Afghan Kush reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Afghan Kush.
Pretty new to Leafly but I saw it on Getting Doug With High on Youtube and figured I'd give it a try. I'm a casual smoker and this took me back like it was the first time. I hardly need more than 2 hits to feel sensational about everything. I'm usually a paranoid high but this really just slows everything down and calms me completely. This certainly isn't the most casual strain I've ever had, but it is great regardless. Might not be the best for first timers, but I still definitely recommend this to even lightly experienced stoners.
Afghan Kush flavour was smooth start to finish but somewhat pungent. In low dose (1-2 off the waterpipe), I had relaxed feeling with moderate pain relief and slight urge to sleep. A few rips later, pain was no longer an issue, but I was a bit dreamy, definitely no longer in a frame of mind to make important decisions and needing to wait for the buzz to wind down a bit before wanting to sleep. I found my sleep to be of pretty good quality: the pain relief allowing me to sleep for long periods that were interrupted only by need to use toilet. Bottom line: like any strand, find the appropriate dose. I am sensitive to medication, so I tend to need less than most people (great on the wallet!).
I have to say this is the best strain of marijuana for any kind of nerve pain. It also helps me relax from daily stressors and makes me very sleepy and hungry. It's very woodsy and has a nutty musty taste which is quite good.
About half way through the first bowl hit had already start to hit with a kinda jumpy, energetic type high; takes about 45 min-1 hour to start to come down from the high then it's a good relaxed feeling for about another hour and a half, good for late in the evening. Taste: more pine and woody taste; did taste a little earthy. An overall good strain, would recommend for anyone dealing with stress, depression, muscle pain, or insomnia.
I don't specifically like this type of high but I see how is is enjoyable. Very chill, free mind and just happy. Negatives would be laziness and sleepiness.

I have to recommend every Afghan strain. They are all my favorite. This just gives you a great body high and a very mild mind high.
This is my favorite indica for stress hands down. The pain relief is more like prescription ibuprofen, but the euphoria is outstanding. Afghan Kush is the "wash away the day" strain, or for spending the evening with your lover. Substitute this for alcohol and you have a mellow, uplifting, relaxing way to help your mind and body cope with stress!
Very cool high. Felt relaxed and giggly. I laughed a lot. I was just happy.
