Straight from the Hindu Kush valleys: a heavy, resinous landrace indica built for deep evening relaxation and legendary hash.
Afghan Kush is a indica cannabis strain, typically testing at 14-21% THC, descended from Afghani. Consumers most often describe its effects as relaxed, sleepy, and hungry. On the palate it tends toward earthy and pine notes, which tracks with its dominant terpenes: myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene. Among the people who log what they are using it for, Afghan Kush comes up most often around anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia, though that reflects what consumers report rather than any tested medical effect. The most commonly reported downsides are dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness, and a lower dose is the usual way to avoid them.
