This Amsterdam-born and bred cannabis cultivar from White Label Genetics is a backcross of Afghani Hindu Kush, a landrace cultivar from the Hindu Kush Region. Treating consumers with a heavy-headed high that is reported to extend into the limbs and lingers for hours, the Master Kush cultivar is a popular choice of many for rapid relief from aches, pains, and general stress. Some growers refer to it as “High Rise” – its original name. Acclaimed musicians and cannabis connoisseurs like Snoop Dogg have famously praised Master Kush for its indulgent effects.

Master Kush Strain Effects & Common Usage
The effects of Master Kush are amplified by its myrcene and THC content, which may be helpful for sleep and relaxation.
Hungry. THC is renowned as an appetite stimulant because it increases the “hunger hormone,” ghrelin.
Relaxed. Limonene and caryophyllene may promote feelings of relaxation.
Sleepy. High levels of THC and the presence of the sedating terpene myrcene may guarantee a good night’s sleep.
Anxiety. Myrcene, bisabolol, limonene, and caryophyllene may offer anxiety relief.
Pain. Along with the pain-relieving potential of THC, the terpenes caryophyllene and myrcene have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and may help with pain relief.
Stress. Myrcene has been hailed as a stress reliever in some studies, while THC may be a stress-buster in low doses.
Master Kush Strain Dosage Recommendations
Start low and slow with Master Kush, which sometimes contains up to 24% THC. This strain’s effects may creep up slowly, so consider waiting 15-30 minutes between puffs to assess your feelings.
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.
