Arôme et saveur
Laughing Buddha is described as an earthy strain with a sweet, fruity smell broken up by hints of spice, and a rich, pungent smoke. Reviewers’ flavour tags put tea, sage and spicy herbal at the top, then earthy, citrus and sweet.
Myrcene, described as earthy, tops its lab terpene data, followed by caryophyllene and limonene.
Lignée
Laughing Buddha is a cross of Thai and Jamaican, and both parents are documented as landraces, cannabis varieties native to one region. Our post on landrace strains explains the term and where they come from.
Thai is described as a pure sativa landrace that grows natively in Thailand and reached the U.S. in the 1970s and 80s. It’s sometimes called Thai Stick, after the traditional way its buds were dried and tied into long sticks.
Jamaican covers the native landrace varieties of Jamaica, which tend to grow with a sativa structure because of the island’s latitude and climate.
Laughing Buddha’s grow notes describe a tall, difficult plant suited to hot climates, with about 85 days of flowering. That matches its Thai parent, which is described as hard to grow outside tropical climates and slow to flower.
How we sell Laughing Buddha
Laughing Buddha is on our shelf as a live resin cart: The Plug Direct Laughing Buddha Sativa Live Resin Vape Cartridge 1G, $25. Its listing describes the flavour as sweet tropical fruit and spice with an earthy edge.
Live resin is extracted from cannabis frozen right after harvest instead of dried, so more of the fresh plant’s aroma stays in the oil. This cart’s extract type is listed as live resin, while our Tegridy Extracts carts blend live resin with liquid diamonds (see Live resin ou liquid diamonds).
The cart holds 1 g and has a standard 510 thread, so it screws onto any 510 battery. We don’t sell batteries. Our cartouche 510 guide covers battery types and the voltage settings that suit a thick oil like live resin, and Cartouches de live resin covers storage and draw.
Indica, sativa et à quoi s'attendre
Les noms et les types de variétés sont un point de départ, pas une garantie. Des études sur de vrais produits de cannabis ont montré que les étiquettes ne prédisent pas de façon fiable la chimie d'un produit, et que deux lots portant le même nom peuvent différer. Lisez l'étiquette du produit pour le THC, et consultez L'indica rend-elle somnolent? pour comprendre pourquoi.
