Afghan Kush Strain

Afghan Kush Strain

Afghan Kush, also known as “Afghan OG,” is another indica strain that was brought from ‘Hindu Kush’ mountain range. This is classified as an easy-to-grow marijuana strain and is known for its stereotypical body effects that are typical to indica strains.

These effects will last up to 2 to 3 hours. Traditionally, this particular strain will be harvested for giving out higher counts of hashish. The plant will be sturdy with light colored nugs and resinous trichomes.

The buds are covered with numerous red or dark orange colored hairs. While the THC levels of Afghan Kush strain are found to be 21.6% (of all cannabinoids), the CBD levels are also high and have good medicinal values. The aroma of this medical marijuana strain will be like a mango orange farm with a pinch of funky odor.

The taste of this strain is not at all harsh. This will have a bland and fruity taste. This strain is known to affect the user’s body more than his/her mind which would lead to a feeling of laziness/sleepiness.

Due to these effects, this is most often used by insomnia patients as a bed-time medication. This is also good for stress, anxiety, anorexia, and chronic pain.

Afghan Kush has an average THC content of 13%-14% with a high of 17%. Its high creates extremely powerful effects on the body, causing the consumer to feel lazy and/or sleepy. It’s recommended for nighttime use, being effective in relieving aches and pains while inducing a euphoric sensation. Many reviewers say its hard to move after ingestion, as well as giving them the munchies. Those experiencing insomnia give this strain a high rating for its sedative effects.

Mild cases of dizziness and paranoia have been known to accompany this strain as negative side-effects, but only if consumed improperly. If too much is consumed at once, headaches may occur a few hours after the high wears off.
