AK-47 has won more awards than almost any other strain — multiple Cannabis Cups since 1999. Don't let the name fool you; it's named for the 'one-hit' potency, not aggression. Serious Seeds crossed four landrace genetics (Colombian, Mexican, Thai, Afghani) to create one of the most balanced and versatile hybrids ever. It's been a coffeeshop staple for over 30 years.
