Afghan Kush, also known as “Afghan OG,” is a classic indica strain originating from the Hindu Kush mountain range. Renowned for being easy to cultivate, it delivers the deeply relaxing body effects typical of indicas, lasting around 2 to 3 hours. Traditionally prized for its high hashish yield, Afghan Kush grows as a sturdy plant with light-colored buds, coated in resinous trichomes and adorned with abundant red or dark orange hairs. With THC levels reaching up to 21.6% and a notably high CBD content, this strain offers strong medicinal benefits. Its aroma resembles a blend of mango and orange with a hint of earthy funk, while the flavor is smooth, mild, and fruity. Afghan Kush is known for its heavy body effects, inducing a sense of calm, drowsiness, or sleepiness, making it a popular choice for treating insomnia. It’s also commonly used to relieve stress, anxiety, anorexia, and chronic pain.
