Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Amphetamine is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by Cream of the Crop Seeds, notable for its intricate genetic makeup blending ruderalis, indica, and sativa. It was meticulously bred over multiple generations to achieve a balance of rapid growth, robust yields, and a multifaceted user experience.
Appearance
Amphetamine plants typically display a sturdy structure, producing dense, resinous buds with a visually appealing mix of deep greens, purples, and blues. Small orange pistils are interspersed among frosty trichome-covered calyxes, indicating significant cannabinoid production. Plants generally reach 80-120 cm indoors and can exceed 150 cm outdoors under optimal conditions.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Amphetamine is a complex bouquet featuring earthy undertones combined with bright citrus notes, complemented by hints of pine and herbal accents.

This hybrid nature can lead to a state of focused energy and a sense of calm, making it suitable for various times of day.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Laboratory analyses have identified Myrcene and Limonene as significant terpenes in Amphetamine, contributing to its distinct aroma and potential therapeutic properties. The strain is characterized by high trichome coverage, suggesting robust cannabinoid synthesis, with THC levels around 18% and CBD below 1%.
Growing
Developed with an emphasis on quality and consistency, Amphetamine is noted for its resilience and forgiving nature, making it a good option for modern growers. It has a flowering period of approximately 8 to 10 weeks and is documented to provide improved yields compared to earlier generations.
Origins & Lineage
Amphetamine originated from Cream of the Crop Seeds, resulting from extensive crossbreeding experiments that began around 2015. Its genetic composition is an intricate blend, with approximately 20% ruderalis contributing to its resilience and auto-flowering traits, while indica and sativa each make up about 40%, providing a balance of sedative and energetic effects.
