I tried ACDC on the advice of my doctor. It is not at all appropriate for pain for me. I was doubled up all night awake. The anxiety was terrible and I never get anxiety as a side effect. It sent my head spinning out of control and made my ADHD symptoms insanely worse. The "cerebral" effect and creativity that was described didn't exist. There was very little cascade effect for my GI symptoms either. I was still vomiting, had nausea and no appetite. in fact I found the pharmaceutical Marinol much more appropriate in this case. I felt that trying it was a waste of my time and money. I will look for something much more balanced and less heady in the future. More THC and a lot less CBD.

ACDC has been a lifesaver. I have been suffering from severe anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD after a very traumatic life event about a year ago. I’ve tried prescription medication and nothing helps as much as ACDC does. It’s the only thing that helps me feel happy and normal. I know I can count on it if I feel a panic attack coming on. I am not the same person I used to be since the trauma, but ACDC really helps me move about my life with confidence that I have something that will actually help me cope. I appreciate this strain and it’s medicinal properties.

One of the best strains for ingested long lasting pain relief for me. I make Microwaved Firecrackers with peanut butter and Ritz crackers. Half a small bowl of ACDC bud, bake 22 minutes in an oven at 310 Gives me about four hours of pain relief without ANYCe psycho tropic affect. No dizziness or over-the-top euphoria but a substantial reduction of pain and the stress that usually accompanies pain.

The pheno I have sets in behind your eyes first making my arms and legs heavy. The heft clears within minutes though making way for a clear headed, energetic “high” with little to no perceivable intoxication. Focused, still able to think, no anxiety or paranoia. Terrible just before bed. Keeps me thinking about all sorts of little projects I can do like starting new strains or rearranging my grow setup, etc... but great during the day. Mine really dislikes soil but loves coco. She needs constant foliar calmag in Veg but is fine in flower (calmag in the water exceeds 15ml/gal which is ridiculous and costly, hence the foliar). Surprisingly dense bud structure as well as trichomes density. Two thumbs up 👍👍 -Aedifex

I got the distillate (super high thc content wax) of this strain and it’s such an odd experience to be smoking such a high thc% on a mostly CBD weed the effects are very odd since they don’t really resemble the effects of the CBD and all I can really say is that I literally can’t care about anything when I smoke this it’s scary, I started smoking when I got up in the morning like every morning on my porch and my sprinklers turned on and I shit you not I just got done staring at one of them for like 20 or 30 minuets straight because I was absolutely mesmerized on the way it moved and after an experience like this I had to review it.

Even though my AC/DC only has 5% CBD, it's still amazing. I'm extremely sensitive to THC so I was worried that even 1% would be too much, but it's perfect. Just the "kick" that was lacking in the Cherry Wine hemp I've been smoking (which incidentally has more CBD at 14% but undetectable levels of THC). ACDC's smell is a light citrus (lemon-lime) scent with mild pine undertones. Definitely some limonene & pinene in there. The effects are soaring & calm at the same time. Feels like it's clearing the cobwebs & fog out of my brain. It's a lot less "heavy" than the super-high CBD stuff I've been using, which hits me in the back of the head & often triggers mild migraine/head pain. I'd love to try ACDC from a dispensary to see if the effects are similar to the stuff I've got. I'd rate this a solid 4 in terms of effects, though the looks are less than impressive lol. It's bone dry & the buds are teeny tiny. You can still see the frosty stuff though if you look really close :)

Does anyone know when this will be available again in Il? This is the only strain that helps all of my conditions and I've been out for months and months. I need to medicate properly

Just grinded up about a 3/4grm. bud in my new Tsunami grinder. Rolled it all up (perfect fit) in a Strawberry White Owl, which smelled great but not much Strawberry flavor. The ACDC is soo smooth, no harshness whatsoever even in a blunt. Within minutes I felt a slight head high (nothing overwhelming) and thought I was gonna start feeling paranoid...but never did. It's like my mind was trying to trick me into paranoia but the ACDC stopped it and reverted my thought process is a better direction (kinda crazy actually lol) I can even tell by how much I'm writing that it's given me more patience and making me WANT to write this review. Oh...lol....so I smoked about half the blunt, maybe 10 hits, then put it out. Once I felt sure that I wasn't gonna freak out I decided to smoke a little more, maybe 5 more hits. At about that time I noticed the body relaxation really kicked in and my thoughts slowed down even more (a good thing) then put it out and right away wanted to review it for you guys =) I'll leave it at this...if you were a heavy heavy smoker and had to quit due to crippling paranoia but always missed smoking and wanted to be able to smoke again REALLY bad but couldn't...get yourself some effin ACDC dude...like for real tho! haha...I'm out!
