THE DISPENSE STRAIN GUIDE

Panama Red

hybrid

A legendary sativa-leaning strain from Central America, Panama Red gained fame in the 1960s for its distinctively cerebral, euphoric, and psychedelic effects.

About Panama Red

Originating from Panama, this strain became a staple of the 1960s counterculture movement. During an era when average cannabis potency was significantly lower, it earned a reputation for providing a uniquely psychedelic and euphoric experience characterized by intense cerebral stimulation rather than heavy physical sedation. Modern versions, such as those offered by the seed bank Anesia Seeds, report THC levels averaging around 21%. The flavor profile is noted for its sweet candy and bright lemon notes, and users frequently report an energetic, creative buzz.

Plant characteristics

The plant typically grows tall and thin, characterized by lengthy internodes and thick stems. It develops high-reaching, conic colas that exhibit a dark green color, often accented by reddish hairs that become more prominent during the curing process.
