HINDU KUSH - Review

• Indica
• 4.6 /5
• Sticky Dense Indica

The Strain

Hindu Kush is a true indica known for it’s sticky bud and deep relaxing high. It is named after the Hindu Kush mountain range which stretches along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. This strain is native to that region and remarkably grows in the rough mountainous conditions.

Hindu Kush is the original kush strain and is responsible for all other kush variant. It is also the reason ‘kush’ has popularly become a slang term for weed. It is believed kush either means ‘mountain’ or ‘killer’ due to the treacherous conditions of the mountain range.

The Flower

Hindu Kush has shorter dense nugs covered in thick sticky resin. This is believed to be a product of its environment. The originally strain grew in very harsh conditions in the mountains. This explains the packed in density of the flower and the concentrated layer of crystals protecting it.

Hindu Kush has so much resin that it was one of the first strains used to create hash. The kush I was smoking on was no exception. The dark green and slightly purple bud was engulfed in trichomes. It was sticky to the touch and twinkled in the light.

The smell was a little sweet and woody with a musky nose. I loaded the kush into a pipe and really enjoyed the flavor. The taste was a little skunky with some refreshing pine.

The High

The high is very strong and soothing. I was trying to relax after a long day and this was the perfect remedy. A deep wave of calm crept over my body till I closed my eyes in submission. I felt the physical release of stress as I sank into my seat.

My body felt the high first and my limbs were almost numb with bliss. Then it moved into my head and created a foggy but enjoyable daze. I couldn’t focus too clearly on any tasks at hand, but that wasn’t the point. Hindu Kush gave me everything I want in a heavy indica. Alleviating body high that melts away worries and leaves you in a euphoric stuper.

Recommendation

I really like Hindu Kush and give it a 4.6 / 5. This is the type of indica that is perfect for insomnia or pain relief. It’s a strong potent strain that can knock you out. But even if you aren’t suffering from either of those you will still enjoy the soothing bath of goodness.

Stress relief is also a great reason to use Hindu Kush. It’s the ideal release valve after a long day. I recommend it at night when you don't have anything else to do except sit back, relax, and hit that kush.
