A Taste of the Past

Bud Basics

By far the most iconic pure-Indica landrace strain on earth, Afghan Kush Feminized is the choice of the hour for any true cannabis connoisseur. Whether unwinding after a hard day or enjoying a lazy Saturday afternoon flat out on the couch, this stuff is the ultimate relaxation aid. 

The Hindu Kush mountain range is synonymous with the natural and completely untainted growth of quality marijuana. The combination of unique climatic conditions, high altitudes and nutrient-rich soil adds up to the perfect habitat for some of the world’s most desirable strains.

More importantly, a large range of modern hybrids have Hindu Kush heritage in their lineage. The Kush family is iconic across the board, though no single strain is quite as celebrated or significant as Afghan Kush. If you’re out for a taste of nature’s finest landraces, you simply need this specimen in your life.

Afghan Kush Feminized is famed for her relentless potency and fantastically exotic fragrance, and is about as old school as it gets - notorious for her uncompromising and often incapacitating high – guaranteed to knock even seasoned stoners clean off their feet.

Additionally, this feminized landrace naturally produces masses of THC and a decent amount of CBD, making her an ideal fit for recreational and medicinal needs.

Flavor and Fragrance of Afghan Kush

This stuff is the epitome of all-things exotic, with a fantastic fragrance that transports you directly to the heart of the Hindu Kush mountains. The fragrance is dominated by the unmistakable sweet and spicy aroma of quality hashish, with buttloads of dank in the background and a spike of classic skunkiness. All of which bursts into life when the buds are burned.

Both on the inhale and the exhale, the flavor profile is dominated by masses of sweet and spicy hashish, which begins a multi-sensory magic carpet ride into a world of shameless self-indulgence. The aftertaste lingers for hours on end, courtesy of a super-thick smoke that permeates pretty much everything in the vicinity.

The most dominant terpenes in Afghan Kush are myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene respectively, which help deliver that herbal spicy quality to these exquisite nugs.

Unsurprisingly, all of the above translates to an exceptionally enjoyable and exotic flavor that’s unique to this strain alone. The smoke itself is as dense, heavy and uncompromising as it gets, often proving too harsh for inexperienced smokers to handle.

Ask any seasoned stoner and they’ll tell you the same - Afghan Kush tastes exactly how any good Indica landrace strain should taste.

After which, things melt into a feeling of complete and utter idleness that lingers for hours on end. You’ll have no intention of doing anything more physically demanding than blinking, while enjoying each and every second of the experience.
