Inspiring. Perhaps due to its limonene and valencene content, LA Amnesia also seems to deliver a cerebral, creative high that many describe as “inspiring.” Consumers have commented at length on the mental clarity that this strain delivers, and suggest that LA Amnesia helps them think outside of the box, encouraging creative, abstract thinking to help them feel confident as they tackle tasks throughout the day.

Energized, Focused & Alert. LA Amnesia is purported to be quite energizing, which is why many patients love using this strain to start the day. Many customers have reported that in addition to an energy boost, LA Amnesia seems to benefit alertness and focus, making it a perfect way to achieve symptom relief without dulling your mental clarity.

Fast-Acting, Long Lasting. The effects of LA Amnesia are fast-acting, delivering a smooth buzz within minutes of exhalation. And even more notably, they are unusually long-lasting; some consumers say that the effects of LA Amnesia last for a solid four to five hours. And many report that despite this sustained energy burst, they also sleep soundly after using LA Amnesia earlier in the day.

Great for Depression and Anxiety. Reviews abound in favor of LA Amnesia’s benefits for depression and anxiety–perhaps unsurprisingly, considering that the dominant terpenes in this strain are renowned for their antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. Granted, LA Amnesia is known for its euphoric buzz, and is likely a great mood-booster for any consumer–but the strain may be especially helpful for those looking to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression. Reviews also suggest that this strain is beneficial for managing circumstantial stress, allowing them to unwind and let the day’s worries melt away. 

Physical Comfort & Pleasurable Body Buzz. Typically, indicas are credited with delivering a pleasant, full body high, while sativas are known to deliver more of a cerebral “head high”–but LA Amnesia, despite being sativa-dominant, manages to do both. In addition to feeling energized, consumers of LA Amnesia describe a pleasurable “body high” while using this strain, reporting that it soothes the muscles and joints, while reducing discomfort–delivering a rare combination of relaxation and invigoration at once. 

Great for Physical Activity, Mobility, and Joint Pain. Because LA Amnesia is energizing, motivating, and uplifting, it may be an excellent aid for physical activity, and for those looking to manage discomfort and maintain active lifestyles. In particular, many consumers note reduced joint pain after using LA Amnesia, which makes the strain great for enhancing mobility while supporting daily activities and workouts without aches, pains, sore muscles, or stiff joints. 

Stimulating, But Not Jittery. Though we’ve said plenty about LA Amnesia’s energizing effects, users have also pointed out that the strain is simultaneously relaxing, with many reporting that LA Amnesia makes it easier to fall asleep at night, particularly when consumed in higher doses.

Potent, But Not Panicky. LA Amnesia is potent–that’s for sure. And for some, maybe too potent. (See the “Negatives” section below.) But many reviewers who have tried the strain have pointed out that despite its high potency, the “high” they get from LA Amnesia doesn’t seem to induce the panicky feeling associated with other, high THC, low CBD strains. Instead, many describe the buzz as strong, but nonetheless, experience a “smooth,” “meditative” high for hours after consumption. 

Social, Talkative, and Giggly. Unlike many cannabis strains of similar potency, LA Amnesia is reported to be great for social occasions. In addition to the euphoria, confidence, and “inspiration” that this strain delivers, consumers report feeling talkative, sociable, and giggly while enjoying this smooth, long-lasting high. 

Appetite Stimulant & Anti-Nausea. Like many cannabis strains, LA Amnesia is also a potent appetite stimulant, and is often used to reduce nausea.
