About Purple Kush

Purple Kush is an indica that crosses Hindu Kush with Purple Afghani, two lines rooted in the mountainous Hindu Kush region. The result is a pure, classic-style indica with the deep coloring and earthy character that its name suggests.

The buds are typically compact and dense, ranging from dark green to rich purple, with a layer of white trichomes. The aroma is sweet and grape-like over an earthy, hashy base. Myrcene is often associated with earthy and fruity notes, caryophyllene with mild peppery spice, and pinene with a faint fresh edge.

People often report a deeply relaxed, euphoric feeling that moves through the body and tends to turn sleepy. Purple Kush is commonly described as a nighttime strain, best saved for quiet evenings at home. THC generally ranges from about 17% to 22%, though potency varies by grower and batch.

Purple Kush can suit both moderate and experienced consumers looking for a traditional indica experience. If you are new, start low and go slow, and allow time for the effects to develop. Check the lab results on the package, and find Purple Kush at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you on WhereLeaf.

For adults of legal age. Not medical advice. THC and CBD vary by grower and batch — check the product label. Effects vary by person. Start low, go slow, and never drive high.
