Trainwreck

This sativa-dominant hybrid was developed by cross-breeding three potent varieties of cannabis: Mexican sativa, Thai sativa, and Afghani indica. Though its origins are somewhat shrouded in mystery, it’s believed to have been created by two brothers in Northern California in the 1970s.This herb has a pepper-like flavor and produces a mighty cerebral high. Thrillist warned that too much of this ultra-potent strain “can have you peeking out the windows and calling the cops on yourself.”Because the strain favors sativa over indica by a 70:30 margin, you’re getting a lot of THC without a lot of CBD, and that means a powerful head high. Nevertheless, the indica effects are still present, so the experience can begin as a rush of energy that ultimately plateaus and ends with a lethargic stupor.The high THC content (up to 19%) makes the strain a favorite for combating headaches, chronic pain, and inflammation. Like many medically preferred strains, Trainwreck is also rich in myrcene, a terpene studied for its anti-inflammatory properties. Terpinolene, another abundant terpene found in Trainwreck, is being studied for its anti-cancer and antioxidant properties.
