Skunk #1
Skunk #1 is the foundational hybrid that defined modern cannabis breeding when Sacred Seed Co. released it in 1978. The Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Colombian Gold cross produced the first stable mass-market hybrid, and almost every modern strain on dispensary shelves carries Skunk #1 somewhere in its lineage.
Flavor is the original skunk profile: pungent, earthy, slightly sweet, with a long woody finish. Myrcene leads the terpenes. Lower THC by modern standards, which makes it a friendly entry point for adults 21+ who find current 28-percent flower too heavy. Common on California connoisseur menus and a growing presence on NY shelves through licensed retailers.
