Cali Kush Strain Overview

Sumo Seeds originally created the Cali Kush you may find in the U.S. today, and breeders at Sensible Seeds are carrying on the lineage. This cultivar is a cross between Purps and L.A. Confidential.

With this cultivar, you’ll get a waft of coffee and earthiness, with a blend of citrus and fruity flavor notes for long-lasting sensory pleasure. Consumers report that this potentially stress-relieving strain energizes, uplifts, and ensures a strong physical high. This California Kush cultivar boasts dense trichome-embellished green buds and orange pistils. 

It is important to note that another Cali Kush exists, originating from a breeder in Spain, Anesia Seeds. This cultivar is a cross between the infamous Strawberry Kush and OG Kush and has a higher THC percentage, averaging 24%, with nearly 3% CBD.

Cali Kush Strain Effects & Common Usage

High THC levels (21%) and a generous amount of myrcene give this relaxing strain a sedating touch. 

Hungry. THC is renowned as an appetite stimulant because it increases the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin.

Sleepy. High doses of THC and myrcene may cause sedation, and studies indicate THC’s potential for decreasing sleep latency.

Relaxed. This strain may help you relax by combining the potential relaxing effect of caryophyllene with limonene’s potential calming therapeutic properties.

Stress. The stress-relieving potential of limonene may be attributed to its influence on mood disorders such as anxiety

Depression. Studies suggest that the peppery cannabis terpene caryophyllene may hold therapeutic promise as an antidepressant. 

Anxiety. Myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene may offer anxiety relief.

Cali Kush Strain Dosage Recommendations

With 21% THC, the Cali Kush weed strain is not ideal for beginners. Experienced consumers may want to test the waters with 1-3 puffs before increasing the dosage.

The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
