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.

Picked this up cause I just got a steroid injection in my back that cause terrible insomnia (known side effect). Needed something to help with easing back into sleep. Got this in a cart from Bud Bros. It’s a subtle creep up. First 2 hits I was relaxed. Not couch locked, but a happy relaxed chill. The high was like a blanket on the body. Took 2 more as I was getting ready for bed. Laid down put on my night time music and next thing I know it’s morning. The taste is good, smooth berry flavor on inhale and a bit of an earthy flavor on exhale. Can’t recommend enough for a nice end of the day wind down and those with insomnia.

One of the strongest indicas I've ever had the chance to taste, with body-heavy high relaxation and pain relief, and the stress relief brings high mental clarity. I definitely recommend it for fibromyalgia/chronic pain and PTSD symptoms. There is just something about it that makes it not the favorite for me, but it's really high up on the list considering medical marijuana.

Hits all of the earthy notes with a small twist of sweet floral or a honey aroma similar to faint osmanthus. Overall effect : calming Worth it? yes!
