AK-47

AK–47 Strain Type: 65:35 sativa:indica Ancestry: Colombian (sativa), Mexican (sativa), Thai (sativa), and Afghani (indica) landrace strains Creators: Dutch seed bank Serious seeds THC Levels: 15-20% on average CBD Levels: 1-1.5% Terpenes: caryophyllene, limonene (overall low and limited terpene content) Appearance: bright, lime green buds with tight, curled up leaves and rust-colored pistils, all glistening with white trichomes Aroma and Taste: very strong and sour, with earthy notes. Trivia: According to Serious Seeds, the strain has won 27 awards, including quite a few High Times Cannabis Cups. Recreational Effects AK-47 may have a violent name and the potency calibre to match, but it’s a manifestation of love, peace, and all-around good vibes. Some might say this iconic strain is the MDMA of cannabis because of its deep connection to music. AK-47’s bullets are funky tunes and mental care-free sunshine. It puts you in that movie-esque state where music becomes the perfect soundtrack, an intrinsic element of the moment, including moments that take place entirely in your imagination. And music video visions won’t be the only fruit of your elevated imagination by any means. AK-47 really gets the creative juices flowing, but without inundating you with chaotic ideas and thoughts that are virtually impossible to capture, crystallize, and put together into something coherent and meaningful. Even as the high progresses in time, the creative spark doesn’t just go out – on the contrary, it’s almost like one of those trick birthday candles that can burn for seemingly forever in your blissful state of trance. This strong, yet mellow mental buzz and euphoria make AK-47 perfect for walks in nature (when consumed in moderation), like a pair of rose-tinted glasses that create a state of perpetual sunset. The only turbulent effect of AK-47 is the explosive laughter it can incite in long, rapid-fire successions. With its solid indica element in its genetics, AK-47 provides some body relaxation as well that can even grow into a proper couch-lock deep into the long-lasting high, especially with large quantities consumed. Medicinal Benefits When the mind is in the midst of engrossing creative exploration and spells of glee and laughter, sombre forces and worries tend to fade away in the background. In that spirit, AK-47 can help people with anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders find spontaneous respite. With that being said, this is a potent strain, so moderation is key for such users to prevent a reverse effect like spells of paranoia. AK-47 also provides deep relief from chronic pain and migraines. AK-47’s mental buzz and overarching sense of promise can help users snap out of fatigue and lethargy. Of course, AK-47’s high CBD count makes for versatile therapeutic applications in itself.

Afghan Kush

Afghan Kush Strain Type: ≈ 100% indica Ancestry: A descendant of Afghani, Afhan Kush comes from the Hindu Kush mountain range near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Creators: Afghan Kush is a landrace strain, meaning it’s the spontaneous result of its native region’s natural conditions rather than a grower’s creation. However, White Label Seed Company, a Sensi Seed partner, sells seeds for this strain. THC Levels: 21%, as per Analytical 360, a respected cannabis testing lab. Terpenes: caryophyllene, myrcene, humulene Aroma and Taste: Classically dank and hash-like, with sweet notes. Appearance: Classic, round, forest green buds, with burnt orange pistils and a frosty trichome coating.  Recreational Effects It doesn’t get any more indica than Afghan Kush. And it probably shouldn’t, as if it did, you’d basically be going straight to sleep. Afghan Kush is not for rookies, and especially not for day-time use, even if you have the entire day off. What Afghan Kush is for, is relaxing your entire being to its very core. Being so quintessentially indica, Afghan Kush takes over the body first and presides over it completely throughout the entire experience. The best way to consume this potent strain is next to, or better yet already positioned on a comfortable surface, with your to-do list for the rest of the night completely scratched off. Despite its potency, Afghan Kush is not overwhelming or disorientating, but simply peaceful. The profound relaxation that quickly morphs into a thick, sticky fog of sweet, blissful lethargy will trump any go-getter’s spark. From then on, you’ll basically inhabit one of those cozy looping animated backgrounds to relaxing music compilations on YouTube: you might listen to music, watch undemanding videos or series, maybe play video games if your cannabis tolerance and energy levels are up to par with this now lofty task. Whatever you do though, it will be in a place of peace, disturbed only by insatiable munchies that only sleep will put an end to. Medicinal Benefits Afghan Kush is a medical cannabis user’s delight, as long as it’s not versatile cerebral effects that are also sought after. For starters, its off-the-chart CBD levels are a serious therapeutic claim in themselves. While sativa-dominant strains can alleviate mood disorders like depression, anxiety, by taking the troubled mind to a different and wondrous plane of thought, Afghan Kush provides respite through its ability to practically shut down thoughts altogether, or at least the negative ones, leaving only random traces of ideas and feelings floating about. When it comes to physically therapeutic effects, Afghan Kush is hardly matched. Its pain-relief and muscle relaxation are a thing of beauty, a professional athlete’s dream. Staying awake under Afghan Kush’s influence could be a legit Indian form of torture, so insomniacs can find this strain infinitely beneficial. The munchies are also very powerful, so people who suffer from a clinical lack of appetite should give Afghan Kush a try.

