This is the combination of LA Confidential and OG Kush. This strain was created by DNA Genetics and it has blankets of crystals and looks almost grayish-black.

The effect is good for pain, eating and sleep disorders. Most describe Cataract as a "creeper" high that keeps on building long after you stop smoking! This strain has been years in the making and is NOT recommended for the light-weight smoker. After you experience the Cataract Kush you'll think you have cataracts!

Good mellow high that starts out slightly heady but settles into a good mellow balanced effect.

One of my favorite strains. Two hits is generally all I need. Great for insomnia and PTSD. I nearly cried in the dispensary when I went to get more and they told me the cataract kush grow got contaminated with. Thankfully they've started a new one. Soon!

Cataract Kush is one of the most iconic strong earthy strains that is a favorite amongst the rest of my other patients here. The Smell: Popping open the funky swirly label in purple I am hit in the face with a pungent odors of funky then fresh cut grass and earthy fresh mud as if it has just rained, very loud. Bud Freshness: I can always tell how well a bud has been treated when it comes to not only how it smells but how it feels when grinding this up. After a few turns of my grinder I notice the bud is very moist and super fresh smelling releasing a lot of the cbg the earthy fragrance is just so nice. The Look: Enormous nugs as big as a jalepeño, very dank heavy darkened moss color like spinach, with a foxtail at the top. Small patches of blistering orange around the middle and bottom part of this nugget weighing 2.5 grams. The Taste:Woody, that earth taste followed by a lot of dryness afterward vape ligers around for a bit like the old cartoons that resemble smoke, the vape in this mag is super milky can't even see through it like a ghost in a bag :D The Effect/Condition: I use Cataract Kush for a number of my conditions not to mention it's a great pain reliever if I have been having a hard time getting up or lifting larger items I notice my aching back. This old strain is great for the way it acts on my mind making me relax and kick back to watch one of my favorite shows on youtube.I also use this specific strain if I am having a hard time focusing, I have ADHD and this just relaxes me to where I can concentrate on one subject and get it done within one sitting. Cataract Kush is great for glaucoma and scotopia, It makes light have more of a brighter trail beam lingering over each light and sort like a rainbow halo over each bulb. I highly suggest this strain if you're looking for a nice relaxing buzz, it helps with fine tuning while cooking. I recommend this to those who have Pain and as well as concentraiting issues makes light bearable when most of the time I have to wear shades even in doors. Helps with depression and motivation to get back on track. Happy and euphoric feeling especially with music. You'll get a big appetite with this strain too if you also don't get the signals to eat :D

First and only review! This strain earned it. Consistently, The BEST STRAIN I've ever smoked, Hands Down. Period. Anyone that says it won't put you down, didn't REALLY smoke Cataract Kush or should find a new grower. Don't go into this one expecting anything other than Extreme Indica effects and sometimes slowly. Just find a spot and a pillow and enjoy. I first smoked it almost 10 years ago and I've Never Been Disappointed since. Portland's was the best so far (so much flavor). Probably the only strain I can identify every time by looks and smell. So STANKY. So strong people will think you smoked it inside. You can't hide it. You're gonna look SO STONED, even when you wake up haha. EVERYONE is gonna want to smoke what you're smoking. Honestly, I think a person could get rich, growing this 1 plant. Bag appeal is off the charts. I love to relax and ride my high and this weed HERE is responsible for some of the best sleep I've gotten. If you're trying to decide on a purchase, I hope I made you feel like you'll regret not getting this weed. Trust me, Just Do It. Peace.

Wow. First— this is not an easy strain to find, nor will it consistently be grown right, but when it is…. wow. One or two puffs of this from your favorite piece/bowl, and you’ll be sent to the moon! A very cerebral yet extremely relaxing high. And watch out… you pass out with the Lays chips in bed with you. If you have problems with insomnia or struggle with eating issues, this strain is for you.

Easily my favorite indica. I like either very sativa effects or very indica effects; not a fan of hybrids. This one has PURE indica effects. This strain actually gave me mild closed eye visuals upon being high.. every time I smoked it. It makes your eyes very heavy, extreme couch lock, euphoria, and eventually sleepiness. I haven’t been able to find this strain at any dispensaries near Seattle for over a year now and it’s kind of sad because it’s my favorite, by a mile. Please Washington dispensary’s, please carry this strain again. It doesn’t have the clout other high end indicas have, but I’ll take this over any of them for a full indica experience, with a side of trippynees. And I’ve had them all. If you can find this strain, I urge you to try it; you won’t regret it.
