FarmaceuticalRX brand from medical MJ Restore- East Petersburg, PA. I’ve had better. But it’s a pretty decent mellow high from a high tolerance user. More of a head high with a side of body relaxation. Tastes very clear, not really strong at all in flavor. Very light vanilla, it tastes like a flower you’d give to your girlfriend, definitely not lavender, but if I knew I could say. It’s a 7/10, final answer. But to me. That’s worth another go. Cause I like not so high and extreme percents. Lots of terpenes are the way to go. This only had 2.53% total terps, that’s pretty low for me! I like about 5.05-8 terpene %. But like I said “it’s alright.” Try it or don’t not my problem. Have a good day or night where ever you live! Wahooo!

Literally the name. Kush that tastes like vanilla. Very strong og kush taste and scent. Coated my mouth with terpenes and oil. Got me very sedated and had with some slight dizziness. Not bad at all for me. This is stuff I look for. It's like drinking whiskey

What is up! I'm Stephy and I'm new here -- 1st review! I tried VK every night last week (1-gram pre-roll opened up and used in one-hitter), my 1st week of trying to cannabisiously medicate my insomnia (I've also got ADHD, hence the trouble falling and staying asleep). I consumed VK closer to bedtime at the suggestion of a gal at the dispensary, along with some local, delicious 1:1 (balanced THC and CBD for newbies like me!) honey in chamomile tea around 8 p.m. However, for me, VK didn't help me sleep... it was more stimulating. VK is WICKED smooth in and out (no coughing) and pleasant, but it's a bit disheartening when one consumes this to help induce sleep and one's heart rate climbs to >100 beats per minute (tachycardia) between 3 a.m. (after forcing oneself to go to bed at 2:30 a.m. just to see if ZZZs will occur) and 5 a.m., at which point one needs help from a mainstream medication to calm my mind and body down, a med that one might be trying to stop using as it's associated with dementia later in life. Very cool strain (able to function, happy, chill, hungry, great for watching some good comedy on Netflix without couch-slouch and/or couch-lock), but laying in bed wide awake after consuming an indica that helps others sleeps is a stinker. **Respiratory benefits!!** My boyfriend, who I diagnosed with SLEEP APNEA (I'm a nurse practitioner; no worries, I'm a professional) tried VK one night and said he felt that it helped his allergies and chronic sinus congestion -- and I agree! He didn't snore the night he consumed VK! So, maybe it did help me sleep secondary to my apnea-partner-not-snoring! ;) **ADHD** I've heard that folks with ADHD sometimes experience the opposite of the strain (calm with a sativa, stimulation with an indica); VK definitely doesn't help me sleep, but it is fun! My sister and I had some really fabulous laughs watching Sebastian Maniscalco specials the other night. For me, it'll just have to consume VK earlier in the day! <3 :)

I decided to try a new dispensary yesterday. I'm a loya customer to one, but just wanted something different. Came across this strain, with a deal 7 grams for $15 dollars. This is fabulous. Honestly, it's SO mellow, on the hit and feel. Be careful, it's a creeper sleeper! I wanted to lay back down this am, guess who's in bed? 🤣😜✌️💚

What can I say about Vanilla Kush? The batch I have was grown organically in Michigan. This strain is a heavy hitter so I recommend it for seasoned smokers. It's a great strain for anxiety, and depression, and will give you a nice dose of couchlock. You will more than likely get the munchies with this strain. Overall I enjoy getting this one when it's in rotation with my caregiver.

I LOVE KUSH !!! I can only speak from my experience with this 7. smoked with raws and Marleys.5 joint for drives .. clears anxiety mostly. Lights get vibrant music hits good but so does the silence and beauty of nature. .8-1 for night time. snacks and water hit different when you you in the bed with the fan. I'm gone but it every time I see it
