Laughing Buddha is an award-winning sativa (2003 High Times Cannabis Cup) from Barney's Farm that grows fast and tall. An earthy cross between Thai and Jamaican strains with a sweet, fruity smell that is broken up by hints of spice and provides a rich pungent smoke that will leave consumers feeling happy, upbeat, and will leave them giggling even when battling depression.

I’m very much a Sativa lover and this disappointed me in that it did not act like a Sativa dominant. I enjoyed this strain but not in the ways I was expecting. It is widely reported as a 80/20 sativa dominant but the effects I got were more of a 60/40 or even 50/50 hybrid. Very uplifting at the start that rapidly changes into a deep relaxation and then into a sleepy state I couldn’t fight. This stuff made me sleep when I didn’t want to. So I gave it 5 stars for the effects because I very much enjoyed it but from now on I will be smoking this late into the evening or night and not as a wake and bake because I tried that but I wound up sleeping about an hour into my buzz. So just a warning for others if you want a true clear headed wake and bake effect go for Durban Poison, Jack Herer or Lemon Bean. But this is a great 60/40 experience but just don’t count on the uplifting effect to last very long.

Had in Damping in a bong so whichever strain they have packs one helluva punch. Long lasting too. Took off like a Rocket, partner was quite paranoid for 20 mins or so but the aggressive vibe bouncer they used to have caused that. I found it really buzzy, racy but creative ( started writing poetry), very wakey wakey (deffo not for sleeping!). After a while mellowed into great feeling high with clear head ( found my way back to hotel with no trouble in unfamiliar streets) and most important for me- really made music magic. It is slightly hard work if you just want to relax but if you want to be energised it is brilliant

I got the seeds from the original breeder Barney's farm and grew this plant successfully, as it grows very well. Plenty of potent sticky buds with nice smell. The smoking: good taste and good vibe. Only regret is that I did not feel giggly as promised.

The oversized colas often need pruning and extra support, but the added work pays off come harvest time when full, frosty buds cover almost the entire plant.
