Afghani Strain — Foundational Strain From Afghanistan

This strain isn’t one of the finely tuned hybrids created by a modern breeder but rather a native “landrace” from an original source of the Cannabis sativa plant. It’s been used in countless strains to add sturdiness, thick buds, and outdoor durability, including in Ghost OG.

Afghani Strain Information

Its effects are generally considered to lean towards the indica side of the scale, although some individual cultivars may be sativa varieties instead. In Afghanistan, the native plants are used primarily to create hash rather than smoked as flowers. This has led to many people associating its musky taste with the classic hash flavor.
