Ace of Spades

Ace of Spades is a product of TGA Subcool seeds with a sweet and sour flavor profile. This strain (cultivar) was created by crossing Jack the Ripper and Black Cherry Soda, which gives rise to its unique aroma and effects. Ace of Spades may help manage insomnia, anxiety, and chronic pain.

Ace of Spades may be named after a card renowned for its bad luck, but this strain will leave you feeling anything but unlucky. It is a hybrid strain that is heavily indica-leaning with a sativa-to-indica ratio of 30:70. Its high is relatively well-spread over the body and the mind, which is gained from its parent strains. Ace of Spades has some top-rated children, including the Jack of Spades and CBG Blend strains.

The Ace of Spades strain has a spot in the high THC club, with THC levels testing at around 19% and some varieties reporting even higher, up to 25%, with CBD around 1%.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.

Ace of Spades is a relatively mellow strain, with users reporting increased sleepiness and full-body relaxation. It is also common for users to get the “munchies” with increased hunger, making this strain suitable for social situations involving food. Unlike some strains, this relaxation doesn’t push you over the edge to the point where you can’t focus.

Many Ace of Spades enthusiasts report increased focus and motivation to do jobs they have been putting off doing. Users also report muscle relaxation and sometimes tingling.

Medical Applications

Many anecdotal reports of this strain describe its ability to melt stress away and help reduce the anxiety that a busy modern life can produce. Some users also report that it reduces their pain levels, especially with multiple sclerosis, muscle spasms, and chronic pain. Due to its sleep-promoting properties, many individuals use its helpfulness in insomnia treatment.

Anxiety, Panic Disorders

Cannabis contains many anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) compounds that can beat stress and reduce the production of the stress hormone cortisol.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
Multiple sclerosis (MS)

THC may help reduce the number of spasms and help reduce pain due to its analgesic effects.

CBD may help relieve some of the psychoactive effects of THC when present in equal ratios and thus help reduce some of the more confusing and fatiguing effects of THC.

CBD and THC can also work alongside each other and increase the anti-inflammatory properties via the entourage effect. THC’s and CBN‘s sedative effects may also help treat sleep issues like insomnia, while CBD can help lift mood and relieve anxiety.

Organ Systems

  • Brain & Nervous System
Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds that can help reduce or distract from pain, including THC, CBD, and beta-caryophyllene.

Organ Systems

  • Skeletal
  • Brain & Nervous System
  • Muscular
Insomnia

THC can stimulate the release of the sleep neurotransmitter adenosine.

Organ Systems

  • Mental / Emotional
  • Brain & Nervous System

Dosing

While Ace Spades is mellow, the strain has a high THC level. Users should proceed with caution. Ace Spades hits should be spread out so the users can feel the full effects before deciding to increase or keep their high at the same level. Be careful not to smoke copious amounts as this might lead to a “green out.”

Growing

Ace of Spades is popular among growers because it’s easy to grow and puts out a large yield. Due to its size, Ace of Spades may be ideal for outdoor growers.
