I suffer from terrible insomnia and Afghani is by far the best I've tried for this. Normal "couchlock" indicas seem to have very little sedative effect on me, but this Afghani stuff has managed to actually WORK :). All most of the other ones did was get me high and make me even more awake. Not Afghani. Took about a tenth of a gram 20 minutes ago and I'm feeling like I will be able to sleep tonight. No big, destracting "high", either. Very clear-headed and lucid. You feel that it is there, and it is intense in it's own way, but again, incredibly lucid and not scatterbrained at all. Perfect for studying. Highly focused. The body effects, however, are QUITE strong :). I feel physically somewhat drunk, but in a pleasant way - no pukiness, impaired judgement or any malaise whatsoever like you'd get with alchohol, but extremely lazy, a bit sleepy, coordination is a little off, eyes are droopy as hell. Very mild tingling sensations - woah, a body buzz...cool :). I'm someone that can smoke just about any other indica dominant strain and get almost no body buzz at all, yet am quite sensitive to the mind-altering effects. Afghani is a perfect match for me. I'm ready to get some sleep and there's no craziness going on in my head. No trippiness. No anxiety whatsoever. This will be my insomnia medication for sure!

the first grow i ever saw in person was afghani. my first attempt to cultivate consisted of a silly little ol 150wtt HPS light , an afghani clone, and the bottom of a towel closet at the end of a hallway. this is the strain responsible for my love/lust/addiction to couch-lock inducing flowers. instant ADHD medicine. i just found an almost forgotten, gallon size baggie in the freezer that i'd originally gotten full of afghani BHO. Its freezer-safe plastic insides were COATED like a bukakke queen's face after a Peter North money shot. i've scraped up dab after dab until im partially deaf (its all good) and slumped over forward in my chair gazing at a pretty fair sized pile of cheeto dust that has formed between my flip flops (and pretty much all around me), and what was that i was talking about? aww, hell, dont even matter. gitchya some.

Very strong smell. A little leathery like Jack Herer. Sweet citrus notes, mostly lemon. An underlying earthy dankness. A bit of a Nag Champa hint upon tasting the unlit joint. Smoke is thick, pungent and lingering. Charges like a bull right out of the gate with a heavy stone and body high. This is a favorite strain of mine because of its ability to stamp out my muscle spasms and Sciatica almost instantly. It's one of the most effective strains for pain that I've come across so far, and far surpasses any prescription or OTC medication I've ever tried for inflammation. I highly recommend this for pain patients. Insomnia will not prevail here either. Also one of the few pure Indicas I really like.
