Yield – 400 – 500 g/m2 Climate – Dry Indoor Cultivation Average Height High THC Content Not Medical Short Flowering Time (45-55 days) Type Regular Hybrid Ever since the mid 90′s, AK marijuana strains have been on the rise in popularity. If you are looking for a strain that has a short flowering time, then this AK-48 is one of the most potent available. The aroma that comes from the plant is both penetrating and exceptional. Though the plant is described as a hybrid, the high it produces tends to favor sativas a little more. In most cases, this strain will finish growing in about 48 days. And while most growers might prefer a longer growing time, the buds this plant produces are better than your average buds. This strain is an indica sativa hybrid so you will be feeling effects of both these kinds of weed. A short flowering time will also help you get your yield more quickly. As it is not medical marijuana, card holders might want to think twice before ordering this strain. With a high THC content, you can be sure that this strain will get you high every single time.   It is meant for dry, indoor cultivation so make sure to adhere to these standards when growing it. And finally, a large weed of 400 – 500 g/m2 keeps all of the...

When one is smoking, one question seems to come up in their head over and over again. Does smoking weed kill brain cells? While it is an age old question, the verdict is still out as to the exact answer. While it was recently believed that weed indeed did kill brain cells, some new studies show that this may not be the case as previously thought. Even though weed is the second most widely used recreational drug worldwide, there are certainly many reasons one might want to stay away. Some of these reasons include short term memory loss, loss of basic motor skills, heart palpitations, and extreme laziness. But apart from these side effects, there is little to fear from the plant. Marijuana grows in the ground naturally which is more than can be said for other harder drugs today. Old Government Studies First and foremost, it is important to note that many other recreational drugs have also been proven to cause brain damage. Even substances that are widely accepted like alcohol can cause such damage. There were a series of studies done on monkeys many years ago upon which lots of people base their ideas of weed killing brain cells. These studies have since been debunked and most governmentofficials now admit that smoking weed will not cause the death of brain cells. While this isn’t to say that weed...

There are many different ways to smoke weed these days with new advances in technology and general human advancement. Even though there is not one sure way to please every smoker, most people like to smoke out of either glass, papers, or vaporizers. Each way has its advantages and disadvantages and opinion about the three varies from user to user. No matter what it is that you prefer smoking out of, you can be sure that you will run into other like minded individuals that think the same way that you do.Even though smoking weed does have several harmful side effects, it is widely considered the safest recreational drugs used today. It is one of the only drug which is completely natural and grows in the ground just like any other plant. Marijuana is not perfect, but it is definitely better for the user than other harder drugs. Glass Bongs and Pipes One of the most standard ways of smoking cannabis is through glass. While pipes and bongs are very different devices, the basic idea remains the same between the both of them. A pipe is basically a single piece of blown glass with a chamber, a bowl, and a carb hole. The bowl is where one puts their weed and the chamber is for holding the smoke that ensues from smoking the plant. A bong is a bit...

Even though many people try to show marijuana in a bad light, there are many benefits to be had from smoking the plant. It is indeed a very good alternative to lots of other substances that people use recreationally as it causes far less harm to the body. The high produced when smoking marijuana is also very mild in comparison to other drugs and gives users more of a relaxed feeling. This along with many other factors makes marijuana the second most widely used recreational drug on the planet coming in second only to alcohol. Many people like a buzz at the end of the day to calm their nerves and to get ready to go to sleep. Marijuana is a much safer alternative to other harder substances that are still in use today. What Can Smoking Weed Do for You? One of the best things about smoking marijuana is that it does not make users violent, or make them fiend for more of the stuff when they run out. Many other substances can produce a high with a manic feeling to it until the inevitable crash hours later. Marijuana’s subtle high gives just enough feeling but without all of the nasty side effects that other drugs can cause. When other drugs are being used, violence often ensues and this effects not only the user, but those around them...

Smoking cannabis can have many different effects on the body. These effects run the scale from good to bad, but there are many more on the good side for this plant. Many other substances may give more potent highs than marijuana does, but the negative side effects caused by them are downright awful. Now don’t get me wrong, over a long time of abuse, marijuana can lead to some negative side effects too like lung disease and heart problems. The thing is that these side effects occur at a much slower rate than one would experience if using a harder drug. No matter what the substance one is using, it should be used in moderation so as not to form bad habits. If you enjoy your marijuana only every now and then, you can still live a long and healthy life. The Problems with Marijuana Just like any other substance, the long term use of cannabis can have adverse effects on the body. The most obvious of these effects are problems with the respiratory system. As you may already know, smoking is not a healthy habit to get into as it damages the lungs. Though smoking tobacco can accelerate these effects further, smoking marijuana can have much the same effects on one’s body in the long run. Coughing and the production of phlegm are some of the first signs...

