Trainwreck is old-growth Humboldt County cannabis royalty. The three-way landrace cross — Mexican, Thai, and Afghani — dates back to the Northern California growing scene of the 1970s. It's one of the oldest continuously cultivated named strains and the parent of Pineapple Express. The name comes from the intense, fast-hitting onset that can overwhelm unprepared users.

Trainwreck hits fast and strong — like a train. The onset is a rush of euphoric energy that can be overwhelming for new users but is exhilarating for experienced ones. The sativa cerebral rush eventually settles into body relaxation, but the ride getting there is intense. Named for a reason.
