A pure indica from Oakland combining Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani. Grape and earthy sweetness with a blissful, long-lasting full-body calm.
Purple Kush is a indica cannabis strain, typically testing at 17-24% THC, descended from Hindu Kush. Consumers most often describe its effects as relaxed, sleepy, and happy. On the palate it tends toward grape and earthy notes, which tracks with its dominant terpenes: myrcene and caryophyllene. Among the people who log what they are using it for, Purple Kush comes up most often around anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia, though that reflects what consumers report rather than any tested medical effect. The most commonly reported downsides are dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness, and a lower dose is the usual way to avoid them.
