Afghan Kush
Broad profile30 listed sources
Afghan Kush is a legendary pure indica landrace hailing from the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan. With THC ranging 15-25% and a myrcene-forward terpene profile, it delivers deeply relaxing, sleepy, and euphoric effects wrapped in earthy, woody, and piney flavors. A go-to choice for nighttime relaxation, stress relief, and sleep support, this classic landrace remains the genetic backbone of countless modern Kush hybrids.

Alien Dawg
Broad profile21 listed sources
Alien Dawg is a potent indica-dominant hybrid (70/30) born from Chemdawg and Alien Technology genetics. Myrcene-forward with diesel, pine, and earthy notes, it delivers an initial wave of euphoric, creative energy before settling into deep relaxation and sleepiness. A 2014 High Times Medical Cup honoree, it's best suited for nighttime wind-down, stress relief, and pain management rather than daytime productivity.
