Trainwreck

Trainwreck is said to blend Mexican, Thai and Afghani landrace genetics, and it earned a following in the underground scene of the early 1990s. Our record lists Afghani, Mexican Sativa, Thai and Hashplant as parents. Beyond that, details are thin.

Crushed classes it as a hybrid with a single THC reading of 25.15%, a high number for a strain that predates the dessert era. Only two terpenes are on file: beta-myrcene at 0.63% and beta-caryophyllene at 0.17%. Flavor tags are sweet and earthy, and effects read happy, energetic and creative, with dry eyes, dizzy, headache and dry mouth noted as side effects.

The name is commonly explained as describing how hard the effects hit, which is folklore, not data. A strong THC figure plus a long side-effect list argues for caution: this is not an ideal first strain, and a small amount is plenty for a trial. Daytime creative work is the setting most users tend to describe, though everyone's tolerance differs.
