AK-47 was developed in the Netherlands in the early 1990s by Serious Seeds. The original strain combines cannabis genetics from four geographical regions:
The precise breeding process remains proprietary, but these four regional lineages form the recognised genetic background of the original AK-47.
The first version of the AK-47 was created in 1992 and it soon gained popularity among the Dutch cannabis users during the next few years.
AK-47 is named after the potency of this particular strain as opposed to where it came from. Although AK-47 has no relation to the firearm that it is named after, it eventually became known and well-established throughout many cannabis breeders’ catalogs.
Also by the late 90’s AK-47 had become one of the most recognized strains through winning several awards in cannabis competitions such as the High Times Cannabis Cup.This success led to additional hybridization of cannabis.
The AK-47 has a pungent earthy odor that includes herbal and woody scents. There are spicy nuances that create a sharpness in addition to sweet notes that soften it as a whole.
AK-47 has an aromatic flavor (or at least some people perceive one) which can have hints of flowers, or skunk depending on what specific AK-47 you grow or purchase.
These aspects will vary depending on your growing process, how dry you dry, cure, and store the product.
Users have reported that AK-47 creates subjective experiences:
THC is the primary psychoactive compound found in marijuana. 22 percent THC content is relatively high.
Several elements contribute to the intensity of THC’s effects on an individual (i.e., the level of tolerance that individual has toward THC, the dose of THC consumed and how the substance was ingested). Furthermore, higher doses of THC can lead to a greater risk of experiencing adverse effects (e.g. anxiety, disorientation/dizziness and impairment) due to increased sensitivity and potential for uncontrolled dosing.
Terpenes are naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. They contribute to differences in scent between cannabis varieties.
