    DeePuff Pick Reason

    Afghan Kush earns its DeePuff fit from 18% THC, a chill evening profile led by Myrcene, and effects that lean calmer and more body-forward.

    Stack Guidance
    Stacks with
    Citrus terpene strains for lift
    Low-dose creative hybrids
    Avoid stacking
    Very sedating indicas if you need momentum
    Unknown edibles until you know tolerance

    Afghan Kush is a pure Indica landrace strain that originated in the Hindu Kush mountains. It delivers a heavy, sedating body high, making it perfect for deep relaxation and pain relief. Its aroma is earthy and hash-like.

    What are Terpenes?

    Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to each strain's unique smell, taste, and effects. They work synergistically with cannabinoids in what's known as the "entourage effect" to enhance or modify the overall experience.
