Trainwreck is a mind-bending, potent sativa with effects that hit like a freight train. Mexican and Thai sativas were bred with Afghani indicas to produce this Northern California staple, passing on a sweet lemon and spicy pine aroma. Trainwreck begins its speedy hurtle through the mind with a surge of euphoria, awakening creativity and happiness. Migraines, pain, and arthritis are mowed down by Trainwreck’s high-THC content, and many patients also use it for relief of anxiety, ADD/ADHD, and PTSD. There are many stories about the origin of the name. Some say growers grew it among a train wreck in Arcata, CA. Others say the plant's sprawling growth resembled a train wreck.

I would never be on this site let alone leaving a post but it was because I read someone else's post that I went for it and I am so glad I did. While I can't get a prescription where I am, I use it as such for an issue with depression/anxiety, problems I've been trying to medicate away in one way or another since I was 11-12 years old. Long story short, it has been such a long time since I've been able to enjoy this, but I can tell you without any restraint that the sticky green buds of Trainwreck will not space you out or leave you stuck on your couch - if you're wise and show a little restraint yourself. Two, maybe three, puffs of this stuff should have you feeling upbeat and a little hungry, happy to help anyone around you in any way you can. It's almost like a Tramadol, a mild sensation, that clears away any aches & pains, soon leaving you in a relaxed, optimistic state.

Oh how I miss you soooo very much. In illinois, I have never seen this in a dispensary. Ever. Yes in a cartridge a time or 2, but we all know that when it's coming from a company that doesn't have that flower, or any company for that matter, they've taken terms that match its flavor and just made it in their lab. This is a one of a kind buzz. I still can reme.ber it to this day. 2 hits and I could feel this exotic , almost wild feeling like I had been thrown on a speeding train ripping through the jungle. Lol. Nothing else like it before or since. Could easily see it being too much for a novice. It could very well wreck your day. Defined for those who are mentally strong. But it made me want to just dance and everything was interesting to me. I was talking to strangers, and had the urge to explore the woods behind a friend's house. But where is this stuff? It's like gone. For years I have looked and nobody knows. Maybe in another state.. idk. But if they'd just grow it in illinois, they'd make a killing off of it. I'd go as far as to say it's almost bucket list material for me at this point. I know there's desire for it because you can find premixed terms for it in mass quantities in every headshop around. I hear oldtimers talk about their wonderful stories with it. It's a shame the closest we can get is the rare pineapple express flower by Cresco. It's half trainwreck so they say. It's gone as soon as it arrives. I've even secured an order of it, and 45 minutes later I show up for it...sold out! Smokers unite! Resurrect this legend! Convince your dispensaries! Talk to growers in the industry! Seeds are available , I've seen them a few times recently. When I say I know of hundreds of people who want this strain, I'm not exaggerating at all. And on the other other end of the spectrum... Hindu kush. Another one I've never seen in illinois. The best thing for insomnia I've ever had. Super couch locker...but great medicine. 100% indica. Un altered. Just as God made it. And it would make killer concentrates as well. Sometimes, the originals are all that is needed. Yeah you can get afghan kush, but it's not the same. Hope this is of help to someone. If you find trainwreck... cherish every toke. You are lucky. God bless!

I’m smoking this UpNorth preroll first thing in the morning on the back patio while drinking my coffee. Barely finished half of the joint (daily smoker) and I’m ready to face the day! Definitely energizing and motivating me to get going. I tried another strain (Afgoo) from this same grower, and so far I’m impressed - with how they burn, hit, and seem to come on so smoothly, whether indica or sativa. This indoor says “total thc 33.84%.”
