About this product
A high-THC cross between strains that originated in the Hindu Kush mountain region of Central and Southern Asia, Afghan Kush is a building block of many of the Kush varieties available today. The dried flowers are dense, sticky and chunky, their moss-coloured leaves flecked with shades of purple under a cover of frosty trichomes. It offers aromas and flavours of white musk (myrcene), sandalwood and red peppercorns (caryophyllene), and wild mountain strawberries (linalool).

THC and potency

Across 13 public lab tests of Afghan Kush flower between 2020 and 2023, the median result was 16.4% total THC, with half of all samples falling between 13% and 27.6%. That is in line with most flower on Canadian shelves. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.
