Common side effects may include dry mouth and dry eyes; in higher quantities, some users report dizziness or feelings of anxiety/paranoia. Effects may vary by person.
Flavor & Aroma
The aroma leans earthy and hash-like with hints of pine and spice, a profile often linked to myrcene and caryophyllene. On the inhale, expect a woody, herbal flavour with touches of sweetness; the exhale can bring out sharper pine and pepper notes. The terpene mix lends a classic, old-world hashish character that many enthusiasts appreciate.
Genetics & Lineage
Mazar traces back to an Afghani landrace crossed with Skunk #1, popularized by Dutch Passion. The Afghani side contributes resin production and sturdy structure, while Skunk #1 adds a touch of brightness to the aroma and a smoother overall experience. This blend helped Mazar earn a long-standing place among traditional indica selections.
