Runaway Train
Runaway Train Strain Overview
Runaway Train is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the potent Medi Ghost Train and Nightmare OG strains. This strain was developed by MadCat's Backyard Stash, though it remains relatively rare in the broader cannabis market. The name likely references the fast, runaway onset of its effects combined with the intense cerebral experience that can feel overwhelming for inexperienced users.
The strain produces oversized, fat pepper-shaped forest green buds with yellow-orange hairs and a generous coating of clear crystal trichomes dripping with sweet sticky resin. Runaway Train offers a distinctive flavor profile featuring sweet and spicy citrusy lemon tea notes with light touches of fresh wood and sandalwood, accompanied by a light earthy overtone that rounds out the aromatic experience.
With its balanced genetics, Runaway Train delivers a complex high that begins with frenzied cerebral energy and psychedelic visions before transitioning into a physically relaxing body high. The strain is particularly noted for its ability to provide mental stimulation while maintaining physical comfort, making it suitable for users seeking both creative inspiration and stress relief. Given its potency and intense effects, Runaway Train is generally recommended for experienced cannabis consumers.
