AK-47 Strain
A 1990s classic that stays mellow despite the name — steady, earthy, sociable.
AK-47 is a hybrid strain from Colombian x Mexican x Thai x Afghani, typically testing 17–22% THC and <1% CBD. It leans myrcene and caryophyllene on the terpene side, smells like earthy and woody with a sour floral top note, and most patients describe it as steady lift, alert but calm, long-lasting. It's a anytime strain that people reach for afternoon, long sessions, patients who want consistency — ask for it at RedBilly in Colcord or Roland, Oklahoma.

AK-47 has one of the most misleading names on the shelf. It is a mellow, steady strain, and the name refers to the speed of the effects rather than to any aggression in them.
It is a four-way cross of Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Afghani genetics, which makes it one of the more genetically broad cultivars still in regular circulation.
The nose is earthy and woody with a sour, faintly floral top note — closer to the old-school shelf than to anything in the dessert family.
Effects land steady rather than sharp. Patients report staying alert and functional while feeling clearly lifted, and the session tends to run long without much of a peak.
That consistency is why it is a good pick for patients who want to know exactly what they are getting each time. It is one of the least surprising strains we carry.
Body effects stay light throughout. There is a mild relaxation, but nothing that would stop someone from staying up and doing things.
It shows up in our cases periodically rather than continuously. The live menu tells you if Colcord or Roland has it now.
