Originating near Arcata in the late 1970's, Trainwreck is a classic and distinctive Sativa on par with Jack Herer, and similar in effects, although the taste is completely different from the sweet, cotton-candy flavor of Jack. Trainwreck's smell is pungent, sharp, and sour. The strain odor is not only strong but uniquely distinctive and instantly recognizable. With a flavor profile most similar to Sour Diesel, Trainwreck has a tangy sour foreground comparable to lemon oil, rosemary, and white vinegar. The slightly acrid background flavor is somewhere between pine sap, burnt garlic, and black coffee. The combination produces a pleasant lingering aftertaste. The strain flavor will be most appealing to those who love strong and sour flavors. The strain's classic daytime sativa effects are similar to Jack Herer but with increase alertness, energy, and focus. This makes it an ideal strain for outdoor activities, repetitive work tasks, and intense study sessions. Trainwreck can also be a "creeper" strain with delayed full effects, so take your time consuming it. Some sources claim this strain is a hybrid, but the strain effects, leaf, and bud morphology are all Sativa dominant. Bud morphology is pure Sativa, with long, soft, fingering buds with pointed tips. This is important to remember when shopping, as the old age and prestige of the strain have led to some manufacturers labeling other types of cannabis as Trainwreck (e.g. No Till). When these imposterors can't be identified by the lack of Trainwreck smell due to being in sealed containers, they might be identified by their lack of Sativa morphology. Trainwreck buds can be frosted but tend to be loose and airy even by Sativa standards. The buds are rarely dense and never round, with foxtailing being a common issue for growers.
