It is named after St. Valentine, who in addition to being the patron saint of love and marriage, is the patron saint of epilepsy.

Originating from Synergy Wellness, a dispensary in California that specializes in high-CBD cannabis strains and products, Valentine X was created by selectively breeding an already high-CBD marijuana strain, ACDC.

The Valentine X buds have lumpy thick and feathery popcorn-shaped dark olive green nugs with blue tinges and leaves and sparse amber hairs, and a thick frosty coating of blue-tinted crystal trichomes. This bud has an aroma of earthy honey pine that has sweetness when smoking. It tastes sour and earthy on the initial inhale, with undertones of honey and apple. On exhaling, it tastes of a skunk and sweet flavor mixed with honey and pine, which results in a seductive and delicious smoke.

Bred for the purposes of medical marijuana, Valentine X has little to no psychoactivity. When smoked, patients can expect instantaneous relaxation combined with mild euphoria, together with enhanced creativity and sociability.Its high-CBD ratio was intended to aid those with epilepsy, but it also has potent anti-inflammatory properties and can combat nausea and reduce anxiety.
