If you’re inviting friends over, plan on having a stocked cupboard and fridge. And by stocked, the doors should be busting off the hinges. A couple of joints of Afghan and the stomach starts rumbling like a race car ready to get off the line.

Afghan Kush is a landrace strain from, you guessed it, Afghanistan and the Hindu Kush mountain region. A landrace strain is a pure cannabis strain indigenous to a specific region. In this case, Afghan Kush is a short, fat indica that’s often used in hashish cultivation. Used in low doses, the effects are uplifting and euphoric, creating a blissful vibe that carries on for hours. However, if you punch above your weight, you could find yourself stuck to the couch with no hope in sight of leaving.

Since Afghan Kush is “pure” it hasn’t been subjected to the agricultural hybridization and most modern day strains. So, this is about as true of an indica as it gets. While most hybrids contain soaring amounts of THC, Afghan Kush’s THC content is naturally high. It hovers at around 17%.

Taste, Aroma and Appearance

This strain has a classic Kush flavor and aroma. It has a distinct pungency with plenty of spice. It also has a lovely sweetness to it, which amplifies the herbal taste. Overall, Afghan Kush is truly some dank herb.
