The colorfully named Alaskan Thunder Fuck strain (also known simply as ATF or Matanuska Thunder Fuck) is a rare earthy, pungent, sativa-dominant hybrid with a THC content of 16% to 24%.
Widely known as one of the best strains around, ATF delivers a soaring, euphoric, cerebral high that electrifies the senses, relaxes the body, and lifts the spirits. Some say this strain has a bit of a creeper high, while others say it hits like a lightning bolt but in the most enjoyable and comforting way.
Regardless of how quickly its effects set in, it won’t leave users crashing and burning when the high wears off. Many cannabisseurs love this strain for a wake-and-bake brekky since it doesn’t leave them dragging by lunchtime.

Strain Information
Smokers looking for a happy, creative, and energizing high love the Alaskan Thunder Fuck strain for its euphoric, cerebral effects. While ATF leans heavily sativa, it’s about 30% indica, so it still delivers a comfortable relaxation alongside its soaring cerebral high.
Most users find Alaskan Thunder Fuck stimulates the appetite like nobody’s business, making it an excellent tool for treating low appetite. Medical patients who suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mood disorders also turn to this strain for its unique ability to regulate emotions without being draining or foggy.
ATF has a classic, skunky, gassy smell and a taste reminiscent of spice, citrus, and sweet banana and grape undertones. According to legend (the history of this strain is a bit foggy, unlike its effects), Alaskan Thunder Fuck originated as a cross between a Northern California sativa and a Russian ruderalis. Then in the 1970s, the strain was crossed again with an Afghani landrace to produce the modern version of ATF.
No one really knows whether this strain actually came out of the Alaskan tundra. But, given its name and the fact that the Matanuska Valley is an ideal area for growing weed, it’s definitely not outside the realm of possibility.
