Lamb’s Bread: A Legendary Jamaican Sativa 

A Legendary Strain with a Story 

When it comes to cannabis history, few strains are as culturally rich and deeply rooted in tradition as Lamb’s Bread (also called Lamb’s Breath). Hailing from Jamaica, this iconic sativa is celebrated for reportedly offering an uplifting energy with cerebral clarity, and for its spiritual significance. Known for its association with Rastafarian culture, Lamb’s Bread is more than just a strain—it’s a symbol of creativity, meditation, and the pursuit of higher consciousness. 

Where It Came From: Origins & Background 

Lamb’s Bread is believed to be a Jamaican landrace strain, meaning it developed naturally in the region over generations without human intervention or hybridization. This pure sativa adapted to Jamaica’s tropical climate, thriving in the warm, humid conditions. 

Unlike modern hybrid strains that are selectively bred, our Lamb’s Bread maintains its original genetic integrity, making it a rare and treasured find in today’s market. 

The name “Lamb’s Bread” is thought to have spiritual and biblical significance, aligning with Rastafarian beliefs. In Rastafari culture, the lamb is often seen as a symbol of purity and righteousness, reflecting the belief that cannabis (ganja) is a sacred plant that aids meditation, self-reflection, and connection to Jah (God). 

The Strain’s Reported History 

Lamb’s Bread has been a staple in Jamaica’s cannabis culture for decades, embraced for its supposed energetic and introspective effects. It is one of the few landrace strains that has remained relatively un-changed, offering a direct connection to cannabis as it was traditionally cultivated on the island

Legendary Jamaican singer, songwriter, and cultural icon Bob Marley’s connection to Lamb’s Bread runs deep, as the strain embodies the very essence of his spiritual and creative philosophy. He reportedly called it “the food of the gods,” recognizing its ability to clear the mind, elevate consciousness, and bring one closer to Jah (God). As a devout Rastafarian, Marley viewed cannabis as a sacrament, using strains like Lamb’s Bread during meditation and reasoning sessions to spark introspection, creativity, and enlightenment. Its reported energetic, cerebral high aligned perfectly with his messages of peace, unity, and resistance, making it an integral part of his artistic and spiritual journey.  

Our Director of Cultivation spent years tracking down the most authentic Lamb’s Bread genetics, and what we’re cultivating in our Kingston MA grow is (in our opinion) the most OG Lamb’s Bread you can find in Massachusetts. 

Cannabinoid & Terpene Profile: The Science Behind the Strain 

· THC Content: Typically 16-21%, offering a moderate-to-strong potency. 

· CBD Content: Low, usually less than 1%, meaning effects are more psychoactive than medicinal. 

· Dominant Terpenes: 

• Limonene – Uplifting, mood-boosting, citrusy aroma. 

• Pinene – Enhances focus, creativity, and alertness. 

• Myrcene – Adds a hint of relaxation to balance the high. 

This terpene combination contributes to Lamb’s Bread’s reported energetic, euphoric effect, making it a go-to strain for daytime use and creative inspiration.
