AK-47
Cannabinoids
Potency profile
Lab-reported ranges across multiple harvests. Individual batches will vary; always check the COA on the package.
Mid-to-high potency sativa. The range reflects phenotype variation — start low and work up for new users.
Trace amounts. This is a THC-forward cultivar, not a balanced or CBD-rich variety.
Indica / sativa balance
AK-47 leans clearly sativa but carries a real indica foundation. Uplifting and energizing up front, with a mellow body ease that runs throughout.
- Sativa · 65%
- Cerebral lift, creative energy, social and uplifting.
- Indica · 35%
- Body relaxation and calm without sedation.
Terpenes
Aromatic compounds
Terpenes shape both how AK-47 smells and which effects show up most strongly. Myrcene leads here — it enhances THC absorption and contributes to the aroma.

Sensory
Flavor & aroma
Two overlapping but distinct profiles — what you smell in the jar versus what you taste on the exhale.

Degustation notes
The full experience
A close-read of how AK-47 actually unfolds, from first inhale to final settle.
Effect
AK-47 delivers a very strong and long-lasting cerebral buzz that keeps users mentally alert and engaged in creative or social activities. The high is simultaneously euphoric and physically relaxing, with a reputation as a one-hit-wonder due to its potency — even experienced consumers are advised to approach with respect.
Aroma
The aroma is a complex old-school skunk profile layered with earthy undertones, hints of flowery sweetness, and fresh lemon-citrus overtones. During cultivation the plant produces an extremely strong and pungent odor requiring adequate ventilation and odor control.
Taste
The flavor on inhale is sour and sweet with herbal and earthy notes, transitioning to a lightly spicy and woody exhale with subtle citrus and sandalwood undertones. The smoke is robust yet smooth, carrying a refreshing citrus quality undercut by deeper skunk notes.
