AK-47 is a hybrid (balanced) cannabis strain with a sour earth, sandalwood, sweet pine on the exhale profile, 17-22% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene. It is best known for creative afternoon, social conversation, the long bike ride, with effects setting in fast, 3 minutes, mellow-uplifting cerebral wave. Terp Bros NYC stocks AK-47-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
AK-47 is typically reported as a hybrid (balanced) experience: creative afternoon, social conversation, the long bike ride. Onset is fast, 3 minutes, mellow-uplifting cerebral wave. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
AK-47 is built on a dominant terpene stack of myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, which together produce the sour earth, sandalwood, sweet pine on the exhale aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Myrcene
In AK-47 specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Caryophyllene
In AK-47 specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Pinene
In AK-47 specifically, pinene contributes focus-supporting, fresh, clean on the chest.
Lineage + Genetics
AK-47 traces back to Colombian crossed with Mexican crossed with Thai crossed with Afghani, with a documented origin story rooted in Netherlands, 1992 by Serious Seeds, multiple Cannabis Cup winner. The flowering time runs 7-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
sativa-leaning hybrid that hits like a clean morning sativa, we keep AK-47 on hand for customers afraid of the heavier indicas. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try AK-47 in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is AK-47 a daytime or evening strain? Daytime-leaning. AK-47's terpene profile (myrcene + caryophyllene) reads more alert than restful. For a quieter, heavier evening profile, ask the budtender about myrcene + linalool indica options.
Does AK-47 cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. AK-47 contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of AK-47? AK-47 typically tests in the 17-22% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is AK-47 safe for first-time cannabis customers? AK-47 is a balanced hybrid that works for first-time customers as long as the dose is conservative. Start with a single inhale or a 2.5mg edible, and ask a budtender about the current batch's THC percentage before deciding on format.
