AK-47 and a phenotype of Skunk #1 known as The Pure were crossed to form Elvis, a potent sativa-dominant hybrid with a sativa/indica ratio of 75:25. THC levels can top 22%, making this a powerful medical choice for people who need mood or stress relief. CBD levels, meanwhile, are typically much lower, so this isn’t recommended as a strain for patients who require that cannabinoid. The THC in this strain makes for a strong, psychedelic high with occasional mild hallucination an accompanying body high. Elvis is idea for treating depression, anxiety, nausea, poor appetite, and, for some people, chronic pain. The cerebral high is intensely euphoric and packs a strong dose of energy and creativity. Tracing the origins of this effective medical strain can be tricky; though some sources indicate a cross between Citral and Skunk #1, in fact it’s probably a mix of AK-47 and The Pure. Elvis still carries aspects of its Skunk heritage, with a strong, pungent skunk aroma and a sweet flavor. Elvis is most commonly found in Oregon, but it’s scarce pretty much everywhere else in North America.
