Black Afghan is an indica variety. The effects people mention most are feeling sleepy, hungry and relaxed.
Across 149 public lab tests of Black Afghan flower between 2020 and 2022, the median result was 21.4% total THC, with half of all samples falling between 20.1% and 22.6%. CBD is typically negligible (under 0.5%). That is in line with most flower on Canadian shelves. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.
In lab tests its dominant terpene is myrcene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Myrcene is known for earthy, musky notes with a ripe-fruit edge, while pinene adds sharp, fresh pine. Total terpene content measured a median of 1.4%. On the palate, people pick out pepper, sage and pine.
Beyond feeling sleepy, reviewers also mention feeling euphoric and tingly. Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with anxiety, pain and stress. The side effects mentioned most are dry eyes, anxiety and headaches. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
