The Mazar strain of weed is a potent indica-leaning hybrid that can be traced back to Afghanistan, high up in the mountains in the northern region of the country.
Bred from Skunk #1 and a landrace Afghani strain of unknown name, this strain was originally known as Afghan Skunk, until it was renamed Mazar in honor of the official growing center for cannabis in Afghanistan, which is called Maza-I-Shariff.
This strain is famous not only for its magical, intensely relaxing effects but also for its insanely high growing height.
This strain produces a surprisingly intense; almost mind-destroying effect that can leave you reeling for days.
On first smoking some Mazar, you can expect to feel an immediate rush of pleasant relaxation, almost like you have just taken a sip of some very high-quality whiskey; warmth flooding into your stomach, gentle lightheadedness and an overall endlessly joyful sensation will transcend your entire being.
After a bit, you will begin to feel generally happy and rather pleasantly buzzed, almost like you have had a few beers, but not quite enough to be actually drunk. This morphs into a general euphoria, leaving you feeling incredibly happy and just generally contented with your existence.
However, after experiencing this nice and gentle flow of happiness for a little while, the famous effects of this strain will start to kick in – that’s right, it isn’t over yet.
Expect for Mazar to suddenly induce a potent immobilization and complete freezing of your mental functions. You will swiftly find yourself collapsing onto the nearest comfortable surface, but you won’t just instantly fall asleep, at least not at the start.
Your mind will transcend, completely traversing the plains of time and space, swiftly making connections and easily creating whole worlds in itself. This is extremely telling of its sativa roots, as even though it only has about 20% sativa, it still provides that quickly moving rush of sativa-like intensity.
After all, this has taken place, with lots of mind racing and general crazy sensations, this strain’s indica effects will take hold with regard to sleepiness. You will quickly find yourself falling asleep, unable to stay awake and seeking out your most comfortable pillow.
With an extremely psychedelic, pleasant high, it is no wonder this strain is as famous as it is.
Aroma
The Mazar marijuana strain has a particularly interesting flavor profile considering its growing history. Instead of a similar flavor to Skunk #1, or that mysterious Afghanistan strain, it has a totally unique flavor profile.
The initial smell is one of deeply peppery earth, along with a distinctly woody flavor once you get closer, making it smell like an Afghani forest in the cool sunlight.
As you break open the buds, the smell deepens even further, offering up plenty of really excellent, intensely potent smells that leave you desperate to try its flavor. The pepperiness gets a lot more pronounced, along with the strangely intense earthiness that almost smells like actual dirt in front of you.
But what about its actual flavor? Does it taste anywhere near as good as it smells?
Flavor
The taste is extremely similar to its aroma – on first inhaling the smoke, you will be hit with that pleasant, slightly bitter tang of black pepper, along with smatterings of white pepper as well.
It will tingle your tongue and give you an extremely pleasant spicy sensation, which is then undercut by an extremely smooth earthiness that almost reminds you of Scotch whiskey.
As you begin to exhale, the woodiness emerges, offering up a vague taste of general hardwoods – more like oak and mahogany than pine. As it finally leaves you, it is the wood and the flavor of pepper that remains in your mouth, which is eerily cut by the vague impression of a slight quantity of citrus.
Medical Benefits of the Mazar Strain
By far the most common reason for taking Mazar is because of its intense ability to help treat mental disorders like depression and excess stress. Given the inherent biochemical reactions that THC has on your brain in helping to release serotonin, it is quite literally impossible to imagine not feeling overwhelmingly happy and contented after smoking this strain.
Alongside these pleasantly soothing effects, Mazar is commonly taken to help treat joint pain, especially when arising from serious arthritis or other unpleasant physical conditions. It is also used in this way to help stop pain arising from these same conditions, or just any long-term, chronic conditions.
Furthermore, because of the tendency of this strain to induce a massively potent, completely overwhelming sensation of sleepiness, this strain is great for helping treat insomnia, or just generally helping you fall asleep when you are struggling to feel rested at night.
