VARIATION: I vaped a local variation of Purple Kush, so called Purple Clouds, which you will not find on leafly, but it was basically Purple Kush, as I was told by the shop owner. High-quality terpenes too. ___________ I also vaped this strain using a convection vaporizer Tiny Might 2 = no smoke, only very clear taste. ___________ 1) TASTE: Actually pretty subtle. I would really prefer if it tasted a bit stronger, a bit more pungent. But all in all it was mostly sweet, flowery, and earthy. Also slightly fresh at the start, like some lavender. But it is so subtle that I cannot rate the taste higher than 4.5/10. I had better tastes already. ___________ 2) EFFECTS: Very good! Euphoria par excellence! Also openness to emotions that I have not felt for quite some time! It was evening of a beautiful summer day... I was in the city sitting outside one of the restaurants. No people around, nice privacy, so I ordered a Mexican meal and vaped this in the meantime... First nothing, it kind of crept onto me. But then it turned SURREAL... I remember the street trees next to me, I remember their green-yellow leaves whispering above me in the smooth breeze. Sitting in the alternating light and shadows caused by the moving leaves felt magical, especially since this was the "golden hour" of the day. I felt quite alert, but I was not paranoid - no, I felt damn mischevous for doing this lol :DD. I was always watching if someone is going around and if not, I would just puff on some more. Such a wonderful moment of pure joy!!! I really felt like having entered another world, while still being alert enough to react to the real one. So to list the main feelings: EUPHORIA, ALERTNESS, INSPIRING. And to a lesser degree also horninnes, especially when I saw nice summer-dressed women walking by. After leaving the restaurant, I experienced a beautiful adventure of common tasks like shopping, haha, but this way it felt funny and more action-filled. Beautiful effects, even my home sessions go beautiful. The only inconvenience I found was dry mouth. Not in every session with this strain, but in many of them. Still, effects are very nice 8.8/10 ___________ 3) TOTAL SCORE = the median of the two scores, which makes it: 6.65 TOTAL

Purple Kush strain reviews(2,307)
Extreme adolescent bone cancer survivor, record-breaking. Had 340mm of my bone totally resected at 14 years old, it took the entire proximal tibia-distal femur, the fibulal head, and all connective tissues. The proximal tibia-distal femur was reconstructed with a mega-endoprosthesis, I have no functional fibula in that leg. The extensor mechanism is reconstructed, and my medical gastrocnemius was used as a flap for soft-tissue coverage (but I have forced it to function inverse to slightly dorsiflex my ankle to slightly compensate for foot drop). I also underwent around 9 months of MAP chemotherapy. I was treated by the very best in the world. It has left me with a fairly severe disability, I also have severe and complex chronic pain; CRPS type-2, phantom limb, peripheral neuropathy of peroneal, tibial and sciatic nerves, periarticular tendinopathy and musculoskeletal pain amongst other things. All this from the age of 13-14, it ruined my life, but I always prevail. Purple Kush is a strain that it is likley my favourite along with Kosher Kush, it is great for severe and complex chronic pain, it provides both acute analgesia and chronic build-up analgesia. It is very sedative, it will de-stress you completely, and it will make you feel euphoric and tingly while completely lifting the intensity of the pain to a place where it is much easier to distract from it (without it affecting your mood as much), making it perfect for evening Witcher 3, music and aurora light cube sessions. Maintain a strong Mediterranean diet with a consistent exercise regime (relative to your disability) and take this for the evening, and your pain will be far in the background rather than requiring lots of neural effort to withstand (which is natural for people like me, but it still affects you severely). I am not a patient who can be treated by placebo effects, so believe me, it is extremely effective if you respond well to it (individual variability). The aroma is beautiful, earthy berry sweetness with a floral tinge to it. Aroma: 10/10 Effects: 10/10 Medical application: 10/10 Best strain ever.
