AK-48 (Sweet Leaf)
AK-48 Medicinal Marijuana Strain Review
From: Sweet Leaf
Grade: A
Type: Hybrid Indica dominant. (The father is Jock Horror, a three-way hybrid that combines genetics from Northern Lights, Skunk, and Haze. Its Ice mother has ancestors of Afghani, Skunk, Northern Lights and Shiva stock.)
Price: $50/8th
Appearance: Beautiful. I knew right when I pulled this bud out to photograph it was fire.
Aroma: A faint clean(lemon?) piney smell
Taste: This one tasted like outside on a damp spring day, think fresh growth with wet pavement that was just pinesol’d. Medium expansion.
Buzz Type: Strong body without couchlock. This is one of my favorite Indica hybrids to date. It was potent and you are comfortable sitting and relaxing, but cognizant enough to take care of business or have meaningful interaction if needed. Time flew by.
Buzz Length: Long. 2.5 – 3 hours
Medicinal Use: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Absolutly good for leg pain – mine is a combination of muscle cramps/spasms and strong internal bone aches that doctors can’t diagnose. I did get an appetite about an hour in.
Overall: This is a bud I will go back for again and again. Perfect summer afternoon chill or go out and hang with friends, very versatile with relaxing overtones. Many of today’s multi-breed strains seem more like abominations and fail to provide me with a real identity of their own, but the AK-48 takes all its ancenstry in stride and presents itself like an original.

Hello,
I am the grower responsible for the A.K. 48 that you have featured in this photograph (obviously i can verify that for you with gabe at sweetleaf). I have finally opened the doors at my own shop after months of exhausting work. I was wondering if you were interested in coming by to take a look and possibly review one or more of our other strains. I have a couple that I think are also good candidates. I was not sure how else to contact you, as I didn’t notice a contact us page. My name is Jeremy K. at The Wellness Shop 5885 E. Evans Ave, 80222 303-756-3762. We are open m-s 10a-7p and sun 11a-4p. Let me know if you have any questions or need any more info from me. Thanks, Jeremy
Great review. I just started flowering 5 of these, it will be my first time trying the AK-48. I bought the seeds because it indicated it is good as medical marijuana.
I am already on the Chemo, not sure if I am really going to let them radiate me (Prostate cancer. My old man died of it only 5 years ago. Apparently, mine is crazy aggressive…but I may need my manhood someday, so…ya know…dilemma…live, or live longer not alive?) Yeah, I am glad these are supposed to be non-super tall (Just harvested Haze 1) and your review makes me feel I made the correct choice. I do like the reference to couch lock avoidance. I like to get the feeling I can “Split wood, right now!”
or, “I should play one of these guitars. Or This is the most interesting Ancient Aliens ever, and…I am not thinking of cancer! Yay me!”
anyway, Thanks.

Thank you.
