Named for Earth's second highest mountain peak, K2 is sure to leave you at a higher elevation. The mellow flavor is accented with hints of fruit and spice, and the captivating aroma helped to make it a staple at coffee shops in Amsterdam. A cross between White Widow and Hindu Kush, this dependable Dutch hybrid first attracted growers for its compact stature, while the relaxing indica effects have kept consumers who battle anxiety and insomnia asking for more.

Crossing these two strains, gets you some nice and dense buds that in my opinion, stand as very nice choice for daytime anxiety. For night sessions, staying awake won't necessarily be a struggle, though I'd expect to be rather calm after plasma THC concentration starts to fall.

I know for alot this is good for insomnia. I originally bought it for that. I expected to sleep. However, I was surprised to realize that after smoking I had no anxiety, no pain, my neuro glitchy stuff stopped, and I felt closest to what I could describe as normal. I don't get sleepy. I just feel good like I can get through my day without feeling like complete garbage. I'm on the spectrum and have eds and all my glitchy stuff and joint pain disappears when I use it.

Not the best strain ive smoked but also not the shittiest strain. For me the high slowly builds up and at the end of the night i can sleep better for sure thanks to this strain.

Compact mostly dark green buds, smell is not really clear or heavily present. The taste is hard to define as well, a bit earthy and woody, leaving a burning sensation at the top of the throat, wich is also the only real spot for cottonmouth. The effects are 'just chill', they're not heavy or overpowering, I can easily have two spliffs of this and not feel paranoid or completely couchlocked. Which is typical for this strain. I consider it a true hybrid. The body has a slight tingling sensation and the mind is relaxed but not too clouded. A bit of time dostortion sets in later on, but leaves you capable of getting stuff done. Thus K2 might be an excellent daytime medication for some, but since I use recreationally I'm not sure it would kill pain or relax muscles as much as you need. At higher doses slight CEV's, and it does help you relax your mind to fall asleep, instead of punching you out like stronger types do. It's the balance, more than the strength of the effects and my personal preference that make me rate this 4 stars.

This strain hits smoothly and gives you a nice, warm feeling. It’s not a beginners strain. I suffer from bad anxiety, and K2 really helps me chill the f down. One of my top 3 for sure 🤯❤️
