Afghan Goo

Needless to say, living in one of San Francisco's most bohemian and culturally grounded neighborhoods (Haight/Ashbury) I've over the years experienced my fair share of medical marijuana from both independent providers and dispensaries. But I must say, there's something special about Afghan Goo (henceforth known as Afgoo). Not only is it one of the more tasty buds I've got from an independent provider lately, its also just as the name suggests: gooey to the core.

With that being said, lets get into it. At first sight, Afgoo seems to be your run of the mill 'beaster' with its dark green color, rich tan undertones and countless red hairs. However, upon further inspection, you'll see that's just not the case. This beautiful example of a hybrid bud is dense and drenched in trichome that will have your fingers sticking and glistening in the sun. Pull it open and you're overwhelmed with a strong aroma; the smell is very pungent with hints of fresh pine. As you continue to dig into the center of the bud, hues of white and tan appear covered in crystals.

Grinders have little to no effect on Afgoo, so Joint rollers be warned: this might not be the most suitable bud for you. This type of gooey strain works best in a dry glass pipe.

Upon inhaling, the strong taste of of pine and wood came out in rich, colorful flavors. I was amazed by how smooth the taste was. It threw me for a loop; it felt like inhaling some fresh Tahoe air.


Not long after, a warm sense of awareness began to take effect. It provided an experience that was both mental and physical. The high was mellow yet stimulating, leaving my extremities feeling loose and tingly.

What I loved most about Afgoo was that its a great social pot. I found myself being able to interact and have fun (no dreaded couch potato syndrome here). I felt spacey, but completely cognizant with little to no after effects.

This bud is a great value at $50.00 an eighth. If you live in San Francisco or are planning on making a trip to the city anytime soon, be sure to pick up some Afghan Goo. This strain has been making its rounds throughout the Upper and Lower Haight areas. Currently, several independent providers and dispensaries have it available.


If your local dispensary or independent provider has some Afgoo, be sure to pick it up. I can assure you, you're not going to be disappointed.
