Afghani (Mazar I Sharif) is a modern indica variety with an undocumented lineage. According to lore, the strain is widely credited to the Mazar-i-Sharif region, though it is classified as a modern cultivar rather than a landrace or indigenous variety. Designed for broad accessibility, this strain is well suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Growers often favor it for its ease of maintenance, capable of reaching harvest in a 56-day flowering cycle while producing a medium yield.

The chemical profile of this strain is anchored by a dominant concentration of myrcene, followed by secondary caryophyllene and tertiary pinene. This specific terpene composition informs the sensory profile, providing the foundational aromatic nuance and flavor expected from this modern indica. These volatile compounds harmonize to define the olfactory experience, reflecting the precise balance of its primary, secondary, and tertiary constituents.

Users report that the effects of Afghani (Mazar I Sharif) are characterized by feelings of relaxation, calmness, and focus. Due to its THC-dominant cannabinoid profile, practitioners often utilize the strain for the management of pain, stress, and sleep difficulties. Its genetic influence is preserved in various contemporary crosses, including notable offspring such as CRxM and Frosted Grapes XXL.
