This profile puts catalogue data and commonly associated descriptions into context. It is neither an analysis of a batch offered for sale nor a clinical assessment of this strain.

THC and CBD levels

THC: 14–18 % · CBD: < 1 %. The THC and CBD ranges are catalogue values. For an actual product, total THC in its batch matters, including the relevant THCA contribution. CBD-dominant does not automatically mean below 1% THC.

Effects

Reported effects: energising, mood-lifting, social, creative.

As with any strain, the experience depends on dose, tolerance, set and setting.

Aroma & terpenes

Earthy-sweet with citrus and skunk hints.

The attribution describes a commonly associated aroma profile. An analysis is needed to identify terpenes in an actual batch; it does not guarantee a medical effect.

Medical use

No clinical efficacy assessment is recorded here for this particular breeder selection. Research on a standardised cannabinoid medicine cannot be transferred to flower solely through a strain name. Discuss symptoms and possible treatments with a healthcare professional.

Columbian Gold — user experiences

No representative survey of effects, onset or duration was conducted for this page. Personal reports are not clinical evidence and cannot establish a fixed timetable for every batch.

Columbian Gold in Switzerland — legality, access & price

The product, total THC and permitted access route are what matter. Below 1%, the corresponding narcotics control does not apply; other product rules still do. A strain name or member account does not authorise access to THC cannabis.

Columbian Gold — What the terpene profile tells you

Earthy-sweet with citrus and skunk hints.

The profile describes commonly associated aromas, not an established effect on an individual. A recent batch analysis can identify the terpenes actually measured. An aroma or an isolated terpene establishes neither medical efficacy nor suitability for a particular condition.

When comparing products, read their actual analyses rather than just their names: total THC, CBD, tested terpenes and measurement date belong together. Cultivation, processing and storage can change the composition.

Columbian Gold — Reading the THC content correctly

THC: 14–18 % · CBD: < 1 %. Calculated content: 140–180 mg THC/g (14–18 %). The profile values describe the strain; they do not replace an analysis of your batch. Calculated THC in the material is neither the amount absorbed nor a personal dose. For medical treatment, follow the prescription and advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

A strain name, CBD percentage or hybrid label guarantees neither a particular effect nor fitness to drive. Traffic rules and detection thresholds are explained in the guide Cannabis and driving.

Columbian Gold — Flowering time, origin and breeder information

Colombian landrace (Santa Marta). Santa Marta, Colombia, 1960s. No independently verified flowering duration or yield measurement is recorded here for this particular breeder selection. One name can cover different lines. Comparing figures requires the breeder, the specific line and documented conditions; an indica or sativa label cannot establish an exact harvest date.

The origin label refers to the catalogue lineage, not the cultivation location of a batch offered for sale. A Swiss product therefore needs to be assessed using its own provenance and batch information.

Columbian Gold — In Switzerland: checking the product and access route

Availability of a product bearing this name needs a specific, current offer. Similarly named CBD flower does not establish identical genetics or the same terpene profile. This page confirms neither stock nor a price for this strain.

Below 1% total THC, a cannabis product falls outside the corresponding narcotics control; other rules depend on the product and intended use. At 1% or more, legal restrictions apply. Medical prescriptions and authorised pilot studies are separate access routes; club membership does not replace their requirements.
