While some argue that Red Congolese is an African sativa landrace, the variety popularized in California weaves in Mexican and Afghani roots, giving it a more indica-like appearance. This colorful palette of landrace strains, which had adapted to their environment over many years, creates a complex profile of effects and flavors. The sativa genetics dominate the physical effects of Red Congolese, resulting in a weightless euphoria that promotes focus and mental clarity. Its energizing properties make Red Congolese perfect for morning treatment of nausea, cachexia, tension, or Alzheimer’s.

•Strain: Red Congolese 0.5g •Brand: Moxie/Purepenn •Type: Live resin sugar, sativa dominant •THCA: 73.28% •THC: 1.09% •Lineage: African, Mexican, Afghani •Look: Stable, light yellow •Aroma: Earthy, woody •Taste: Woody, similar to Casey Jones taste •Effects: Balanced, pain free, motivated, positive, hungry •Other Cannabinoids: CBGA-1.83%, CBG-0.65% •Total Cannabinoids: 76.85% •Ranking: 9.7/10 I finally grabbed some Moxie to try after everything yesterday. It was MUCH needed. The taste reminds me a little bit of casey jones, the effects are so motivating the world looks so bright. I was able to completely deep clean my house in a matter of an hour. It's not an overwhelming sativa so give it a try. I will hold onto it as long as I can it's so good!

Holy Sativa Batman! So I know there’s quite a few of us that reach for a coffee or an energy drink to start our morning. Give…give this one a try instead. (Insert nascar engine noises.) this one will wake your ass up and then some. Literally dry herb vaped about a half gram of this AMAZING strain and I was flying thru the clouds and dancing to the rhythm of the earth. Literally can feel the bass drums in your chest. If you are near a dispensary that carries UpNorth Humboldt, keep an eye out for this one. This is a winner!! Very strong (I’m high typing this by the way) euphoric head buzz that radiates down the backs of your legs and makes your feet feel electric. Literally a pre workout type feeling but amplified greatly. I typically stick to my sedating indicas but wow this sativa found a special place in my toolbox! Flavor profile on this one’s a winner too. Spicy citrusy clean feeling in the mouth. Kinda like the orange flavored toothpaste. What’s unique about this one is the flower is SUPER loud like you can smell a cracked jar a few feet away in seconds of opening the jar but the vapor has very little weed smell to it. Very good discrete daytime use strain. The flower is a badass fluffy covered in a nice frosty glaze sprinkled with the most radical red ever!! Definitely lives up to the hype. UpNorth Humboldts box says 39% THC so it’s strong. But rise up to the challenge! Do not fear. This one’s gonna blow your mind!

Not usually big on Sativas. I love them for their unique flavor profiles, terps, smells etc. the high is usually amazing the first joint or bong rip but for me usually comes w a crash and weed hangover side effects(green crack is the worse). That prevent them from being an all day smoke for me. Red Congolese on the other hand is different. No weed hangover. Complete mental clarity and focus in a way that’s hard to describe and unexpected. Especially for a sativa. Tried Red Congolese from The Congo Club based out in Oakland most recently. It’s the only strain this brand grows I believe and it shows. It has a strong cheese/ skunk/ pine that reminds me of Jack strains. Smell for me 5/5 and smell and taste are the most important me. The taste was fresh and reminiscence of smells 4/5. The high is so clear, yet still very strong. It’s different different. Smoke allot for like 10 years now. And haven’t had a strain noticeable melt my stress away and give me so much bliss. High 5/5. Got this strain years ago randomly in an Old Pal sativa 1/8th. The strain was always random. N remember it being some of the best smoke I ever had. And this time cemented it. Prob my fav strain🙏🏿
