This is a classic home grown ganja in Cape Town S.A. it's called "tarry" and for sure it makes you worry, but very productive and growns anywhere in Africa

I'm more of an edible/vapor partaker than a smoking connoisseur. But I do lk trying the different strains n seeing what lives up 2 the hype. I tried African Skunk which has a strong pine n earthy smell. Take a deep whiff of this 1 u will definitely feel a lil sumpin' sumpin' on the inhale. This strain has a dull green color w numerous crystals n seeds thru the dried leaves. This would b great 2 make a concentrate o dab of some sort. When I crushed the leaves w my fingers it left tons of resin on my fingers. Another pos was the numbing tingle on my tongue, i did feel just a lil spurt of energy w a tiny bit of relaxation from this sativa. However when I smoked it n my pipe there was no euphoria, creative o hungry vibes. Just a bit of a headache n stomach ache 10-15 min after smoking it. Smoked a B n felt a lil more of the relaxation n bit of a tingle n the frt of my brain. Almost lk it wanted 2 take me there but not quite the screaming O I was expecting. Next I will try steeping as a tea n c what it do. Again I think this would b a great choice 4 concentrates o some sort but I wouldn't recommend this 4 the smoke. I wouldn't even use this 4 my canna sugar I make. The aroma n resin was the only reason this strain got 3 stars. Mayb that's y ppl r mixing African Skunk w chemicals 2 intensify its effects. Just remember if u mixing your weed w chems then its no longer natural. N it can give u the same side effects o worse as taking the junk the drs give us.

I had some Angola gold. The taste and smell were really good. But the effects were lacking a little. I would chose something else next time.

"African" is being used here as a blanket term for "all African landrace strains." That includes Durban Poison, Malawi Gold, Swazi Gold, Congolese, Kilimanjaro (Kenya landrace), Mozambika, Swazi Redbeard, Ethiopian, Kwazulu (SA), Zamal, Angola Gold, and countless others. Unless you yourself have smoked any of these strains and they were grown and cured properly, you probably don't know what the African continent has to offer the cannabis world. These are some of the most uplifting, energetic, clear-headed and actually *medicinal* strains in the world, and many of them are still in their pure un-hybridized form (it's very hard to find pure unadulterated landraces anymore). African landrace strains are said to contain the highest THCV-a content of any other place in the world - this cannabinoid contributes to a more energetic buzz and is an appetite *suppressant*, not an appetite stimulant like THC. It is being researched as a treatment for Parkinsons and other diseases. It is one of the promising cannabinoids like CBD which could have many uses in the medical community. And it is found most commonly in African landrace strains. So, to get a bit of the African experience, first go try some real Durban (half the "Durban Poison" I find in dispensaries is some complete different strain) - it should smell like mint spices and jasmine (some people say licorice) the smell is what gives away real Durban; if it smells kind of Skunky, it's from one of the many seedbanks who cross their Durban with Skunk #1 to shorten flowering time, and is NOT pure Durban. Then get your hands on some Malawi, and maybe some Congolese or Swazi Gold, because in the USA that's about all that circulates for the public, and even that is not easy to find. Or track down these seed lines and grow them yourself - there are a couple seed companies that still have these strains although they can be hard to obtain.

🔥 • this review is for an 85.3%-THC Sour African/South African Skunk wax, which apparently is a cross of African Haze & AJ's Sour Diesel. [CT MMJ Sat Z, from Advanced Grow Labs] • 🔥 • almost-immediate cessation + relief from nausea & anxiety, while pain has decreased from 7 to a 4, so i can't complain; high terp-profile on (AJ's) Sour Diesel ensures a MOST-delicious flavor; and the cerebral high|euphoria makes this strain a very special treat! • 👌🏻🌌

The most impressive part of a Kenyan strain was the amount of crystals on the flower. It actually looked like a geode in the random crevices of the bud. I concentrated some BHO from it, and the crystals were sparkling in the wax, after the butane evaporated, and it was chilling in my silicon tray. The concentrate is awesome, and it has a strong flavor of garlic to me, and a hint of a black pepper taste. It gives me a long, fairly energetic high, but as a concentrate, it's a little harsh on my lungs, not my throat though. It's an excellent strain. The only reason I know it's a Kenyan strain (African on Leafly), is because I tested it with a cannabloic fingerprint test kit. It was pretty much an exact match for the fingerprint provided in the manual for a Kenyan strain. Only after reading on Leafly did I learn the "African" strains have the highest levels of THCV, which was confirmed on the fingerprint test I did.

Use in very small doses if prone to anxiety or unusual experiences. 1 pinch of bud over 3 large passion flower joints works well for me for Fibro pain without the anxiety. works in a pinch.
