King Louis XIII, also known as "King Louis," "Louis XIII Kush," and "King Louie" is an indica marijuana strain made by crossing OG Kush with LA Confidential. It's namesake might be most famous for making wigs on men de rigeur for the French aristocracy, but in Southern California the name will bring to mind a popular indica-dominant strain. This strain announces itself as many people did in the 1600s: by its smell. The difference is this monarch’s odor is one that’s meant to be enjoyed; its dense nugs have an overwhelmingly piney smell with an earthy musk that will have you thinking of your last forest adventure. Because of its OG Kush, heritage Louis XIII has a very similar spicy kush aroma.

I bought the King Louis by Curio Exclusive in MD. I absolutely love this strain by Curio, it is DJ Shorts Flo x Pure Kush. I smoke it the evening for relaxation and sleep. I have insomnia, anxiety and chronic pain, the King Louie eliminates these ailments. I feel it in my head first, then it goes down my spine. once my entire body is soothed by this miracle strain, I can actually breathe again, my body is completely relaxed and my mind is free of bad thoughts, and/or racing thoughts…I can’t get upset or mad while on this strain, I feel too good. I’m also able to sleep through the night, which my pain usually does not allow, I’m very happy about that and I wake up refreshed, no hangover. I hope this strain sticks around, I keep buying it, so I’ll miss it if they take it off the shelf. Then I’ll have to search for another new strain all over again. When medical marijuana first came to Maryland in 2018, strains were so good and prices were affordable, $35 an eighth. I didn’t have to worry if my strains wouldn’t be on the shelves. Since it turned legal, it has not been the same. Strains that stuck around left and replaced with hybrids that are quadrupled and bx1 or bx3 times. I love a good hybrid, but most now seem to be over crossed. I miss all the good strains, not the B,C or T 2,3 level crap, just a good bud that makes me feel better. That’s what the King Louis is, good medicine/bud that gets me feeling happy, relaxed, and I feel better physically and mentally.

King Louis XIII is a solid Top 3 for my chronic back pain and anxiety/Adhd. Blueberry and Kush strains always help mow down and reduce pain for me. Louis is no different, it helps with multiple ailments for me, which makes it a strain I can't pass up for medical reasons. Recreational it's pretty mellow, but itll help you relax a lot, with a nice massage feeling in the back of the eyes and head. Not really a stoney feel, but super relaxing no doubt. Unfortunately it doesn't make me tired, it gives me about 1-2 hour happy buzz energy rush and a nice relaxed muscle and mentality chill, effects last about 2-3 hrs. King Louis Timeless concentrate was solid. 🤙

One of my favorites. You cant go wrong with this one. 2 power house parents, o.g . Kush and L.A. confidential. Will make your whole day and night better. But, if you have a demanding job in any way, just save it for after work. Stress, anxiety, pain, insomnia, ....will.all be covered by this stain I promise. You need this in your life.

I never see anyone talk about this strain for stomach issues but let me tell you!!! This strain has changed my life after losing 30lbs in under a month from a mysterious stomach illness. If it wasn’t for loius, I wouldn’t be able to eat most days. This one makes me a believer! 🙏🏻 I also agree with another reviewer on the cola like taste 😋

This might be my new favorite. I would describe the high as lightweight: sorta chill, no couch melt, elevated mood, with a core of clarity. Vaped it with the Higher Garden 510 cart. Pine, lots of pine flavor.

Couldn’t recommend the strain more to anyone who misses the early 2000s kush wave

Gives a much more relaxed, upbeat buzz than the indica-heavy hybrids at dispensaries like Jungle Cookie and Gas Basket

I'm a medical patient. Bought this strain from reviews that it was a good one to help with sleep. I've had difficulty finding the right strain for me that works for sleep and had high (pun intended!) hopes that this one would work as Granddaddy Purple didn't even work for me. Took 2 deep hits from a vape pen connected to a bubbler. Took about 10-15 minutes to hit, but when it did, it did. Almost felt a tad too stoned at first, but this subsided quickly. The relaxation kicked in after that and it was perfect. Body muscles relaxed and, surprisingly, it cleared up my eye problem! Added bonus! I suffer from cervical nerve entrapment which affects my vision (blurred, double and dry eyes) which makes it difficult and uncomfortable to read, watch TV, etc. After taking 2 tokes, my vision issues ceased to exist! I could not believe the relief I got. Unfortunately, it didn't make me tired or help with sleep much, if at all, but this is my new favorite just for the eye relief that it gives me. I noticed that when the high wore off, my vision problems quickly returned. Would definitely recommend this strain.

King Louis XIII is up in the top 3 of my favorite strains of all time. A fantastic strain for those who suffer with Chronic illness/chronic pain! The almost cola-like flavor is a wonderful complement to the all-body high this strain will give you- boy, can this stuff make you forget your own name! Not *incredibly* strong, but a sedating effect that will leave you giggling like a kid. This is also an AMAZING option for sleep! If I lay down for more than a minute I’m OUT like a light. I find I love this strain most when I’m watching my favorite TV show, relaxing on the couch after work with a tasty drink or a bowl of ramen. Overall I highly recommend!

I had an unpleasant experience with this strain in a concentrated form. It was a un pliable material that the taste was unbearable. It’s a very strong smell of ammonia with undertones of shit. It reminds me of walking past a dog park and smelling a swift wiff of dog shit. Not sure if it’s the profile for this particular strain or it’s just the manufacturer, the brand is Drip Oils & Extracts. I would never try this drooling strain again.
