ACDC reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain ACDC.
I recently began using ACDC to help treat my chronic migraine with aura, depression (MDD), anxiety, PTSD, autoimmune disease, acid reflux (GERD), and some other comorbid conditions resulting in chronic pain. So far, it has been the best option I've tried for daily medical use for my personal needs.
Results
I've found it helps with my chronic migraines, inflammation, pain, and GERD quite effectively, while not providing very much of a mentally 'high' effect, although it still carries the risk of causing overdose symptoms if used in excess.
In addition, while it feels physically quite relaxing and calming, I've found it doesn't appear to medicate my depression, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms as effectively as other strains I've used. My go-to currently is Orange Creamsicle for these needs, as it also alleviates my migraine, chronic pain, inflammation, and GERD, and tastes absolutely wonderful.
However, this drawback by no means makes ACDC any less useful. To accommodate this personal need, I simply take a single small drag of Orange Creamsicle every 3 hours and it's the perfect dose for the mental pick-me-up I need throughout the day before then swapping back to ACDC for the rest of the day to better regulate my migraines, pain, and inflammation without experiencing significant mind-altering effects.
Where I live, it was a 3-hour drive round trip to my nearest dispensary carrying ACDC as an oil concentrate. Even so, after discovering how much it has improved my quality of life, I will definitely be making trips back for more in the future.
I gave my lungs a break this week by using just tinctures. I felt some effect using those sublingually with no fat for the THC to bind with, just my body's heat under my tongue, but not to the degree of smoking, vaping, or dabbing. Because more vivid dreams have been invading my sleep this week, I know my tolerance to THC has dropped a bit. This Saturday morning I decided to treat myself to a lil' vape of AC/DC, a high CBD sativa dominant strain.
My AC/DC is from Green Dragon Extracts and tested at 9.94% THC and 66.3% CBD. I have some minor health issues going on right now and today was wanting a small amount of THC as I try to lower my tolerance, and wanting more CBD in hopes of it helping me out medicinally.
AC/DC has a pleasant unique taste to it, like eucalyptus with lightly woody notes. As I inhale, I instantly think of koala bears gnawing on AC/DC cannabis leaves with big grins on their faces.
While it's only making me mildly high (I'm vaping a concentrate, not smoking flower here) I do feel my mood improving. I know that cancer patients use this strain for pain and the effects from chemo, and that makes me fall further in love with cannabis. I have some anxiety and AC/DC keeps my mood elevated and even.
ACDC CBD Flower Review
Bag Appeal: Dense, medium sized buds in a uniform middle-dark green, with tons of rust colored hairs and rust colored trichomes smelling of funky cheese, fruit, earth, and pine.
Combustion: Smooth, sweet sativa herb, with lots of skunk, pine, and spicy black pepper up front chased by subtle hints of black licorice, tropical fruit, and woody earth.
Effects: Head up. Body balanced. 1 small bowl (5-10) hits gave noted pain relief in shoulders, chest, and back. Soothing sensation behind the eyes and slightly numb extremities. Mood lift/mild euphoria and anxiety relief. Distinct physical relaxation all over the body as every muscle loosens involuntarily. Mildly dizzy head buzz with a strong uplifted sativa "party" energy that gently glides down into a soft, relaxing chill over 20 minutes or so. Initial effects might be overwhelming for novice cannabis users, so I recommend starting slow with just a few hits to see where you end up before ripping an entire bowl. Physical and mental effects linger quietly in the background for about 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Overall: Suitable for both daytime and early evening use, pairs well with relaxing morning coffee as well as afternoon yard work and early evening grillouts. This was my daily go to bud every morning and afternoon until the entire bag was used up! Highly recommended! Will buy again soon!
My background: Over 20 years of delightful cannabis toking including 1 year of cbd flower experience.
One of the best strains I’ve tried for chronic back pain and anxiety. I bought a NG&W “joos” vape pen with AC/DC after all the positive reviews. In low doses or small puffs it chills you out and takes away all my pain. Also really helps with my anxiety as it is very rampant and can get worse from certain THC high strains. When taking large hits or multiple puffs, this puts me into total relaxation and zero anxiety. I definitely get “high” from larger hits from this strain but not the same as my vape pens that are 70-80% THC. Also a good tool if you get a little too high from another strain this will help ease you down and chill you out. 10/10 especially the joos vape pen version.
3:1 CBD to THC vape cart. Very mild. A little mood boost without feeling noticeably “stoned”. This is a strain I’ve been wanting for a while but never come across before because the cannabis market has become so saturated with high potency products. It’s nice to have a low potency option for those times when I just want to take the edge off and not get high.
A great strain to come back to after abstaining for a few months. It's nearly impossible to smoke too much AC/DC. Quite a different experience for someone used to eating homemade moon rock edibles. Makes me feel hyper aware of my muscle tension and poor posture. Definitely inspires one to stretch and move about. Would be amazing to use before a yoga practice. Makes me feel much more in my body versus my mind. Slows down and clarifies racing thoughts. If you're looking for a strain to really weigh you down, this isn't it. You will able to remain mobile while smoking this. It has a light piney and lemony flavor. Makes me crave sweets quite a bit as well.

This gets me through the day. It calms me enough to focus. Perfect for my ADHD. It also helps my patience at work. I'm often annoyed at the stupidity of other people. I'm not saying they actually are but this is how I feel, like I'm always talking to a child. This gets rid of that and allows me to remain calm and chill while I'm trying IT directors how basic IT works.