Alaskan Thunder Fuck

Alaskan Thunder Fuck (a.k.a. Matanuska Tundra and/or Matanuska Thunder Fuck) Type: sativa-leaning hybrid Creators: Unknown, but widely believed to have originated from the Matanuska Valley in Alaska Ancestry: A mysterious Northern California sativa and a Russian ruderalis (a rare, wild, sturdy cannabis species that’s considered separate from indica and sativa) THC Levels: 20% on average, can reach up to 25% Terpenes: linalool (very high), myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene Aroma and Taste: The scent is overwhelmingly pungent and notoriously skunky, with heavy notes of earth and diesel. The skunk and diesel carry into the flavor as well, but there’re also notes of lemon, orange, and pine, along with some hints of sweetness and a lingering spicy aftertaste. Appearance: Spade- or cone-shaped buds, with curled up, light green leaves and occasional purple hues, all very generously coated in trichome frosting. Recreational Effects Alaskan Thunder Fuck is as hard of a name to live up to as any, and this strain does a pretty good job at it. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a delight for creatives and problem-solvers, as it amplifies analytical skills and divergent thinking and makes ideas strike like lightnings during thunderous brainstorming sessions. There’s also a palpable augmentation of the sensory perceptions that only adds a layer to the sweeping mental buzz. It’s the kind of strain you could imagine Joe Rogan smoking on his podcast, discussing anything from the universe to animal MMA fights with an unadulterated childlike sense of wonder and glee. For most users, especially the more experienced ones, this strain strikes a balance between mental buzz and focus, euphoria and relaxation, however, it can cause the mind to race a little faster than it should, especially in larger quantities. Alaskan Thunder Fuck is one of those strains that vibe particularly well with music, especially trippy genres like trance for example, projecting songs on your mind’s screen and provoking spontaneous introspection. Alaskan Thunder Fuck sends gentle, tingling waves of relaxation throughout the entire body. This tingly sensation can grow into quite the aphrodisiac, but this strain doesn’t arouse only on a strictly physical level. On the contrary, according to some users, the “thunder fuck” portion of the name can be attributed to the thunderous, yet thoughtful euphoria, bolstered by sensual physical relaxation – a combination that sparks a desire for contact on all levels. Medicinal Benefits Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a powerful antidepressant, or at the very least a distraction, in its ability to uplift both the mood and the plane of thought. When it comes to anxiety, however, as well as ADD, it can be a double-edged sword, and how it works depends largely on the quantity consumed and the user’s natural dispositions. It could backfire for those, prone to paranoia and/or with a low THC tolerance. Alaskan Thunder Fuck provides anything but a lethargic high, and in that spirit, it can snap you out of a sense of burnout. The gentle physical relaxation also lends itself nicely to pain relief and anti-inflammation.
