A Brief History of the Amsterdam Sativa Strain

The secret behind the magic of Amsterdam Sativa lies in its roots. To fully understand its greatness, we must dive into its history.

First released in 2021, Highly Dutch Organic’s Amsterdam Sativa strain originates from and is still grown to perfection in Ontario. It’s also sisters with another popular organic cannabis supplier, The Green Organic Dutchman, both of which are known for their hybrid greenhouse growing methods.

Speaking of its organic roots, the popular flower uses the best of nature to flourish—from root beds in living soil, to natural sunlight and purified rainwater—this good organic weed required no synthetic pesticides or synthetic fertilizers to achieve its notoriety. As for the curing process, these precious flowers are expertly hung dried to maintain a balanced humidity level that protects the integrity of their terpenes and trichomes.

The Amsterdam Sativa strain packs a punch with high THC levels averaging 25% to 32% and medium CBD levels averaging 0% to 2%. Organic cannabis grown in living soil has been studied to yield more potent terpenes, and Amersterdam Satvia is a testament to that with 1% to 3% terpene levels.

It’s no surprise that this strain has quickly become a crowd favourite—and you don’t even need to break the bank to taste its greatness!
