About LSD
LSD is a legendary Dutch hybrid created in the late 1990s by Derry of Barney's Farm in Amsterdam. A cross between the resilient classic Skunk #1 and an authentic Afghan landrace from Mazar-i-Sharif, LSD earned its provocative name from its intensely vivid, almost psychedelic cerebral high. The buds are chunky, pale olive-green clusters blanketed in frosted trichomes with fiery orange pistils. The aroma is musky, savory, and unique—combining roasted chestnuts, sweet earthy skunk, diesel fuel, and herbal tea. Consuming LSD induces a soaring mental buzz accompanied by a deeply tranquilizing full-body stone.
