About Enemy of the State
Enemy of the State is a legendary, clone-only pure Afghan indica strain brought to the Netherlands in the late 1980s.

The buds are extremely dense, dark green, and covered in sticky, sweet resin. The aroma is aggressively pungent, containing spicy musk, damp earth, anise, and a heavy kerosene fuel backend. It provides a heavy, deeply relaxing physical stone with a calm, happy mental state.
