Hindu Kush, also known as "Hindi Kush," is a pure indica marijuana strain named after the mountain range stretching 500 miles between Pakistan and Afghanistan where it originated. The harsh climate of its homeland has conditioned this strain to express a thick, protective coat of crystal trichomes cherished by hash makers worldwide. With a subtle sweet and earthy sandalwood aroma, Hindu Kush induces a deep sense of calm that helps bring relief to those suffering pain, nausea, and stress disorders.

Just got this strain and have been smoking it for a few hours, and it's a different kind of indica high for me but I really like it. I have the body high and am completely stoned, feeling uplifted and euphoric but somewhat couch locked. But I'm also getting really weird visuals when I close my eyes. The strangest thing is it makes me really focused and I'm getting some studying done at almost midnight now. I recommend this strain to any working professional, someone with a difficult job or college/grad students that need to relieve some stress because you can still be productive while high. I mean look at this long ass review I wrote!

I am new again (haven't smoked in 20 years) and decided to break my cherry on this to take care of pain I have from breaking my tibia, fibula and ankle. I have 14 screws and two plates in my leg now and depending on the weather I'm either fine, or grinding my teeth all day trying to ignore the pain. Tylenol and Aleve weren't working so I decided to try the HK. WOW what a wonderful little flower. I only need a small hit off my vaporizer to make all the bad go away. It's not a total couch lock and you're still pretty clear headed. I don't like the high that a Sativa gives because I don't feel in control. With the HK, my body is super chill and pain free and my mind is clear. Also, I don't know if this is supposed to happen but my vision got super sharp and everything looked very clear to me. A little advise to first time users of this flower. Start slow, you don't need much to medicate.

As an indica fan, this is my favorite. It's not easy to find, and it sells out quickly when it shows up, but anyone who enjoys cannabis needs to try this historic strain. It's a truly pure indica and the seed has been around for hundreds of years. It's not like most of the hybrids we are all used to - this one is a pure indica, deep and mellow. In a word it's incredible. The first time I tried it I felt the effects within a minute and said to myself "This might be the finest stuff I've ever had!" - and I was right. It was the finest. It's a thick, chewy, classic indica that promotes serious couch-lock, so don't plan on doing anything after but sitting around (never drive!). The effects are soothing, calming and very mellow. It will subdue and alleviate whatever physical pain you are experiencing - instantly. It's a great painkiller. It's also a motivation-killer too, but hey, that's okay. Just plan on some serious relaxing with this one. This is, hands-down, one of my favorite strains: mellow, laid back, stony. To me it's the Lebowski of cannabis.
