About LSD
LSD is a hybrid from Barney’s Farm that crosses Mazar-i-Sharif with Skunk #1. It won a High Times Cannabis Cup in the 2010s and has been grown widely in Europe and North America, with a following in both the United States and Canada. Its name refers to its bold, colorful reputation, not to any actual psychedelic content.
The aroma is earthy and skunky with a sweet, slightly musky undertone. Buds are chunky and resinous, ranging from green to purple with orange pistils and heavy frost. Myrcene usually provides the earthy, musky base, caryophyllene adds peppery depth, and pinene contributes a crisp, fresh accent.
People commonly describe LSD as euphoric, creative and happy, with a vivid, playful headspace and a mellow body. Many enjoy it for creative sessions, music or social time, and some use it at almost any time of day. THC usually ranges from 18% to 24%, and CBD is typically under 1%.
LSD suits people looking for a bright, mood-focused hybrid with classic skunk flavors. Its cerebral effects can be intense in larger amounts. Start low, go slow, and settle in somewhere comfortable. Use WhereLeaf to find LSD at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
