There’s a short list of potent, legendary strains in the cannabis world that have earned respect from coast to coast, and Ghost Train Haze is one of them. If you’re ready to hop aboard, where exactly will this train ride take you? Check out our in-depth review to find out.
The Effects: What To Expect
Ghost Train Haze, or GTH, is a heavy hitter. The effects of this strain come on quickly and with significant force, making it a favorite of high tolerance consumers who are looking for potency above all else. It also excels at pain relief, making it a great choice for medical patients or consumers with joint pain or sore muscles.
If you take just one or two hits, you’ll feel a sense of mood elevation set in quickly. Consumers report irrepressible giggling fits, a burst of euphoria, reduced pain, and occasionally a boost in creativity. It’s the perfect strain for a Saturday morning when you need to clean the house and want to have a good time doing it, or for when you need a stress-relieving dance party after a long day at home with the kids.
In higher doses, the haze starts to set in. Ghost Train Haze can also deliver a calming sensation in these amounts, opposite to its more stimulating effects at low doses. Kick back with a movie on a rainy afternoon, try a puzzle, and enjoy the sensation of a laid back train ride through the countryside.
If you’re prone to feelings of panic or paranoia when it comes to strong strains, take it easy with Ghost Train Haze, as these are commonly reported side effects. If you’re feeling a little on edge after consuming GTH, try balancing out the high THC content by adding a CBD product to the mix.
Is Ghost Train Haze indica or sativa?
Ghost Train Haze is a sativa-leaning hybrid. It’s a cross between Ghost OG, a balanced hybrid, and Neville’s Wreck, a sativa-dominant hybrid. Many consumers report a very heady high experience with GTH.
It’s important to note that indica and sativa genetics are not reliable predictors of how a strain will affect you. Instead, you should examine the cannabinoid and terpene profiles of a strain to more accurately set your expectations. If you’re not sure how certain cannabinoids and terpenes might affect you, feel free to ask a Boone Town Provisions budtender!
Is Ghost Train Haze the strongest strain?
Ghost Train Haze is one of the strongest strains you can buy. Be sure to start with a low amount when you consume this strain for the first time, and only gradually increase your dose as needed.
Ghost Train Haze cannabinoid profile
Ghost Train Haze regularly tests between 25% and 30% THC. Since it was bred by Rare Dankness Seeds in 2011, this strain has won numerous awards and was even named the “most potent strain on Earth” by High Times magazine in 2012.
Despite its high THC content, GTH delivers its potency with a balance. Many samples contain high levels of Cannabigerol (CBG) and Cannabichromene (CBC). The presence of other cannabinoids may balance out the effects of THC, particularly some of the negative effects like racing thoughts and paranoia.
Terpene profile: Flavor and aroma
Ghost Train Haze is a rare strain in that it often features a terpinolene-dominant terpene profile That’s an honor it shares with the iconic strain Jack Herer, and many people credit terpinolene for the focus-inducing effects of that strain; you can put that theory to the test with a joint of GTH
Terpinolene has a complex fresh and fruity scent, but the first aroma you’ll notice when you open a container of GTH is the bright scent of citrus and the savoriness of spice. Myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene are common terpenes in Ghost Train Haze, and pinene and linalool appear in some batches as well.
Terpinolene works its way in there, adding a fresh, earthy, yet clean scent to this hazy-smelling strain. These terps carry over into the flavor of GTH, and many consumers report a savory, citrus flavor with notes of pine and spice at the end.
The terpene profile of specific strains depends on many factors in the growing conditions, so always check your product COAs to get specific information about what you’re consuming.
Why We Love Ghost Train Haze
