Recreational Effects

Alaskan Thunder Fuck is as hard of a name to live up to as any, and this strain does a pretty good job at it.

Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a delight for creatives and problem-solvers, as it amplifies analytical skills and divergent thinking and makes ideas strike like lightnings during thunderous brainstorming sessions. There’s also a palpable augmentation of the sensory perceptions that only adds a layer to the sweeping mental buzz. It’s the kind of strain you could imagine Joe Rogan smoking on his podcast, discussing anything from the universe to animal MMA fights with an unadulterated childlike sense of wonder and glee.

For most users, especially the more experienced ones, this strain strikes a balance between mental buzz and focus, euphoria and relaxation, however, it can cause the mind to race a little faster than it should, especially in larger quantities.

Alaskan Thunder Fuck is one of those strains that vibe particularly well with music, especially trippy genres like trance for example, projecting songs on your mind’s screen and provoking spontaneous introspection.

Alaskan Thunder Fuck sends gentle, tingling waves of relaxation throughout the entire body. This tingly sensation can grow into quite the aphrodisiac, but this strain doesn’t arouse only on a strictly physical level. On the contrary, according to some users, the “thunder fuck” portion of the name can be attributed to the thunderous, yet thoughtful euphoria, bolstered by sensual physical relaxation – a combination that sparks a desire for contact on all levels.

Medicinal Benefits

Alaskan Thunder Fuck is a powerful antidepressant, or at the very least a distraction, in its ability to uplift both the mood and the plane of thought. When it comes to anxiety, however, as well as ADD, it can be a double-edged sword, and how it works depends largely on the quantity consumed and the user’s natural dispositions. It could backfire for those, prone to paranoia and/or with a low THC tolerance.

Alaskan Thunder Fuck provides anything but a lethargic high, and in that spirit, it can snap you out of a sense of burnout.

The gentle physical relaxation also lends itself nicely to pain relief and anti-inflammation.
