What is the Waco strain?
Waco is a sativa cannabis strain, known for its uplifted effects and ammonia and earthy flavor profile.
Waco is a rare and historically significant cannabis strain developed by AK Bean Brains, representing an old Alaskan cut of Nevill's Northern Lights #5 Haze that dates back to at least 1986. This strain is considered a piece of cannabis history, preserving genetics that have been maintained in Alaska for decades. The strain is noted for its distinctive and polarizing characteristics, described as having an intensely pungent, ammonia-like aroma that some describe as 'trashy' and 'nasty,' which has contributed to its cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terroir.
