A Slow Six Minutes Into the Landrace Stone
Afghani does not announce itself quickly. Onset is listed as medium-slow, 6 to 7 minutes, followed by a deep classic landrace stone. The range runs 14-20% THC with CBD under 1%. Inhaled, the experience lasts 2 to 4 hours, and it stretches longer in edible form. Afghani is usually described as body-heavy, and evening use is its listed use case.
Earthy, Hoppy and Peppery: Three Terpenes in the Stack
Myrcene leads, with caryophyllene and humulene following. The aroma itself reads as earthy hash and sweet sandalwood, with only light pine behind them.
Myrcene
Myrcene opens the stack with the body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel descriptors.
Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene sits second, warm and peppery, with a grounding body note.
Humulene
Humulene is the third terpene, earthy and hoppy, described as body-grounding.
From the Hindu Kush Mountains of Afghanistan
Afghani is listed as a pure landrace with no parent strains, and its roots are in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan. It is described as the parent of most modern hash genetics. It finishes flowering in 7 to 9 weeks.
