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. :)
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.

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.
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)
A magical marriage of sativa-social, indigo-indaca BLISS...Happy Laugh Be Silly Munch Giggle Forget Nap WakeBake, Begin again...Good everyday Pain and Stress relief...funtional stoniness blasts ptsd, allowing for choice of thought (self-empowerment)...Now is How!...stand Up for your rights, Jah!...✌😍
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.
Headstash makes a damn fine shatter out of this girl. I could taste the soil she was grown in, smelled the air she breathed. Only thing I couldn't taste was the sunlight she bathed in, but I have no freaking clue what that tastes like (I dunno, hot?), so whatevs. Did I mention that this stuff will wreck you? Seriously, son.
Damn.
