A.M.S. (Amsterdam) – AAA++ – 28 grams

Indica Dominant Hybrid – 80% Indica / 20% Sativa

THC: 15% – 18%, CBD: 1%

Amsterdam OG may not be the best weed ever to come out of that city, but it’s a pleasant choice for smokers looking to alleviate stress and pain. The origins of this European strain are unclear, but the sativa/indica ratio is 20:80, so this is definitely a body-centric strain. With THC levels that can exceed 18%, this is fairly potent strain; it’s not the strongest strain, but it’s more than strong enough for many patients. But don’t use Amsterdam OG for its CBD content, as it makes up less than 1% of the plant. Instead, this strain is good for treating chronic body pains, inflammation, insomnia, and anxiety. The high is strong and physical, with a calming body buzz and a shot of happiness. Amsterdam OG has a fresh smell, with sweet notes of perfume. Likewise, it tastes of sweet perfume. Expect limited side effects, including bloodshot eyes and cottonmouth. This strain might appear at select U.S. dispensaries, but it’s much more common in its namesake city. It’s worth trying if it shows up on a local market, legal or black, but it’s not especially popular.
