The 12 Strains of the Holidaze!

By The Source Cannabis Dispensary of Northwest Arkansas

AK-47 takes center stage on our eighth day of the Holidaze as NSM presents their take on this global cannabis classic. This heritage strain, which Natural State Medicinals is “fortunate enough to keep alive and nurture,” represents decades of cannabis cultivation excellence. NSM has preserved an aged representation of this strain that they’ve been cultivating for several years.

While many cultivators might shy away from lower-yielding varieties, NSM’s dedication to preserving AK-47’s legacy transcends production metrics. Their commitment to maintaining this classic strain reflects a deeper philosophy: honoring cannabis heritage and providing patients with authentic, time-tested genetics that have proven their worth across generations. 

The terpene profile of myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene creates a complex bouquet of earthy, woody, and skunky notes. These therapeutic compounds work together to deliver focused relief that’s perfect for daytime use while maintaining a sense of balanced calm. 

High Note: Officially developed in 1992 (though its origins trace back even further), AK-47 embodies NSM’s commitment to “preserving genetic heritage and transcending trends.” As Payton Weatherford notes, “It has stayed relevant for decades… providing patients with a sense of connection and familiarity with something they knew about before the medical market even existed in this state.” This European-bred classic shows that while NSM loves experimenting with new genetics, they remain dedicated to maintaining connections to cannabis heritage, even with strains that, as Weatherford points out, “don’t produce a mega-crop.”
