About Pineapple Kush
Pineapple Kush is a hybrid that crosses Pineapple with Master Kush. It has been a familiar name in legal markets for years and is commonly found on dispensary menus in the US and in Canadian stores.
The aroma is sweet and tropical, with ripe pineapple up front and a soft earthy kush note underneath. Buds tend to be medium-sized and dense, bright green with orange hairs and a light frosting of resin. Myrcene often supports the tropical sweetness, limonene adds a juicy citrus brightness, and caryophyllene gives a faint peppery finish.
Pineapple Kush is commonly described as relaxed, happy and uplifted. Many people reach for it in the afternoon or early evening, when a mellow body feel and a cheerful mood fit easygoing plans. THC usually ranges from 16% to 22%, with little CBD, and potency varies by grower and batch.
With its moderate potency and fruity flavor, Pineapple Kush can suit a wide range of consumers. Start low, go slow, and read the label so you know the THC level before you begin. Use WhereLeaf to find Pineapple Kush at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
