Agent Orange
Overview
Agent Orange is a sativa dominant (75% sativa and 25% indica) hybrid with high resistance to diseases and pests. Agent Orange was created by TGA Subcool Seeds and is a cross between Orange Skunk, Jack’s Cleaner, and Space Queen. A second variety of Agent Orange was created by MzJill Genetics, they combined the smooth Orange Velvet with the bold Jack the Ripper. Orange Velvet is a mild-mannered hybrid with a Dreamsicle aroma. Jack the Ripper is a flashy sativa known to provide crisp mental stimulation. This second variety is a balanced hybrid strain.
Agent Orange aroma is of freshly cut oranges and citrus herbs. It has hues of light and dark purples scattered throughout its forest-green buds and its pistils are a striking burnt orange amid the sea of deep buds. The THC levels of Agent Orange are between 16%-24%, with CBN and CBD both being around 0.2%.This strain creates an uplifting cerebral high ideal for treating depression, anxiety, and migraines. It is a great daytime strain that can be used just as one is starting their day or beginning their normal routine. Patients prone to early morning depression can benefit from using this in the morning. It can also be useful as a mild pain treatment thanks to its calming and therapeutic effects, but it isn’t recommended for treatment of chronic pain.
Personal tolerance should be taken into consideration as in higher amounts; some patients have experienced dizziness or anxiety. Red eyes and dry mouth are also common side effects and as such, one should have some eye drops and a drink at hand.
