Master Kush effects are mostly calming.

low THChigh THC

Master Kush potency is higher THC than average.

Master Kush, also known as "High Rise," "Grandmaster Kush," and "Purple SoCal Master Kush" is a popular indica marijuana strain crossed from two landrace strains from different parts of the Hindu Kush region by the Dutch White Label Seed Company in Amsterdam. The plant produces a subtle earthy, citrus smell with a hint of incense, which is often described as a vintage flavor. The taste of Master Kush is reminiscent of the famous hard-rubbed charas hash. This strain holds a superb balance of full-body relaxation without mind-numbing effects. Instead, Master Kush offers a sharpened sensory awareness that can bring out the best of any activity.

This is my default strain lately. It has a very potent but level effect from start to finish, and just tends to take the edge off of things enough so I can relax, enjoy, but still focus on whatever I am doing at the time. I am a casual smoker, so usually it's the weekend and I am doing things around the house, yard work, etc. I also like this one when I am going to hang out at a bar with friends because it allows me to be "present" and social. Some other strains tend to make me check out too much for that. I can also read some pretty heavy books while using Master Kush, which is nice since I am into all kinds of philosophical subjects. It's a good one for video games and movies since it doesn't tend to cause your mind to wander much like other strains do. Medicinally speaking, I suffer from some hereditary depression and anxiety which I have mostly controlled without the use of any drugs at all, thanks to educating myself about the problem. However, there are some days where I wake up and I get some depressive effects and I become quiet, irritable and unmotivated. A small hit of Kush tends to alleviate this for me, and put me in a much better mood. Even once the effect of the weed wares off, I seem to have shaken off the depression I had felt prior.

HOLY KABLAMMO! I was looking for something for sleep, as in knock me out, and THIS IS IT! It could also be renamed as "Punch in the Face". Immediate results. I sure wouldn't hit this and drive. Hit it - go to bed.

One of the most powerful strains I've ever smoked. Being that it has kush in the name, I thought it was going to be a strong body high, and it was, but it was also quite psychedelic. When smoked in small amounts, it's good for pain and munchies, and is a relatively social strain, however, if used in excess, I would seriously stay the hell inside.. Not only does it numb your entire body, but definitely alters your perception of images and heightens senses like crazy. Be aware that when I say "excess" I mean five bong rips, half a blunt, and a bowl of the pipe. ***NOT A BEGINNER STRAIN*** (it's a one hitter for those with weaker minds)
