Amazing strain. For those looking for little to no “high feeling” this is it for you. Personally helped my lower back pain a lot without sacrificing any type of “altered” brain function.
Loaded up an ice cold water pipe. Packed a nice bowel with teensy bit of hash. After 10 min, no pain at all. No body stone or slowness. I was alert, felt like a million bucks, and found to be very coherent and present. Perfect for wake and bake.

One of my all time favorite strains! I mix this strain with high THC strains and I have the perfect hybrid. Having gone through Leukemia and a stem cell transplant, I have this stein on hand all the time. Medicating w ACDC is like everything you want out of a glass of wine, just without the alcohol. Highly recommended!
No brain fog, no paranoia, and doesn't make me want to eat all of the things. I am in remission from cancer and this helps with remaining painful side effects, PTSD, and general anxiety.
Like a lot of folks dealing with PTSD, I have a hard time finding treatment aids that help with attention and focus, while at the same time, keeping my anxiety at bay. I think this strain is the best I've found so far for striking that balance. It is both uplifting and calming, leaving me clearheaded and productive. Body-wise, it has a pleasant, mild tingly effect.
In general, I gravitate towards mildish strains that give me a lot of control over the intensity of impact, and ACDC is great in that regard, too. I've played around with a variety of vape temps (as well as good, old-timey smoking) and have found it to be delightfully consistent, predictable, and adjustable in its effects.
If you've never tried a CBD-focused strain before, I highly recommend it. CBD has worked wonders for my trigeminal neuralgia, and it also helped with a short-term muscle tightness in my back. You don't get high from it like you do THC, but there is definitely an overall euphoria that kicks in as it loosens up your body.
The ACDC I got has 20% CBD and 1% THC. The interesting thing, for me, is that CBD takes a little while to kick in compared to THC. So there's a very mild THC "lift" that happens initially after inhaling, and then within about 15 minutes I feel every muscle in my body relax to what feels like its "default state." I'm not impaired by the relaxation, rather I'm freed by it.
ACDC is good to have around both for when you just want CBD or you want to blend a little CBD with your THC strains. I am very sensitive to strains that induce paranoia, and you can very quickly and easily mitigate that with some CBD. ACDC provides that option, for sure.
There's a mild tingliness that sometimes happens for me with CBD, and ACDC can definitely kick that in. When it happens, it's blissful. I just wish it happened every time I used this strain!

High CBD, low THC - so not a typical high. A gentle come on of mostly cozy euphoria that feels like getting a hug from mom. Slowly works its way into your brain, making vision glowy and colorful. Head is more fuzzy than cold medicine and does, in fact, feel sufficiently stoned despite low THC. Euphoric physical relaxation is felt deep in the body. Wonderful mood elevation that’s carefree, cheerful, and funny. No anxiety or instability. A perfect, safe learner strain for first-time smokers. Music sounds distinct and elevated. There’s a small disconnect - like a numbness - that's soothing, but does not make it as easy to connect with music. Has a fun spaciness while still being well enough in control. Befuddles thought and makes concentrating more challenging, so not the best for work. Overall, it’s so uplifting, it’s impossible not to recommend.
I microdose my Sativas during the day and ACDC is by far my favorite. It helps with the nerve pain, osteoarthritis and even my narcolepsy. This is a great strain for pain relief and use during the day. Also, I've noticed a slight cherry aftertaste which I love.
