Introducing Purple Kush, an indica-dominant hybrid strain with powerful sedative effects and a unique origin story. This strain comes to us from the Oaksterdam neighborhood of Oakland, California, and is believed to be a cross between a Hindu Kush female and a Purple Afghani phenotype and a landrace cultivar from Afghanistan.
Smokers of this strain can expect to experience a calming, sedative effect that eases them into physical relaxation. The effects are said to have an average duration of 2 to 3 hours, making it a great choice for nighttime use. Purple Kush is known for its perma-smile and heavy body stone, and may be appreciated even more in the presence of music or tactile surroundings.
Those seeking medical treatment may find Purple Kush surprisingly effective in relieving pain, as well as in blunting symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can also be used as a sleep aid, helping to treat insomnia. Other notable features of this strain include its vibrant violet color, which is due to its acidity levels, anthocyanin content and/or cooler temperatures.
So if you’re looking for a powerful, sedative strain that offers calming effects and pain relief, look no further than Purple Kush.
