LA Confidential marijuana Strain: Indica or Sativa? 

LA Confidential Weed Strain is an almost full indica, but it does have slight cerebral effects, making difficult to say whether it’s a pure Indica or not. It is highly-prised because of its couch-lock effects, which are coupled with a slight cerebral buzz that stops this strain from knocking you out completely. The effects sometimes can be psychedelic, depending on the user and the phenotype. As such, the main advantage of this strain is that you can feel the warm hug of an indica coupled with a reasonably strong cerebral buzz.
 

LA Confidential Strain genetics

LA Confidential Weed Strain is a cross between OG LA Affie and Afghani. Both of these strains are overwhelmingly indica strains, but OG LA Affie definitely has strong cerebral effects alongside its indica effects. LA Confidential was bred by DNA Genetics, and OG LA Affie was also bred by this seed company. LA Confidential is a cross between:
 

• OG LA Affie
• Afghani

 
Afghani is an indica landrace strain known for its sedative qualities. It’s a very popular landrace strain for breeders. Landrace strains are the original strains that grew naturally in certain places before us homosapiens started to experiment with genetics, creating our own new strains.
 

LA Confidential marijuana THC percentage

The average indica strain has around 12.5% THC content. LA Confidential has an average of 19% THC, but it can often test at over 25%. If you do get the phenotype that is around 25% then hold onto your hats, because it’s going to be a wild ride.

LA Confidential Strain price

DNA Genetics sell their seeds from their official website, though you'll find other companies that also sell the seeds. This means that the price of this strain isn’t all that high. Furthermore, other much danker strains have recently started to dominate the market both in Amsterdam and in North America. This means that the price is actually much lower than you might expect. In a coffee shop in Amsterdam, the price is around $10 a gram, and the price is about the same in a North American dispensary.
 

LA Confidential Strain taste

LA Confidential Weed Strain is a tasty strain. It gets the Kush flavors from OG LA Affie while retaining a lot of the natural flavors of its Afghani landrace parent. This La Confidential Weed strain should be enjoyed through a flower vaporizer for maximum taste. You should also grind your bud up before vaping it, as this unlocks the flavors and the THC, bringing them out from the middle of the bud. The flavors inside this strain are:
 

• Earthy
• Sweet
• Pine

LA Confidential Strain oil, wax, shatter, edibles etc.

You can make any strain you like into concentrates. As you can see from the picture below, people use LA Confidential Weed Strain to make concentrates. That is because of its high THC content as well as its great taste. Making Butane Hash Oil is considered to be extremely dangerous, so if you are attempting it yourself please be careful! 

You can also use any strain you like to make edibles. The best way to make edibles is to actually use your already vaped bud (AVB). You can simply mix it with either a fat or an oil and you’re good to go. This is extremely potent, so please don’t underestimate the potency of this combination. If you decide to not use AVB you will have to decarboxylate your weed first. This allows the full potency to be unlocked, and, although it seems weird to stick your bud in the oven, it’s completely and utterly necessary.
