Trainwreck has almost mythical genetic origins, and a few different accounts of where & when the strain was first bred. In recent years this previously "clone-only" strain was purchased by Greenhouse Seeds, and provided in seed form on the open market globally. Many people argue that the "real" strain, which supposedly originated in Arcata, California, is not what you get when you buy it from a seed company, and is *only* available in clone form via trusted growers' networks. The seed company claims to have simply inbred the clone, to provide an exact replica of the original strain. The flowering time on trainwreck is also hugely debated and even more shrouded in mystery - which adds to some very different batches of trainwreck - harvested on the late side, you can very easily be stuck on the couch with this stuff. harvested on the early side with the right environmental factors you could be writing a Physio paper. Regardless of which phenotype you get, I have never encountered or grown a version of Trainwreck that didn't have the distinctive SPICY, overpowering smell which to me is indicative of the South / Central American genetics that are prevalent in the strain and which I believe lend to its tall, lanky, very sativa-like leaf / branch structure (the flowers, on the other hand, tend to be ubiquitous clusters of relatively small popcorn buds, which are usually highly resinous and sparkling with glass-shard-sized trichomes by mid-flower). This is also a GREAT medical strain. Those with general anxiety and eye pressure or eye fatigue should feel amazing relief of ocular pressure and a sense of muscular relaxation without sedation.

With a taste almost like dusty pine needles and aromatics reminiscent of a skunk den in an old pine stump, the Trainwreck high comes like a thief in the night and hits like a sledgehammer to the head. I felt my face getting intoxicated mere seconds after my first hit and I've got a wonderful sativa-y headspace minutes after my smoke session. This strain absolutely cuts down depression and stress while providing the energy and motivation to go out and do something/get things done. The buds are a healthy shade of light green and look like they just came out of Siberia due to the overwhelming amount of trichomes. Trainwreck has always been one of my favorites and is highly recommended for socializing, parties, or outdoor recreation (motherfucking hiking this summer yo)

This strain is great. I'm 10 puffs in and I'm already feeling it. I love this strain because it's a great alternative if you have ADD /ADHD and you take Adderall or any other stimulant for that you should try this. I've been taking adderall since I was in2nd grade (I'm in college btw) and this is much nicer than taking a stimulant. Work and class fly by and This strain makes me very calm and collective. This is just something you should smoke to have fun as an everyday thing to improve work or school. I hope this review was helpful.

A friend and I smoked this recently and I can say that it's been one of my greatest highs to date. It burns quickly and well compared to most, and got us feeling good within a small amount of time. This strain made me feel very euphoric; everything felt great and there was a considerable distortion of time with this one. Though the high lasts a long time, it wore down after awhile and I became sleepy quite quickly. Recommended for insomniacs or anyone who wants a euphoric high.

Trainwreck welcomed me back to the world of marijuana! I had "party smoked" junior high school through college until the mid-90's when I graduated and got jobs that randomly drug tested....government jobs...I am watching you. LOL. Just local small town Planning and Community Development jobs. Up to the point I quit smoking for employment reasons, I smoked whatever came to me. Sometimes good, sometimes bleck. Never bothered with strain info. Now, fast forward to the mid-00's and my eventual defeat by my lifelong chronic depression. When I say defeat, I mean government disability due to "chronic non-medical responsive depression". Basically, I lost my wife at 36yrs old and couldn't function enough to hold a job and was failing to help my son through his grief. The loss of anything keeping me ok fell apart. I even allowed myself to do shock treatment to kick my depression. Didn't work. Only humilitation from the stigma. Suicide was always lurking in the shadows....THEN....my sister had some weed 2 xmas' ago and couldn't fly with it so I decided to get high after all this time. Trainwreck was it's name and it gave me a fighting chance to push the depression to at least arms length. I had no idea you could breed specific strains to help with specific ailments. It gave me that needed space to shake free from my depression and actually say "I'm ok." I cried and cried and cried. I had finally found the thing that could help me in my fights with depression. I am in a non-medical state and have to search real hard to get Trainwreck or a similar sativa dominant hybrid that helps the most. But I won't let that stop me. Thank you Trainwreck. You'll never know how much you helped me change my life.

