This is a great strain to use as filler for larger joints (if you microdose or limit to small quantities). Great for helping to balance out high THC strains to counteract paranoia and anxiety. i've mixed this with high THC strains and it works great.
earlier reviewers mentioned eased social awkwardness, energizing ('pepped up'), relaxation, well-being, tingling. not much about its pain-relief properties though, even with this being a CBD-rich strain created for medicinal usage. happily, my experience of the sample I vaped (0.7%THC, 13%CBD), confirmed the other reviewers' observations - and added significant pain-relief. I found that it made me less socially anxious, was energizing (sativa-dominant), and combines the analgesic effect THC has on my nerve pain (L4-L5 nerve compression) with the anti-inflammatory quality of CBD - it's working for my heel issue too (plantar fasciitis). it's a kind of 'Goldilocks' strain: energizing, anti-anxiety, analgesic. full disclosure: I'm a lightweight, so a bong hit's worth in my magic flight (about 10 vapes) gave me a light THC buzz, reminiscent of what I got after smoking a joint in the early 1970's. if you're used to consuming 1/2 g. of flower at a session, you probably won't get a THC buzz. I'll need to do further 'research', but, having tried other high CBD strains and not finding them very effective for my issues, as well as taking CBD and CBD/THC caps, which only worked sometimes - esp. the hybrid caps in tandem with Ibuprofen, I think this may be the best of all for someone who has 'hybrid' (nerve + inflammation) pain. I was tempted to say 'like a half valium and a pain pill', but there's that energizing effect too, to give you an idea of what this unique strain is like.
Good pain and anxiety relief. I wasn't high or stoned, but I can't say there was no psycho-activity. About 30 minutes after I smoked a half J I noticed that I felt different. I was calm, social, talkative, happy, but not euphoric. I had lost track of time hanging out, and once I was outside I thought yes, this is a high. It continued to build slowly over time until a soft landing later on. Later on, I had a regular dose of my usual weed, and had a much deeper experience than usual.
In summary, think chamomile tea on steroids, + pain relief and no sleepiness.
I picked up this strain to mix with others, primarily because I've read that CBDs can counteract some of the paranoia that some strains can cause. I've found that's true. But I've also taken to smoking it it on its own, because the effects, though subtle, are so pleasant and relaxing.
There's no euphoria or heightened senses or weird, stoney thinking. But there is a psychoactive effect, at least for me: a gentle, calm feeling of well being and a bit more focus than I usually experience in my daily life.
It's really wonderful.
I hope that I can find this strain for the rest of my life.
I have very bad social anxiety (diagnosed) and I am not a big fan of the traditional head/body highs you get from THC just because it makes me more self conscious about how stoned I look.
That being said, ACDC has allowed me to smoke and pep up, feel a lot less on edge and focus more on the things I need to get done. I end up just getting really smiley and a lot more social (which I need).
If you are looking for that head or body high then I don't know how you found this page since its notorious for its high CBD content and very low THC content.
Shout out to the guys at LAPCG as well, they are extremely friendly and nice and make it very comfortable to shop. I will definitely return.
It's like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a freezing cold day. I call this the cuddle bud. It's not a sleeper though but this is the most relaxed and euphoric you'll ever feel. No snack attacks. Say goodbye to pain and anxiety and still able to have a conversation with Grammy without narcoleptic issues. I like it for day or night. In or out. L-O-V-E

no THC ? High on CDB? WTF. Stressful-AF-days need THC... except that's not the case at all.
If you are anything like me - sensitive to everything - then you're going to love this gift from heaven that goes by the name of ACDC.
By my second hit I was already feeling a deep body relaxation only to be followed by a meditative state while still wide awake. I literally found myself grinding my bud (which is usually an ever-so-fast process) so but sooo slowly and in such peace as if I had all the time in the world and didn't want to lose the newfound feeling of my body's energy vibration.
Very relaxing smoke. Helps with panic attacks. Has great flavor down to the ash. Relaxing feeling is like a very mild body buzz, but no "high" feeling. Body buzz is both stimulating and relaxing, making it a good choice for any time of day or night. Very good medication if Thc makes you freak out.
