AK-47 Strain Effects & Common Usage

Energetic. High levels of caryophyllene may help boost mood, potentially leaving you feeling energetic, while pinene is reported to invoke focus and alertness.
Hungry. THC is renowned as an appetite stimulant because it increases the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin.
Talkative. THC element may leave you feeling talkative yet relaxed.
Anxiety. Myrcene and pinene may help reduce feelings of anxiety.
Pain. Along with the pain-relieving potential of THC, the terpenes caryophyllene, pinene, and myrcene have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and may help with pain relief.
Stress. While THC may be a stress-buster in low doses, myrcene has been hailed as a stress reliever in some studies.
AK-47 Strain Dosage Recommendations
AK-47 contains between 19% and 23% THC, so it’s best consumed in low doses. Begin with 1-2 inhales, hold for 1-3 seconds, and exhale, waiting for 15 to 30 minutes before inhaling more. If the THC hits too hard, take a break.
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.