I am 41, and someone who smokes regularly (several times a day) & this is my favorite flower. It TRULY helps w/ chronic pain, & helps your mentality. I have a rare disease that makes me hafta take lots o meds (Oxycontin, Oxycodone, Diladid, & various muscle relaxers) & am confined (when I go out) to a wheel chair. This stuff not only is a great, "break-through" pain reliever, when all my pain meds fail me, but also helps lift my spirits better than any other flower I've tried (and thats ALOT, LOL!) and also settles me down when I need to go out in public (all the meds make me "trippy"). Hope this helps someone to at least give it a try. :)

Chugga-chugga-choo-chooAWFUCK! ho-LY shit -- it's a TRAINWRECK! You'd think a strain named Trainwreck would leave your broken body sprawled out by the tracks while confused NTSB investigators poked at your corpse, but not this stuff: this Trainwreck wants to kill you with kindness. And it is SO kind. We're talking Uncle John's Band kind. From the first limey hit, Trainwreck wraps its arms around you like your old Nana and whispers that everything is going to be ok. Then it leaves you alone for a couple of minutes before sneaking up and lifting you gently to cruising altitude. From there, it's like being seated on the world's most comfortable couch at 20,000 feet -- for about two hours. The high won't leave you glued to your chair, nor will it make you get up and dance: this is sitting by the river listening to Tame Impala with your friends kinda weed. This is good times, big smiles and warm days. This is dancing to the Dead and getting a hug from a pretty girl (or boy -- whatever your wont!). Why they called this stuff Trainwreck is beyond me; I guess "Just Good Cannabis" didn't have the same impact. Maybe "Thomas the Dank Engine"? Shit, that's already taken. Anyway, smoke some of this shit and you'll feel good. The end.

I love this strain for vaping but not smoking. When I smoke Trainwreck in a bowl I get a foggy head high that leaves me thoughtful but tired. When I vape this strain I get a clear head high perfect for thinking or creating. It is also a great tool to increase focus on a task. This strain is highly flavorful smoked or vaped but I think the taste is more potent vaped. It does have a more distinct smell so take caution if using in less private places.

Holy-holy-holy. I've only vaped this twice (Platinum Vapes based out of CA), but I think I have a new winner. I seem to have a preference of the face/head/body buzz of sativas and sativa leaning hybrids and damn, this is good stuff. Comes on strong and fast, makes for an excellent strain to just get lost in yourself and your music. Has the potential to be excellent for sex too. I'm looking forward to getting ahold of the Ultimate Trainwreck and Jillybean for that experience as well, but this strain is at the top, just slightly above Jack Herer as a monumental experience.

Having trouble with severe pain,swelling & fluid in my knee nearly 8 weeks after surgery which unfortunately, causes me to get very depressed. I'm unable to go about my normal day as I rehab my knee. It was a rough week & then the world lost Prince ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ’œ (may he RIP โ˜”๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ ) which caused me to go into a full blown tailspin until Trainwreck gave me sweet relief and fast! It's so tasty - it has a hint of lemon, it's piney, & very pungent but oh my, the trichomes! It's a beautiful strain & as soon as I smoke my cares just melt away. Anxiety level drops, and the pain relief is wonderful. A heady high at first, it also allows my body and mind to relax. One of my favorite strains for sure! โœŒ๐Ÿป๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

What is Trainwreck?

The lime green buds are covered with thin orange-brown hairs and peppered with a dense layer of frosty white trichomes. The specific fragrance of Trainwreck strain will take you to a needle-leaved forest with its piney aroma and some undertones of sweet citrus and spice. The flavor is much like the scent with some added lemony and earthy notes. Patients can use this hybrid to treat ADHD, anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD, muscle pain, stress, depression, inflammation, and sleep disorder.
