Roadkill Skunk

Roadkill Skunk is a strain with a storied and somewhat ambiguous history. While it has been a recognized name in cannabis circles since the 1970s, its exact lineage remains a subject of debate, with multiple versions circulating from various breeders. One common narrative suggests that Roadkill Skunk is a specific, highly pungent selection of the original Skunk #1—a cross of Acapulco Gold, Colombian Gold, and an Afghani landrace bred by David Watson (Sam the Skunkman). In this context, the name was used to distinguish the most aggressively aromatic, "skunky" phenotypes from the sweeter variations of the same line. A separate origin story attributes the strain to CannaVenture Seeds, who reportedly crossed Skunk #1 with an Afghani landrace. Regardless of the specific origin, the strain is noted for its diesel-forward scent, which is described as earthy and skunky with subtle, softening notes of mint. Users report a progression from happy relaxation into deep sleepiness.
