Description
AK-47 marijuana strain is a Sativa dominant hybrid created by Serious Seeds. This 16 time international award winner is not as scary as it sounds. Great for daytime hanging out with friends. AK-47 grows tight buds with minimal amount of leaves. AK-47 marijuana gives off very strong smell during growing and flowering. First time users be aware, this girl delivers a strong punch due to high THC levels – consume too much and end up in a couch-lock. The bud is good for morning and daytime use.
Unlike what its name suggests, AK-47 is a mellow, albeit potent sativa-dominant strain, that can be described as gentle rather than forceful. A mix of several strains, this one comes heavily decorated with awards, and has earned its reputation for being a global favorite.
It is a bit of a mystery as to why exactly this strain was named after an aggressive Russian assault rifle, as the AK-47 strain is actually more on the mellow side of things. A very special blend of all the good things out there, AK-47 is a mix of a South American, Thai and Mexican sativa, crossed with an Afghani indica.
Originating in the Netherlands in the early 90’s, this strain has earned some of the highest merits in the cannabis scene. AK-47, the strain, has won the 2nd prize for best sativa at the High Times Cannabis Cup that was held in 1999, the 1st prize at the Highlife competition in Spain and in 2010, it raked in the 1st prize at an expo in Toronto. With 16 awards under its belt, AK-47 ranks amongst the highest ranked strains ever created.
Fragrance
AK-47 has a bit of a sour note to it, that is strongly accompanied by a very noticeable earthy smell. It is strong smelling in nature, and boasts of a pleasant combination of different whiffs. A slight tinge of a sweet sugary aroma can be detected in AK-47, which hangs in the air.
Flavors
Continuing on with what the lingering scent of the AK-47 hints at, its flavor contains sweet floral notes that are mixed with a pungent earthiness to it. This strain contains a certain herbal spiciness to it, that marks it as one of the more “skunky” strains out there. Some reports from users also note a certain chemical aftertaste, although this isn’t always observed to be the case.
Adverse reactions of Ak-47 Marijuana strain
When taken in moderate doses, AK-47 only causes minor side effects, which is why it is known for being an easy smoke. It can cause some dizziness and lightheadedness, and in very rare cases it may cause the smoker to feel a touch of paranoia and possibly a headache.
Mostly, the most common adverse effect observed in this has been about a feeling of being dehydrated, with a dry mouth and dry eyes making you slightly uncomfortable.
Medical uses of Ak-47 Marijuana strain
AK-47 is a strain that boasts of very strong medicinal properties. It has therefore been widely used to treat an array of mental disorders. Anxiety and depression are among the biggest reasons why doctors have been prescribing this medical strain.

I normally smoke indica, but was not disappointed with this sativa strain. Definitely recommend trying it.

Awful combination of paranoia and complete focus. Always makes me feel like I’m having 15 mental breakdowns at once. Avoid this one if you have anxiety.

Daytime favourite. Heightens the senses, makes me feel happy and uplifted. I usually don’t like THC, but this is a great experience. Reduced paranoia and anxiety compared to other strains like it.

This strain makes me feel so relaxed everything seems surreal. I’ve never been so relaxed in my life. For probably the first time ever there was nothing going through my mind. Definitely a great choice to smoke to relieve stress, anxiety, PTSD, & insomnia. Would definitely recommend smoking before starting your day.

Just another strain that gives me anxiety and this one actually gave me a headache too. At least I can say that I found my absolute all time favorite, that will be my Cake the very next day.

I rate it a 3.8, smoked in the morning, didn’t wake me up. Nice calming high that would b nice before bed or if u got an off day smoke anytime if u like indica heavy hybrids. Listening to music and watching movies. Makes you a lil hungry nothin crazy.

happy floating high and intense cotton mouth

A classic, one that you grew up seeing mentioned in movies and magazines. Bud is almost a drab green with burnt orange highlights. Taste is herbal and flowery, really pleasant to smoke. Felt like a bit of creeper. Start to feel effects about 5 minutes in but the effects ramp up for the next 20 minutes.

👍👍👍👍👍👍🤝

This strain is so absolutely AMAZING that my praise might make this review sound disingenuous, but I promise I am sincere. Upon cracking open the jar/bag, you will be greeted by scents reminiscent of a chunk of blue cheese, soaked in diesel fuel, and then rolled in a blend of flowering herbs.

Best weed I’ve ever smoked not gonna lie!
BigBryanSmokes –
Sativa heavy yet keeps you mellow. If you plan to hang out with company or get productive and creative this lemony bud will leave your anxious state behind and let the good times roll.

A fine time, very relaxing high, but I feel awake and present. Goes great with a hit of wax too
Goneagain –
Amazing made me talkative and has euphoric effects. helped me stay focused.
ScottyToStunt –
Good for daytime &am pm pain!

I used a gravity bong to take just one hit. This is a good mood. Husband says he feels “free”. Whatever that means, it’s probably great. Can still carry on a conversation, but there is a bit of soft cloudiness. Can get distracted. It relaxed my body so I’m less tense. Could do some stretching.
Ace Webber –
It had a good aroma earthy but also flower kind.smooth hit
Shayde420 –
Indica-heavy, COUCH LOCKED. strong! one hit wonder. LOVE making and creating things for hours. this really brings out my inner-ADHD and I can stay focused for hours. like i’m in a trance. i can speak to both my higher and lower self. lazy though.
Laurence20 –
Been smoking not long maybe both times combined. Maybe a year? But I found both times that even though it’s a nice earthy smooth taste, and heavenly scent. Each time it’s given me a nice buzz, but near the end of the buzz I get a pounding headache. That’s my only complaint about this strain.

About an hour in, I noticed how alert I was when a train blew its horn a few miles away and I heard it through an open window in my home. I’ve never noticed the train horn before. I am completely relaxed. Happy and content.

My first review, I just smoked AK-47 for the first time, and am thoroughly enjoying it. It really gave me the perfect high…I have been looking for a strain that gives me that mellow, giggly and aware feeling. FOUND it! ( btw…definitely not a newbie toker”
Laroo1999 –
First thing I tried. Took a couple of hits because it didn’t onset right away. When the high came in it hit pretty quick. Made me giggly after first settling in. Hazy short-term memory. Kinda chatty, but had a hard time following a conversation. I listened to music in the dark for a while and could not quite figure out the lyrics.

It makes me feel like a cloud. Like a cloud of love and it gives me the opportunity to think in a loving and tranquil way. I like the warmth that this strain provides. But it also does leave me a little bit too unfocused if I smoke too much.
Vanfrogh –
I’m writing this review high so let’s see how it goes So I decided to get a remote start on my truck so I go to the shop but before that I smoked some ak47 from puffin farm once I get to the shop it’s still to early for the shop to be open so I waited while I was waiting I felt super bored and smoked some ak47 again. This time i was super comfortable.

It makes me feel like a cloud. Like a cloud of love and it gives me the opportunity to think in a loving and tranquil way. I like the warmth that this strain provides. But it also does leave me a little bit too unfocused if I smoke too much. But it’s a great tool for sex.
