Trainwreck was created out of Mexican and Thai sativa, that was cleverly crossed with an Afghani indica.

The result is a sativa-dominant hybrid, with a potentially heavy indica couch-lock.

This makes Trainwreck an effective sedative, very compatible with slow down sundays and afternoons that are tasked to be simple relaxing.

This strain has an above average THC level, recorded at an average of 20% or above, and is therefore also much-wanted and needed as a useful medical strain.
