Lions Breath strain guide
Lions Breath is a sativa-leaning hybrid whose family tree runs through God Bud and Hash Plant. Listings describe a sweet strawberry smell with spice and vanilla, and people report a bright, quick-arriving, uplifted feel.
Where does Lions Breath come from?
The two sources we checked agree on the ancestry but not the exact parents. One lists God Bush crossed with Hash Plant. The other lists Lionheart crossed with Cuddle Fish, which it describes as God Bud and a Californian Hash Plant.
Both point to God Bud and Hash Plant, so that is what we can say with confidence. We found no breeder page, so who made it and when are not well documented. Don't confuse it with Jah Lion's Breath, a separate Bean Boyz Genetics cross.
What does Lions Breath smell and taste like?
One listing describes sweet strawberry over a heavier, spicy and pungent base, with a hint of dank. A producer description reads it as earthy berry with spicy vanilla on the exhale.
That same producer lists caryophyllene, myrcene and pinene as its terpenes. Caryophyllene brings a peppery spice, myrcene an earthy side and pinene a fresh pine note. This comes from a single product page, so your batch may differ.
Lions Breath effects: what people report
The few reports we found describe an uplifting, creative feel that arrives quickly, with some tingling and a light body feel. It's usually called a sativa-leaning strain, which matches that bright description.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and the number of reviews is small. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your tolerance.
How strong is Lions Breath?
Published listings put Lions Breath at about 21% to 30% THC, with CBD at 1% or less. One source lists 29% to 30%, and a producer listing shows 21% to 27%.
That's a strong range, so start with a small amount and wait before having more. The numbers on your own package matter more than any average; see our guide to reading cannabis labels.
Buying Lions Breath in Canada
Different producers may use different parents, so check the label and the producer's description. Similar names like Jah Lion's Breath are other strains.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its smell.
Lions Breath vs Hash Plant
Hash Plant is one of the two ancestors the sources name. It's a classic Afghan-style indica known for a sweet hashish smell and a heavy, settled feel, and it's usually listed well below Lions Breath in THC. Lions Breath leans sativa with a brighter, berry-and-spice profile. If you want the old-school hash character, try Hash Plant. If you want something livelier and fruitier, try Lions Breath.
