Alien Technology, also known as Alien Tech, is one of several seed varieties an American soldier brought to the United States from Afghanistan. It was then named and bred by breeder OBSoull33t. Alien Technology is a pure indica marijuana strain with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels of around 14%-19% and very low cannabidiol (CBD) content.
As with many marijuana strains, Alien Technology hasn’t explicitly been scientifically tested for efficacy due to many strains and relatively recent legalization. However, initial reports suggest that Alien Technology has the potential to relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety temporarily.
The cured flower buds of Alien Technology aren’t commonly available for purchase, though Alien Technology seeds can be ordered from several sites online. Alien Technology has primarily been used as breeding stock to create the Alien family, known for strong, rapid effects. Alien Technology is renowned for having sustained effects beyond most strains, with noticeable effects still present up to six hours after inhalation.
Alien Technology can create euphoric effects and improve mood, energy, and creativity. After the initial effects have faded, the strain provides muscle relaxation and relief from chronic pain. Unlike most indica strains, Alien Technology doesn’t usually cause significant sedative effects, though it can be helpful in calming thoughts and relaxing the body before sleep.
Cured Alien Technology buds have a spicy, earthy aroma with a hint of fresh pencil shavings, cedar wood, and diesel. When inhaled, a rich herbal taste, a chemical bitterness, and a vanilla taste linger.
