Shaman reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Shaman.
it's uplifting, really good for when you go to work or have something to do around the house.
This is one of three strains I grew on my first run in 04'. I was told 90% sativa and it grew short and bushy with dense flowers like an indica. I smoked it for months and enjoyed the lemony sweet uplifting effects daily. I grew 12 from seed in 3 gallon pots next to a bed of Mango and one giant HOG Wreck in a 15gal on the side of the room. Check that. The fourth strain was a few Somangos to fill things out.
From what I've read, Shhman is an old hybrid whose ancestry is a cross between Purple and old Skunk. Purple is not usually one of my favorite mothers, while I call Skunk my best "giggle weed," often so silly I'm almost stupid (back to the second grade). This hybrid though is different than either. It has some of the elevating effects I'm used to with Skunk, but without the "stupid" aspect--instead I feel creative, heightened, and I would agree with reviewers who've called it "almost psychedelic." Visually, colors around you brighten up with this strain, which is something I've only experienced otherwise with Sour Diesel. While I would say the Sativa-typical affects of this strain are definitely dominant, Shaman also does come with a slight but perfectly sweet body buzz, and can be nice before sleep as well (I then have very powerful dreams). The head high is very strong, without needing to smoke very much, and it's quite long-lasting. First time I smoked it, my friend and I agreed it was like a "truth syrum," we had a very different and more intimate conversation than we would have otherwise... we talked for hours. I love this strain.
This strain gives a nice energy kick and has a good amount of positive upbeat emotions. Would be an excellent anti-depressant strain ! More mental than body effects. The high starts very activating/energizing and later tranfers into a heavy couchlock. Did not make me tired.
Great heady strain. Old school with a unforgetable flavor/smell profile Had a purple aroma and tasted much like a red table wine. Not overly potent but puts you in the right place to transcend consciousness and enhance the senses.

Shaman (in Concentrate form) is by far a great, great strain for not only veterans of the concentrate field, but beginners as well. I usually burn through a half g of Shatter, or crumble in a day. I've had this stuff for six days and counting, and have a half g left. Last night I smoked out two fellow patients but first timers dabbing, and they both said they had never been this medicated before. (this is off one hit mind you) !y stuff was 92% THC and .08 CBD, and created by a genius label known as "Waxman". Great stuff and I urge other East Bay Area patients and elsewhere locally to look out for this wonderful strain.
Very distinct taste ! It's pretty flowery with a bit of spice. This stuff was extremely heady and gives you a tiny body high as well. These boat times are too spicy for the pepper.

Picked this up in Steamboat, CO. Absolutely loved this one. Felt euphoric and motivated. Great day smoking weed and great for joints!! Probably my new favorite strain.
