Super Skunk

About Super Skunk

A cross of Skunk 1 and Afghani, Super Skunk is an indica variety. The effects people mention most are feeling sleepy, hungry and relaxed.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 89 flower samples tested between 2020 and 2023 came in at a median of 20.7% total THC (the middle half ranged from 19% to 23.1%). 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.

Aroma, flavour and terpenes

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 1.6%. Consumers most often describe the flavour as skunk, pungent and earthy.

Reported effects

Beyond feeling sleepy, reviewers also mention feeling happy and talkative. Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with stress, pain and anxiety. The side effects mentioned most are paranoia, dry mouth and dry eyes. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
