URBNJ - Afghani Single 0.5g Pre-Roll - Afghani

The Afghani strain is a pure indica landrace cannabis strain, originating from the Hindu Kush mountain range in Afghanistan. It is known for its potent, sedative effects and is a foundational strain for many modern indica varieties. History and origin: - Geographical roots: The Afghani strain developed naturally over centuries in the unforgiving, arid, and mountainous climate of the Hindu Kush region. Its genetics are a product of adapting to this harsh environment. - Resin production: Historically, Afghan landrace strains were cultivated to produce hashish (also known as "chars"), a potent concentrate made from the plant's sticky, cannabinoid-rich resin. - Widespread influence: After being brought to the West by travelers in the 1970s, the Afghani strain was refined and stabilized. Its stable genetics and high resin content have made it a cornerstone in the breeding of many popular hybrids, such as Northern Lights and Blueberry. Appearance: - Buds: Dense, compact, and often rounded, with a thick, sticky coating of trichomes (crystals). - Leaves: Vibrant green, sometimes with hints of purple or deep hues. - Pistils: Contrasting burnt orange hairs are common against the light green buds.

Effects and medical uses: - Potency: THC content can vary but is often high, sometimes reaching 20% or more, resulting in powerful effects. - Primary effects: As a pure indica, Afghani is cherished for its deeply relaxing and sedating effects, leading to heavy body highs and a tranquil, euphoric mental state.