Addiction Is Everywhere Many of those who smoke marijuana are constantly wondering whether or not the plant is addictive. This is a tough question to answer and most testing results so far have been inconclusive. One recent study shows that of recreational pot users, around ten to thirty percent will develop some form of dependency with the substance. Furthermore, nine percent of these users will develop problems consistent with serious addiction. While most people can smoke a little weed on the weekends and not have to worry about long term consequences like addiction, the fact is that a small percentage of users are at risk for these consequences. Even though it is easily one of the least harmful substances out there today, the fact that users can become addicted should raise some serious red flags for those who smoke cannabis without fear. One of the main reasons that people believe marijuana to not be addictive is the lack of serious withdrawal symptoms when attempting to get off the drug. This lack of symptoms enables users to quit more easily than if they were to try kicking another substance like nicotine or cocaine. Some of the withdrawal symptoms reported when trying to quit marijuana are sleep disturbances, nausea, anxiety, and depression. In short, the reason that most believe that marijuana is not addictive is because getting off of other, harder...

Different Names for Different Places When one is purchasing cannabis, it is a good idea to know what kind of strain you are getting. The terminology can vary from region to region, so what is good in one location may not necessarily be as good in another. However, any seasoned bud smoker can tell the difference between good and bad weed simply by how it looks and smells. If you aren’t confident in your ability to determine the quality of your marijuana, then it might be a good idea to have a more experienced smoker come along for the ride. Picking up marijuana on the street is just asking for a bad price as one can get a medical marijuana card easily these days with very little money down. In the end, most of the marijuana one purchases will get them high. It is only a matter of how high they will get from strain to strain. As I said before, there are all kinds of different names for good and bad bud and they vary from place to place. In the greater Los Angeles area, there are lots of different terms used to refer to all kinds of marijuana. Kush is generally reserved for the best weed. Many strains one can pick up at dispensaries have Kush in their names and they are usually good strains. The next...

Those that smoke marijuana will be the first to tell you that ingesting the plant is much better for the body than smoking it. But how can you eat such a thing without that awful taste? Edibles are a good option because they are rather easy to make and the flavor of the cannabis gets lost in the goodness of whatever it is you’re eating. Another interesting option is making marijuana tea. While this practice is certainly less popular than baking the plant into edibles, it can still be just as potent and rewarding if one takes the time to do it right. It is a little more difficult than boiling some marijuana leaves in hot water, but not that much more difficult. And the end result is all worth it if the tea was made correctly. THC in Boiling Water The problem with trying to make marijuana tea in nothing but water is that THC is not very soluble in water. This means that no matter how long one boils the leaves for, the potency of their drink will not increase very much. This is why it is a good idea to add another liquid to the solution. There are many things that will get the job done such as butter, honey, whole milk, and even hard liquor. Adding this to your tea will greatly increase its potency....

The history of marijuana is a rich one filled with exciting twists and turns and all kinds of things one wouldn’t expect. There are two distinct types of marijuana which are sativa and indica. Today, two sides of the marijuana debate continue argue with one another. The more traditional view is that as marijuana is considered a drug, it is not safe for consumption and smoking marijuana needs to be stopped completely. But increasingly more people are starting to come to terms with the fact that marijuana is a recreational substance that more and more people are starting to use worldwide. Medical marijuana programs exist for those with medical conditions, but the drug still remains illegal for those without a card. Only time will tell what the fate of cannabis will be. Marijuana in Ancient Times Since the ancient date of 2737 B.C., people have been using marijuana for both its medicinal and its euphoric properties. Shen Nung, the emperor of China at the time, was the first to call cannabis a psychoactive drug. But for much of its early use, marijuana was more valued as medicine than it was a recreational drug. The emperor stated that marijuana was useful for absent-mindedness, malaria, rheumatism, and gout. While treating absent-mindedness might be a bit of a stretch, cannabis was commonly used to treat these illnesses in ancient times. Marijuana was...

The Debate It is no secret that cannabis has gone through many many years of both widespread favor and disapproval all throughout the world. Today, the view on the drug is a very mixed one with no clear cut winner. Though it is quite harmless compared to other substances, many people still hold the idea that it will lead users to other drugs and that it has serious long term side effects. While it does result in the typical side effects one would expect from smoking, smoking marijuana causes much less harm to the body than drugs such as alcohol which is perfectly legal. In the United States, more and more states are beginning to partially legalize marijuana with the medical marijuana program. Though not supported by the federal government, these programs continue to flourish in new locations. Medical marijuana is reserved for patients who have a legitimate medical condition with which the drug can help. The card can easily be acquired with a small down payment and a doctor recommendation. After that, the patient will be allowed to purchase legal cannabis from any dispensary. With the advent of the medical marijuana program, the drug has become more accessible than ever as more people get their cards every day. Many people believe that this is start of the true legalization of marijuana which is still years away. Regardless of...
