Pure Kush reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Pure Kush.
Ridiculously calming. One toke and I’m sunk in my bean bag chair with no intentions of getting up. Great for the end of the day when you just want to unwind.
The Pure Kush I am evaluating I picked up from GreenHouse Centrum in Amsterdam, so that is the perspective this is based on.
When I asked to see this strain, on immediate inspection there were smaller to medium-sized buds with specks of dark green on a whitish light-green background with very few orange stigmas. I smelled it, and that is what sealed the deal (aside from the fact that it was the most premium flower they had on their menu).
On closer visual inspection, I came to appreciate just how intricate this flower was. The first word that came to mind was, ‘delicate’ when considering the overall texture and character of this strain (or at least the batch I had). These were very soft flower buds that left trails of glistening trichomes everywhere they came into contact and were slightly dense, but still soft, and definitely sticky upon some seconds into manually grinding the flowers.
Smell: pure… Kush. It has a smell that is, indeed, reminiscent of something that is the very bare backbone of all the Kush strains out there. Sweet, floral, creamy, nutty, spicy, incensy, peppery, very lightly like lavender and wood, the profile of this flower strain is complex yet offers a true expression of an aroma that can clearly be called a, ‘parent’ strain of all other Kushes even if this is merely the result of similarity of cellular/genetic aspects between strains leading to phenotypic similarities and overlap as opposed to an actual closer, familial genetic relation that can be mapped with respect to reasoning incorporating, ‘family size’ (i.e., coincidence vs. the result of being closely connected on a genetic lineage diagram). This is definitely what can be considered as an, ‘Original’.
Taste: Kush, Kush, Kush: floral and sweet with a notable pungency and a mild hint of pine. Smooth, rich, full-bodied and pleasurable to inhale for sure – this is when some of the softness and creaminess comes through onto the palate, throat and down the airway. There is a definite kick on inhalation telling you this is notable flower being intaken. Exhalation highlights the creaminess and smoothness with floral notes and secondary sweetness with pungency.
Effects: relaxing, calming, clean, full, deep, fully permeating, intense and persisting euphoric pleasure in small to moderate quantities. Sedative, markedly lingering and relentless, ‘stone’ in larger quantities. Though there is a milder cerebral component to this strain that lasts throughout the duration of its course-of-effect, one may find their entire body numb and that all aches and pains are completely relieved. I mention this because the level of efficacy I am describing, by my understanding, at least equals that of morphine without, obviously, the ramifications associated with opioids. One may or may not need to sit down upon intaking this strain; my thighs did get numb after a quarter of a gram, but I don’t know if that would apply to everyone. Pure Kush is definitely a quality strain that I consider as one of the top contenders I have had to-date.
Overall: a top-notch strain that, literally, makes my mouth water when I think of it. This is a flower that those with more grounding in Cannabis may be able to find a deeper appreciation for.
Would I buy it again? By the kilogram.
Recommend to Connoisseurs and Sommeliers? Yes! And to Sommeliers: could you please put more of this strain on the market(s)? I think this is definitely one that may be good to maintain as an, 'Original' as well as do several renditions of as was and is the case with O.G. Kush..
Recommend to first-timers and/or inexperienced consumers? Yes.
It gets you high. Does it smell good? No, its smells like vegetables. Not a good earthy smell. Does it give me a giant headache? Yes, everytime I have smoked it. I will get a big headache afterwards. Will I smoke it again? Also yes, it's still gets me high and helps my irritable bowel syndrome.
LOL, puts you on your ass. Taking a dab of this before bed ... you’ll soon be in la-la land. I do also take CBD and melatonin before bed so I’m sure that helps as well. But yes, you will be put on your rear. No, you’re not going to do that thing you were just about to do. Just sit there.
It can be a lot to take in. Smaller doses are muuuuch better, in my opinion. Good for nighttime 💨.
Smell = 9/10
Taste = 10/10
Effect = Most Excellent
I feel like I just won the Lotto....I recommend this strain to anyone looking to relieve stress/anxiety or insomnia. The effect of this flower is strong in an Indica sense (very low head high) and produce an added kick in the body stone category (arms and legs are numb).
This strain hits heavy & left me in a coma! Every time I have this strain it makes me knockout. It’s great for sleeping.
Picked this up from my go to local store Jardin today along with the same companies (Green and Gold Supply) Sour Kosher (which is 5 star and I would gladly review but isn’t listed here); grabbed an 1/8th if each. I try and find something new to try every week if I can but everyone has staples, such as berry anything for me or old school Bubba; current favorite is Skunkberry.
This is my first time trying this strain and purchased it based off of reviews here and strain characteristics documented, however, they may have grown a more Sativa pheno this go around as I was left rather underwhelmed which is sad as the jar notes it as Limited Edition for them. Hopefully not a forgotten edition as it has major potential.
Bag appeal on it is solid thought not a lot of trichomes but the buds are incredibly dense and hairs abundant so don’t get me wrong this is far from bad. The smell and flavor profile is also solid as soon as you open the jar with the classic kush smell to a tasty clean and earthy profile with a touch of that piney background. Everything was 9/10 at this point.
However, that is where I kind of just went ‘meh’. I vaped one full bowl at 355, 365, 386, and 392 and let things linger. Obviously the lower temperatures brought out the flavors, those terpene profiles and goodness and it did produce a decent high. However the high left me wondering when it was going to kick in. I would feel it behind the eyes as I was holding the vapor but it never really lasted.
The high I did get was more just, yup, you’re high. As noted perhaps this was a bunk grow season and their next harvest will be better or perhaps it is better smoked but for vaping, meh.
6/10 being generous, seemed like high school joints high. Sorry to be blunt (puntastic) as I know these are local guys but trial and error is where it’s at and look forward to re-reviewing this in the future. I wish I could review your Sour Kosher on here because, damn, now that is on another level, a new solid favorite of mine.
I use this strain for one thing and one thing only. Sleeping. This is my night time weed. I love it.
