Black Afghan (also known as Black Afghani) is a purely indica strain with a solid genetic backbone. This bud is a cross between a landrace Afghan Kush and Sensi Seeds’ colorful Black Domina. It has deep purple hues and the dank, incense-like aroma you’d expect of such a heavy indica. Best suited to a relaxing evening spent indoors, Black Afghan has THC levels measured at between 19% and 24%.

Black Afghan’s pervasive, full-bodied relaxation can also have many benefits for medical cannabis patients. Its soothing euphoria can counteract the symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety. Physically speaking, it can soothe aches and pains, whether temporary, as due to injury, or chronic, as due to conditions like lupus or arthritis. Anti-inflammatory properties can take the sting out of mild discomforts like nausea and cramps. Black Afghan’s tendency to induce hunger can be a great appetite enhancement for those with digestive issues, while its sedative comedown can be a viable treatment for insomnia. Because it comes with relatively little risk of paranoia or obsessive thinking, Black Afghan is a good option for patients who are prone to panic.
