Alaskan Thunder

The Alaskan Thunderfuck (ATF) moniker attached to this strain is just one alias of many that it goes by. ATF has enjoyed a long and storied history. The strain first appeared on the cannabis radar back in the mid 1970s when High Times did a feature story on the strain following a landmark court decision that essentially legalized marijuana possession for small amounts within the state. Originally, this strain was as close as you’re going to get to a true sativa, but a few years after its conception, the strain had Afghani genetics bred in for increased heartiness. For most of the 1980s, ATF had to remain underground due to constant DEA raids and was even rumored to be protected by the Hells Angels during this period.
