STRAIN SPOTLIGHT: SKUNK #1
The Skunk strain has been known as a premium cannabis since long before medicinal marijuana came to fruition in Arizona. Cannabis historians have traced it all the way back to an effort from Sacred Seed Co. in the 1970s. Those legendary cannabis cultivators developed a strand of flower that would go on to become influential for decades to come.
It gets its properties from other prestigious samples that came together from all over the globe. Since the inception of Skunk #1, it’s been used as a parent for some of the other most popular strains in the medicinal cannabis industry. Read on to discover more about the original Skunk, and see if it’s the right option for you.
SKUNK #1 ORIGINS
Skunk is a truly balanced hybrid that derives some of its coveted effects from both indica and sativa strains. Relaxing indica effect come from the pure indica Afghani landrace. This stud of the cannabis world is known for massive resin production, which lends itself nicely to relief for patients with chronic pain, sleeping problems, and various stress-related ailments.
Skunk #1 is a careful mix between Afghani and two effective sativa strains: Acapulco Gold and Columbian Gold. As the regional names may suggest, both of those are also derived from pure landraces. They come from Mexico and South America with good tidings and plenty of energetic effects. Medicinally speaking, both of those strains are absolutely worth their weight in gold for patients who suffer from anxiety, depression, or attention deficit disorders.
Skunk #1 may have done even more for the cannabis industry than the breeders originally realized. It provided a valuable link to legendary cannabis history in a more domesticated strain. Its parents are natural landraces, best suited for organic growth in the great outdoors. As more cannabis cultivation efforts move indoors, the Skunk strain provides a valuable link to the past. The well-balanced effects that have turned it into such a strong starting point for new breeds also make it a treat all by itself.
SKUNK #1 MEDICAL APPLICATIONS
Fans of the Skunk #1 strain have praised it for enabling energy, focus, and creativity. Like some other hybrids, it makes its mark by helping patients get elevate their mood while staying grounded. It doesn’t have the same psychedelically creative effects some sativas do– it allows for inspired thoughts that are consistent with a motivated experience.
Patients get the most out of their uplifted cerebral mood because they also report decreases in pain, muscle spasms, and depression. Physical relief can help people relax, address their appetite, and mitigate ailments without getting excessively sleepy. The well-rounded effects come with very few reported downsides, too.
It’s especially rare for patients to mention any drawbacks more serious than dry mouth or red eyes when they consume Skunk #1.
