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.

World Class Euphoria. Smokes like a pure Indica. Harvested 4-16-24 by OI Processing, Branded: Higher Love. 24.68% ThC, .07% CBD. Sweet pineapple, mango and lemon citrus. Hint of orange and plum spice. Sweet cream, dough, wow this smells good! A favorite for hash makers due to extremely thick trichomes. Wow smells good! Spiraling nubs on buds, sparkling trichomes everywhere. Sticky buds, light green flower, with short matted tan hairs. Smoked sweet and lemony, some gas nose, pepper tongue, border line want to cough. Earthy dank smoke. Sour tongue. Hint of pine sawdust in smoke. Floating euphoria after first pull. No focus, smooth stomach, great pain relief, no worries, happy, couch lock, Wow...just got kelped...

This is a strain I genuinely believe was given to us by the divine. Where to begin... I suffer from chronic pain, migraines, a spinal cord injury, depression, insomnia and undiagnosed bipolar disorder too. Not one single condition is left untreated by Hindu kush. The flavours are a sort of woody/earthy taste with a slight spicy-ish (if that makes sense!? 😂) I consume either by rolling with tobacco, bongs and occasionally a vapouriser if I'm out in public and need to medicate. Personally I'd say bong rips of this are the most effective and it will send you to the moon on a funny high, you'll have a strong couch lock so get comfortable with any drinks (unfortunately dry/cotton mouth is bad with this strain) and you'll have a great smoke. It's a sleepy strain and high too, but focused with a floating head high too, your head will be on a swivel if you give in to the high. My missus has also said how it makes me easier to deal with too as I'm less annoying, though I have no idea what she means by that...👀 It's not an easy strain to find, though definitely worth getting if you've never tried it before. You'll be better getting double the amount you plan on buying, I guarantee.

I am surprised in the strong lemon flavors I’m getting from this middle eastern strain. I feel like I’m on a magic carpet ride.
