Purple Kush Strain Overview
If a heavily sedating cultivar is on your shopping or growing list, make sure it’s this one. Purple Kush was born in the Oakland region of California after breeders saw an opportunity to cross two landrace cultivars, Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani. The result? An eye-catching purple plant with a pleasurably earthy yet sweet aroma. Numerous scents jumble and offset one another, including sweet notes of grape and berry.
Ascend into a state of bliss and mindful euphoria while treating your body to pain relief and muscle relaxation. Cerebrally invigorating yet couch-locking, this strain is reported to be suitable as a sleep aid and stress reliever. Purple Kush truly delivers on the relaxing front, allowing consumers to zone out and get a well-earned rest. Although its origins lie in California, its roots extend back to the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan.

Hungry. THC boosts ghrelin production, resulting in increased appetite.
