Purple Kush is a pure indica strain that emerged from the Oakland area of California as the result of crossing Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani. Its aroma is subtle and earthy with sweet overtones typical of Kush varieties. Blissful, long-lasting euphoria blankets the mind while physical relaxation rids the body of pain, sleeplessness, and stress.

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

Purple Kush has four phenotypes, three of which typically express sativa influence while the fourth exhibits more indicia-like characteristics. Achieve best results when plants are grown large and not confined to pots. Purple Kush will grow wide rather than tall and will be ready for harvest following an 8-week flowering time. Plants require a dry outdoor climate.
