Whoa! What a pungent taste and how quickly this one moves to the head! I felt my whole body tingle with joy and its ahr to express how out of the world I felt!
Ideal daytime weed with piny smell, slightly strong taste thats good to keep you focussed. Its calming, composes the mood and thats a relief for overthinkers like me.
Recently had my glaucoma surgery and now I feel the pain in the eye almost everyday. This piny strain gives instant relief and it feels like a medicine from the heavens.
I always loved the monsoon forests and thats what the smell of this strain reminds me of.
first met this strain on allbud, helped me spot this pungent, spicy variant that made me feel highly energetic
THC is high so the euphoria is also very high. I loved how energized I felt while driving to the work place
AWESOME BLOSSOM AROMA! But tastes sooo pungent. Whatta combination!
This is a perfect strain that is strong enough and also promotes good sleep. best for insomnia patients like me.
Pungent taste alerted my senses
It reminds me of floral perfume. Ugggh! Who smokes up perfumes???
Gave me raging heartbeat!
it literally spices up your day!
I used some leftovers and kief to make Afghan Hash…PERFECTION! Thats the best sign of potency, and it also makes Afghani a cost-effective choice. Dry leftovers from many other strains are very difficult to process on your own and get a quality hash...
Ive been smoking weed for decades, Afghani is my top breed.
its got a kick that doesnt miss as well as waves of energy
Turns humans into food depositories. cool herb, nice flavor and all but the hunger….
After just simply smelling this kush, I go to Nirvana
Lovely taste and aroma
once the effects kick in your bloodstream they stay for a long time
Stong long-lasting effects!!!
Beautiful buds
In my opinion this is the best sedative weed to be stoned, I enjoyed its high
Great for sleep and makes you relaxed, easing into sleep. But this weed is a bit too strong for me. I dont think this terpene is for any beginners, you need just a little to get really far
I get to concentrate much more intently after a few hits of this ganja which is strange for Indica-dominant strains. The nearly perfect balance of Indica and Sativa is manifested in its MMJ effects. For example, another effect I experience is creative juices flowing throughout my mind.
I love Afghans wax instead of smoking a blunt or bong.
A bit groggy afterwards
I use it for insomnia
…sedative body-numbing high
If you like edibles, this kush is the perfect one for you because there is a variety of recipes to try out with it. When using this kush for edibles, use the decarboxylated version regardless of your recipe.
