What is the Mimosa strain of cannabis?

We have Northern California’s Symbiotic Genetics to thank for creating the Mimosa strain.

Starting with Purple Punch strain, Symbiotic Genetics makes fruity strains reminiscent of sports drinks.

Mimosa won second place in the Northern California’s High Times Cannabis Cup Awards in 2018 for best sativa.

The Mimosa cannabis strain is a cross of the dessert-like indica Purple Punch and the electrifying sativa Clementine.

The combination of two such flavorful, sweet strains gives Mimosa a unique, unmistakably citrus-forward taste.

Its uplifting euphoria shakes the cobwebs from your mind while its clear, clean head high can keep you focused and productive.

Mimosa review: Flavor, smell, appearance

There’s no doubt that the sativa-dominant hybrid Mimosa gives users a bubbly, social high.

This strain is perfect for adventures, chores, and socializing alike. What’s more, many people report this uplifting strain helps them fight depression.

Flavor

Mimosa’s earthy, sweet flavor comes from the myrcene and pinene terpenes of the candy-like Purple Punch.

The dominant limonene and terpinolene from its parent Clementine lend Mimosa an unmistakable tangerine or orange citrus burst with a little tartness. It’s almost like smoking the astronaut beverage Tang.

Smell

The Mimosa strain gets its bright smell from the pinene, myrcene and strong limonene terpenes. The result is an lively citrus fragrance with a subtle undertone not like foliage or an herb garden.

Appearance

True to its name, Mimosa has toasted orange pistils further accented by dense, dark buds and gleaming white trichomes. The Purple Punch parentage might be visible in the occasional darker purple accents.

Mind and body effects of Mimosa

Mimosa has a limonene-heavy terpene profile with hints of pinene and myrcene.

Limonene, most commonly found in citrus fruits, is usually a non-drowsy terpene with a matching fruity aroma and flavor.

It’s most commonly known for giving users a huge energetic boost that lightens the mood.

Although cannabis affects people differently, most users experience a pristine head high without too much fuzz or haze.

With the energetic boost, Mimosa users often find they are most productive and focused.

Possible medical benefits of Mimosa

The Mimosa strain’s fast-acting effects have been reported to have helped many struggling with depression and stress on the spot.

The limonene provides the uplifting, depression-fighting boost while a little myrcene allows relaxation without the sleepiness.

Some users have reported that Mimosa can help with their ADHD. It can curb their inattention to help them focus on the tasks at hand.

This strain is not for those struggling with severe chronic pain or sleep disorders.

Although a reasonably strong strain, this sativa-heavy hybrid does not provide the body relaxation and pain-inhibiting effects that other more indica-heavy hybrids would provide.

Review of Mimosa side effects

Since Mimosa is a hybrid, taking too much of it brings out the indica side of its progenitor Purple Punch. Smoking too much will likely make users lethargic rather than energized.

However, in moderation, Mimosa’s terpenes provide mood-shifting effects that can brighten almost anyone’s brunch time.

It also provides a soft dappling of focus and relaxing side effects, which are great for those who want to be adventurous, productive or get their creative juices flowing.

We advise against taking the Mimosa strain in the evening, as its energetic effects may keep you awake.

There have been reported effects of dry mouth, red or dry eyes, and getting the munchies.

To sum it up: Mimosa review

Honestly, after a long week, sometimes we need to brunch hard, and the Mimosa cannabis strain is just the one to get you going.

It works like a shot of espresso, tastes like freshly pressed juice, and will have you smiling in no time.

Whether you’re hiking, going to a concert, or cleaning the house, Mimosa is a vibrant marijuana strain to make you sing “Zip-a-dee-doo-dah” for hours.
