Super Skunk Strain

The Super Skunk Strain is known globally for its unique “hybrid” qualities. It is loved for its distinct and famously fragrant “skunky” scent and for producing the perfect high that allows you to loosen up. Super Skunk sinks you into a deep state of relaxation, while still being in a clear state of concentration and clarity.

A much-appreciated strain among amateur hobby-smokers and professional cannabis judges, the Skunk line of cannabis has a unique story of origin. Super Skunk is a popular and largely indica strain.

It was created by crossing Skunk 1 with an original Afghani strain. With this cross, the breeder, Sensei Seeds, refers to the strain as the “first hybrid breeding project” with Afghani roots – an upgraded “super” version of its original Skunk #1.

Super Skunk Aroma and Flavors

Super Skunk has a pungent aroma. Some people say that the smell reminds them of pungent cheese that has been left in the sun. However, when you get past the initial harsh taste, you are treated to a hidden sweetness. When you grind the buds apart, they emit a smell reminiscent of fresh honey.

On first inhale, you are hit with a save of flavors that somehow overwhelming but settle on your tongue offering a complex yet enjoyable flavor. But you will mainly feel the sweetness. As the flavor develops, you can now distinguish between the sweet citrus and the earthy undertones. The smoke is smooth making it easy to inhale

Super Skunk Adverse reactions

Super Skunk cannabis has a body-heavy effect which can lead to side effects like blood-shot eyes and dry mouth. In more extreme cases users experience temporary deliria and mild paranoia.

Nervousness and anxiety has also been observed in some cases, due to its “clear head” effects, patients may become confused by the slowing down effect Super Skunk may have on their bodies, while their minds and thoughts stay switched on.

Another unpopular side effect is that Super Skunk can cause the “munchies”, leading to a strong surge in appetite and the absence of the feeling of fullness. This, however,  is purely a matter of perspective, given that Super Skunk is also used to treat patients who suffer from a lack of appetite.