Bought 14Gs for $20 at a seedy dispensary in Wilmington, CA while I was on the clock working. Made my work truck smell like a skunk had a fight with a hobo. Had to air it out before clocking out. Went home, threw it in my Lobo, and went to town. Dancing to indie rock in my underwear type of vibe. Then it laid my ass down to sleeeeeeeeeep 💤. (It is psychedelic) Even though it smells like a homeless encampment in the woods, it tastes like a Christmas tree lot 🌲in an upscale suburb. The type that do the hot chocolate and apple cider. Great for PTSD and depression 🙏🏾.
Purchased at Hedo Weedo in Negril,Jamaica under the "El Purple Flower" moniker. The Bud had a floral slightly woody fruity smell to it. It wasn't that sticky and ground up fluffy perfect for a hemp wrap. This was my introduction to an "earthy" strain. taste ranged from woody to slightly menthol. The effects are what I gravitate to in a strain. Relaxed,overly giggly and a massive case of the munchies. The only drawback is that it was the worse dry mouth I've ever had so stay hydrated
This is my absolute favorite strain. I tried Purple I can not find a similarly effective strain. I suffered from profound anxiety, depression, cyclothymia, and gastroparesis w/ ibs-c, psoriasis, On top of that I was mauled by a car in 2020. No one knows how I’m alive. They decided to do exploratory surgery during my almost 3 mos. stay in the ICU. I have emphysema and I never gave authorization for any of it. I now have multiple problems. My father could not see any indication for the occiput to c-5 spinal fusion. The fusion is causing the most problems. They also fused my ribs. My left leg was removed. Despite asking to see my supposedly severed leg many times by family I have a severe complication, most likely from them hurting me. I remember the entire accident and traumatic/ severe behavior. I suppose we can add severe pain, holes in my bones, Heterotopic ossification, and severe ptsd from their horrible mistreatment of me. If anyone knows anyone who could help a medical marijuana patient that would be excellent. Purple Kush, I need you in my life…lol. This strain is potentially life saving and should be on every menu, in my opinion.
🤗Chathuwa - we brought 3g for 150usd (42k #amd) in armenia .

The best shit i ever had (purple damm)ඇම්ඩා..✍️✍️✍️
It was a tough one to write for, the flower nuggets are dense and medium to large size, chunkers reminds me of like GDP almost, great bag appeal, great look, pungent kush aroma, sadly the flavor isn't like GDP or purple punch or grape ape. It does have a undertone of berry/grape but it's more kush like flavor, I'd say it's a spicy earthy herbal undertones of grape/berry. Sadly Purple Punch, Grape Ape taste better than this Purple Kush, however I don't hate it. The effects make up for flavor, the flavor is mid, the aroma is top shelf, the looks are top shelf, bag appeal excellent, however flavor is mid. I don't know why, maybe it's just the phenotype or a bad batch in terms of flavor, yet the terps are loud / pungent, very detectable, so I don't know, it's just more of a spicy forward flavored strain, I'd say "old school". It was called "Pinnacle Purple Kush", yet I cannot find any strains by that name, and all results point to "Purple Kush". Chunky pungent aroma, resinous and sticky and frosted nugs. Flavor spicy earthy and herbal undertones of grape. High is potent, classic indica sleepy, hungry high.
I first tried this strain back in 2014 when I was a high school freshman—my very first encounter with cannabis. Now, in 2025 at 24, every encounter with it brings a flood of warm memories. It’s predominantly indica, offering deep relaxation with just a hint of uplifting energy and subtle cerebral stimulation—perfect for unwinding with a movie or getting lost in a video game. It even makes life's little worries seem a bit lighter. And when you add in your favorite tunes, the music just sounds amazing, as if you’re riding a chill wave.
got an ounce of this in indiana (illegal state) for 75$, this blows the 150 dollar oz's out of the water. dense af and smells pretty good. makes me incredibly hungry to the point that i overeat. it like widens my stomach i think?
Such a therapeutic experience. I just found out a friend of mine passed away today and have been beside myself. I still am. Just had 2 bowls of this and I feel like my soul is receiving a cerebral hug (the myrcene in this is phenomenal) while remaining physically comforted. My anxiety is currently manageable. So grateful to have this strain available amidst this unexpected grief. And it’s Wes forever 🕊️
