Afghani Strain Effects & Common Usage
THC and Afghani’s primary terpene, terpinolene, may influence the production of relaxing and sedating effects that may benefit patients with insomnia.
Hungry. THC is renowned as an appetite stimulant because it increases the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin.
Relaxed. Myrcene and pinene may promote feelings of relaxation.
Euphoria. THC may promote euphoria, likely by promoting the release of dopamine.
Pain. Terpinolene is a terpene with potential anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, as is pinene and myrcene.
Stress. Myrcene has been hailed as a stress reliever in some studies, while THC may be a stress-buster in low doses.
Insomnia. High levels of THC and the presence of the sedating terpene myrcene may guarantee a good night’s sleep.
Afghani Strain Dosage Recommendations
The Afghani strain is typically quite potent, with fast-acting effects. However, to avoid dizziness and other adverse effects, you should start with one to two puffs and wait until the strain’s effects fully surface.
The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
