About African Strain

African is a broad cannabis strain label associated with African sativa or landrace-derived genetics rather than one universally standardized cultivar. It typically tests between 15% and 23% THC. The term African is too broad to identify one exact genetic line because the continent contains many distinct cannabis populations and regional traditions. A high-quality listing should therefore specify provenance—such as Congolese, Durban, Swazi, or another origin—when that information is actually known.

Strain Helps With

The aroma profile is commonly associated with limonene, terpinolene, and pinene, although dominant terpenes can vary by phenotype and harvest.
