The Trainwreck strain became a staple of the West Coast some time ago. This heady sativa has a discombobulating high that may hit you like a bag of bricks. Mexican and Thai sativas came together with Afghani indicas to create this mind-melter. It has a beautiful appearance with frosty leaves and vibrantly green foliage. The first whiffs will feature a twist of citrus and a chemical-like pine scent. This strain will run laps around your brain potentially inciting relief for anxiety and stress, and even focus for those with ADD/ADHD.
Looking at a nug of the Trainwreck strain, it’ll have a lot of the classic appeal of a denser sativa. Fluffy, medium-thick nugs are sticky with resin as you inspect the ample display of orange pistils wriggling up to the surface. On the nose, you’ll pick up notes of fruity sweetness that borderline a citrus-esque aroma. Cracking the nug open will release a satisfying blast of sour and herbaceous notes that combine with the fruity sweetness in a beautiful way. You already get an idea of what it’s going to do just from the name and the intoxicating aromatics.
When you’re looking at the dominant terpenes for the Trainwreck strain it all becomes a lot clearer. Terpinolene, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene are the driving forces behind this strain. In tandem with the high THC levels this strain usually carries, it makes sense that the high from this strain might be fast, intense, and bring about a surge of enlivening and pain-relieving feelings.

Terpinolene is a rare terp to come up to the top of the barrel. It carries fresh, sweet, fruity aromas that lend to the uplifting feeling. Myrcene is a common terp that brings in berry and floral flavors. It may help bring more of the calming, anxiety-relieving effects. Beta-caryophyllene is adding more of that herbaceous kick to mix and potentially anti-inflammatory effects.
Smoking on some of the Trainwreck strain you may pick up more of the spicy herbal flavors. The effects may be felt immediately as it creates a wave of euphoria across your mind potentially aiding to creativity. Those suffering from migraines and arthritis may also find this strain to be a welcoming addition to their daily smoke in the morning, afternoon, or night.
