Trainwreck is a NorCal classic — Mexican and Thai sativas crossed with Afghani — named for a high that hits like a freight train.

The Story
“Lemon, pine and a spicy, almost menthol bite over earthy sweetness.”
The nose is sharp and distinctive: lemon, pine and a spicy, almost menthol bite over earthy sweetness. The effect is a fast, racing cerebral rush — euphoric, energetic and creative, with enough body to keep it grounded.
It's potent and quick, beloved for daytime energy but capable of tipping racy at high doses. As a parent of Pineapple Express and many others, Trainwreck is a foundational sativa.
