Atmosphere is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that is a cross between OG Kush and White Widow. It results in a flavorsome strain with a multi-layered high that combines mental energy and physical relaxation. The strain has been found to have THC levels of between 16% and 23%.
Atmosphere plants have medium to large flowers with a characteristically indica structure. The leaves are a dark green and covered with yellow and orange pistils. There is also a smattering of white trichomes, which makes the buds very sticky.
When the plant has been properly cured, it has a sweet aroma with overtones of fresh pine. When it is ground, the aroma becomes hash-like. Finally, when burnt, the smoke is smooth and tastes of a blend of citrus and pine.
The high from Atmosphere has a subtle onset. It begins with pressure in the face that soon gives way to a cerebral mindset in which thoughts may jump around very quickly. As such, the strain can be a great aid to brainstorming sessions but it can make it difficult to maintain a single train of thought. Atmosphere can also act as a social lubricant, making conversation easy. As the high progresses, smokers may feel a heaviness in their limbs and eyelids. While it rarely results in complete couchlock, it does slow down users. This makes it a good strain to smoke during the late afternoon or early evening.
The strain’s properties are also suitable for some medicinal users. Its cerebral effects can help with attention deficit disorders and it may also help with mild stress and depression. The sedative effects can help with aches and pains. However, it is not recommended for those who are prone to panic or paranoia.
