Train Wreck

Trainwreck Strain

Trainwreck is a hybrid that is slightly Sativa dominant. Trainwreck will leave users with a clean mental high whilst also putting the body into a state of relaxation. It is a good mix of both a cerebral and whole-body high. This is another strain with mysterious origins. The name is allegedly attributed to the story of the original growers of the strain, who had to uproot their crops due to a nearby trainwreck.
The California growers, fearing discovery, had to leave and plant themselves elsewhere. Trainwreck hails from Northern California and is a mix of Mexican and Thai Savita’s with Afghan Indica’s. The effects of Trainwreck are most commonly described as euphoric, happy and uplifting. It leaves a very nice and relaxing high and is very popular among cannabis users. What makes Trainwreck stand out from other strains is that it gives excellent cerebral Sativa effects while also giving the full body high associated with Indica’s. It really is the best of both worlds and is popular for a reason. Trainwreck is moderately high in THC and is known to be effective in terms of increasing creative capacity.
