aka ASS, Astral Sorcery, Astro Sorcery +2 more
A.S.S. (American Skunk Selection) is a hybrid strain built on old-school skunk genetics from breeder Doc D, with multiple documented lineage paths tracing back to strains like Amnesia Haze and Skunk #1. Expect earthy, pungent, skunky aromas paired with a euphoric, uplifted, and creative high that stays social and functional. THC can range widely from 7% to 25% depending on the phenotype, making it a versatile pick for afternoon creativity or daytime socializing.
The Short Answer
What kind of high is A.S.S.?
Earthy on the palate, most often reported euphoric and picked for watching tv/movies.
Terpenes decide how a strain feels — THC% only decides how strong the dose is. Here is the family, the chemistry behind it, and what people reach for it to do.
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that shape the character of a high. The blend a strain carries — not its THC percentage — is what makes one feel bright and social and another heavy and sleepy, which is why the top three are listed rather than just the leader.
Terpene percentages belong to the jar, not the strain. They move with harvest timing, drying, cure and shelf age — the lighter ones literally evaporate. What holds steady is which terpenes lead, so that is what we rank.

The Experience
Professor High Says...
In-depth strain breakdown from Professor High, our AI cannabis expert
The moment I exhale, that classic skunky, earthy funk hits — pungent, a little gaseous, unmistakably old-school. Within minutes, a bright euphoric lift washes in, lightening my mood without scrambling my thoughts. My head feels uplifted and clear, ideas start connecting in unexpected ways — that creative spark is real and noticeable. There's an underlying relaxed current running through my body too, loosening shoulders and easing mental chatter, but it's subtle enough that I'm still upright, social, and engaged. It's an energetic-yet-mellow balance: happy, chatty, motivated to actually do something rather than sink into the couch. Because this strain's potency swings widely from batch to batch, the intensity here feels moderate-to-strong — enough to notice everything I just described, but not so much that I lose the thread of a conversation. This is a strain that rewards curiosity and punishes impatience if you rush the dose.

Cannabinoids (THC & CBD)
THC 7-25% · Type I chemovar
THC% tells you how strong. Terpenes tell you how it feels.
THC percentage is a property of the product in your hand, not of the strain. It shifts with the batch, the grower, the harvest, and how the flower was cured and stored — the same strain can test several points apart from two different jars.
Treat the ranges below as market context for what to expect on a shelf — then read the actual label on the product you are buying, and use the terpene profile to judge how it will feel.
