Laughing Buddha Strain

When you hear the name Laughing Buddha for a cannabis strain, you might assume that it induces feelings of calm and laughter. You’d be right: Laughing Buddha cannabis strains have been known to offer a relaxing high, making them perfect for a lively social gathering or a daytime smoke when you’re wanting a lift. It is one of the best good-vibes, Sativa-dominant strains. It actually won the High Times Cannabis Cup award in 2003 for its positive mood-altering effects.

What Does It Taste Like: Pineapple, sweet, fruity, citrus

THC Content: Between 18%–22%  

What Is the History of the Laughing Buddha Strain?

With 25% Indica and 75% Sativa genetics, Buddha marijuana is thought to have potent benefits for a patient suffering from depression. It was created at the Amsterdam-based Barney’s Farm by crossing two strains: Jamaican Sativa and Thai Sativa.

The resulting flower has large buds with a sweet smell; many compare the aroma to a “bag full of candies”. As for the flavor, it has notes of fruity pineapple, pungent spice, tangy citrus, and aromatic herbs. The Laughing Buddha plants have a dark green hue with orange buds bending and curling throughout the flowers.

The strain could contain around 18–22% THC (highest test) and up to 1.6% of CBD. The THC content may seem high, but this nice strain doesn’t give you a strong “high” that’s usually associated with Sativa strains. In that regard, Laughing Buddha is more like an Indica dominant hybrid that gives you a more calm high. Here at Laughing Buddha the hemp store, we derive and sell only the Delta 8 Laughing Buddha strain.

What Are the Effects of Smoking Delta 8 Laughing Buddha?

Users report that the Laughing Buddha strain induces giggles, smiles, laughter, and an overall content experience. It’s easy to see why this marijuana strain and Delta 8 THC have become a fan favorite. However, it is not as prevalent as it used to be until a few years ago, mostly due to the rising popularity of new strains like Blue Dream or Strawberry Cookies.

Still, many medicinal and recreational users who use it have reported experiencing the following Laughing Buddha effects:

  • It is known to bring about a mild cerebral high, i.e., feelings of focus and productivity, without causing a physical or mental crash (unlike caffeine).
  • It can make you more clear-headed during your daily activities.
  • It has been found helpful in treating anxiety and depression, according to many consumer reviews. 
  • It might also be a good strain for patients suffering from mild pains to moderate aches, such as backaches, headaches, and cramps.

Note: Overconsumption of any cannabis strain may lead to THC-induced anxiety, amnesia haze, paranoia, dry mouth, and dry eyes so be careful with the dosage.

Is the Laughing Buddha Strain a Good Choice for Me?

If you are looking for a plant-based alternative to conventional medical treatments for stress relief or minor aches, the above strain review would tell you that Laughing Buddha might be a good option. This is especially true when you want to neutralize the debilitating impact of certain mood disorders with the calming effects of cannabis.
