Red Congolese is an incredibly popular Sativa strain among users, created by a cross between some Afghani Landrace, a Mexican Sativa, and Congolese. Most notable about this flower is that it took home the 3rd Place prize at High Times’ Cannabis Cup in 2013, cementing its popularity in cannabis history.  Users have noted intense scents of earthy, spicy notes and fruity citrus, with the flavor of this strain is much the same as its scent.  The high is often described as a feeling of elation and awareness with an increased ability to focus.  This is accompanied by a light body high with excitable energy that fades into a feeling of tranquility and well-being.  Because of these effects, this strain is often used as a wake-and-bake treatment, and is ideal for treating patients suffering from conditions such as anxiety disorders, tension, chronic stress, and fatigue.
