Platinum Afghani Cannabis Cultivar (“Strain”) Review
Aroma: 3.5/5
Jar cracked and it’s straight GMO funk. Earthy dirt smell, raw and natural. Nothing sweet, nothing extra — just that garlic/earth GMO lane.
Break Down: 4/5
Solid structure, broke apart clean. Not overly sticky but rolled up smooth, no shake or dust. Easy to work with, no issues getting it ready.
Taste: 4/5
Smoke came across exactly like the nose — earthy, dirt-heavy with that garlic edge. Burned smooth and even, flavor stayed consistent all the way through the blunt.
High: 3/5
Expected a heavy Afghan couch-lock, but this leaned light. Had me alert and focused instead of mellow or knocked down. Functional buzz more than a stoner high.
Duration: 3.5/5
Held about 40–45 minutes before tapering off into a light fade. No crash, just a quick come down compared to heavier strains.
Overall: 3.5/5
Cool smoke to try, but not one I’d pick up again. More about the GMO taste than the effect. Didn’t deliver that knockout I wanted from an Afghani cross, but still a solid roll.
