AK-47 is one of the most legendary sativa-dominant hybrid strains in cannabis, known for its sweet, earthy, slightly floral aroma, smooth smoke, and a steady, long-lasting high that keeps you alert, creative, and relaxed all at once. Bred from a complex mix of Colombian, Mexican, Thai, and Afghani landrace genetics, AK-47 was first introduced in 1992 and went on to win multiple Cannabis Cup and High Times awards. Despite its aggressive name, the effects are mellow and sustained — a gentle cerebral uplift paired with a warm body ease that doesn’t tip into sedation. The terpene profile is layered: sweet and sour up front with earthy, woody, and subtly skunky undertones. For NYC consumers who want a proven, versatile strain with global recognition, AK-47 has been delivering for over three decades.

Snowcap
Snowcap is a sativa-dominant hybrid believed to carry AK-47 genetics crossed with Humboldt Snow, delivering a sharp, minty, citrus flavor with an energizing, clear-headed high.

Snowcap is a clean, functional sativa that appeals to the same daytime consumer base as AK-47 in the NYC market.
