Mazar I Sharif is also know as Mazar. This hardcore strain gets its name from Mazar-I-Sharif, an Afghan city and the site of a massive marijuana farm on the steppes near the border with Uzbekistan. It produces THC levels as high as 20%, making it a very potent strain. Mazar I Sharif is an indica-dominant hybrid, with a sativa/indica ratio of 20:80. The offspring of a local Afghani indica and Skunk #1, a classic indica-dominant hybrid, Mazar I Sharif gives a heavy, relaxing body high with a strong euphoric boost. This strain is thought to contain high levels of CBD, a substance used to treat seizures and other conditions, although the exact proportions are unknown. Mazar I Sharif tastes and smells like earth and flowers with hints of lavender. It’s effective at treating pain, anxiety, and depression, but the body high is even better at relieving insomnia. Dry eyes and dry mouth are the most common negative effects, along with limited paranoia. This strain is best used at night, since it can make it hard to get things done. But it’s a great tool for relieving stress and improving mood.
