Skunk #1 Strain Overview
Considered a reasonably calming yet energizing strain, Skunk #1 is a globally acclaimed cross between Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Colombian Gold varieties that first rose to prominence in the late 1970s. Born to Sacred Seeds and Cultivators Choice, its seeds have since been harvested by world-famous breeders like Dutch Passion, Flying Dutchmen, Nirvana Seeds, Royal Queen Seeds, and Sensi Seeds.
Reported to be suitable as an aid for increasing appetite, creativity, and happiness, the Skunk #1 weed strain is said to deliver high-energy effects interwoven with stress relief. It smells like earthy, sour skunk, and its fuzzy purple-hued nugs are cloaked in a shimmering armor of THC (17%) trichomes.

Skunk #1 Strain Effects & Common Usage
THC may promote euphoric and appetite-boosting sensations commonly associated with Skunk #1. At the same time, the small addition of CBD may aid in the potential anti-anxiety effects of myrcene, pinene, and limonene.
Creative. Many users have reported that THC-dominant strains with high levels of limonene may boost creativity and imagination.
Hungry. THC is renowned as an appetite stimulant because it increases the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin.
Energetic. Pinene is reported to invoke focus and alertness.
Anxiety. Myrcene and pinene may help reduce feelings of anxiety.
Depression. Pinene has been shown in studies to help induce anti-depressant effects.
Stress. The stress-relieving potential of limonene may be attributed to its influence on mood disorders such as anxiety.
