Love Potion strain guide
Love Potion, also listed as Love Potion #1, is a sativa-leaning hybrid from Reeferman Seeds. It brings together G13 and Colombian Gold, smells like skunky lemon, and people mostly describe it as energetic, happy and creative.
Where does Love Potion come from?
Love Potion was bred by Reeferman Seeds. Sources agree it comes from G13 and Colombian Gold. One strain database gives a little more detail: G13 was crossed with a Santa Marta Colombian Gold, and the result was crossed back to Colombian Gold again, which helps explain its sativa lean.
It is usually described as about 70% sativa. A different strain called Love Potion, built from Purple Punch and Slurricane, also shows up in some listings, so check which one a product means.
What does Love Potion smell and taste like?
Love Potion smells like lemon and citrus on top of a skunky, earthy base. Some people also mention a flowery note. The taste tends to be tangy lemon with a bit of spicy skunk on the finish.
None of the sources we checked publish a terpene profile for Love Potion, so we can't say which terpenes lead. The label on a lab-tested product is the best place to look.
Love Potion effects: what people report
People mostly describe Love Potion as energizing: happy, creative and uplifted, with a busy, chatty headspace. Some also mention feeling focused or giggly. A few reviewers found it underwhelming, so not everyone has the same experience.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint, and some people mention feeling anxious or dizzy, especially on an empty stomach.
How strong is Love Potion?
Love Potion is usually listed as a moderate-THC strain. Strain databases mostly put it around 15% to 18% THC, though individual product listings range far wider, from single digits to the low 30s.
That spread is a good reason to read your label. If you are new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more.
Buying Love Potion in Canada
Look for the name Love Potion or Love Potion #1, and check the description if you can, since the Purple Punch and Slurricane strain shares the name.
You might find it as dried flower or pre-rolls. Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that lemon smell.
Love Potion vs G13
G13 is one of Love Potion's parents, but the two land in different places. G13 is indica-leaning, with an earthy, piney smell and a calm, heavy reputation. Love Potion takes much more from its Colombian Gold side: lemony and skunky, and described as energetic and creative rather than settled. If you want a calm, heavy strain, G13 is the classic. If you want something brighter and more upbeat, Love Potion is the better match.
