From the island of Amami Oshima comes Shiatsu Kush, a powerful hybrid strain brought from Japan by BC Bud Depot. Bred in secret for potent relief of pain, tension, and stress, Shiatsu Kush has a sterling reputation in Japan’s cannabis underground. With a fusion of pine, vanilla, and cedar, Shiatsu Kush induces a heavy relaxation that calms the mind and body. Growers hoping to cultivate this award-winning hybrid should allow a 50 to 56 day flowering time.

This has become a “goto” strain for me. Warm and relaxed, but not so bad I can’t partake during the day. I’m not sure where others are getting some of these terpenes being reported, but to me, this is straight up Kush-nutty goodness. -Not a fruity or berry type strain. More earthy and funky, but distinct! Not chemical. -and for me, effective for all my “old-dude” complaints like stiffness, arthritis, aches, carpal…. Don’t get me wrong, this strain isn’t a “cure” for any of those things. It just makes it so you don’t really notice them. For growers, she’s quick to mature, 55-days from first pistil-shoot and she’ll be ready. Expect big, dense, red-haired colas in a classic Kush formation. If you are outdoors, be careful, bud-rot and PM are a concern late in season when the rains get going. Again, she’s thick. Otherwise let her dry appropriately before jarring and burp to release gasses periodically for the first 2.5 weeks of the cure, and you’ll be happy…

A Warriors Weed.. Starts off as my mindset calms as the day turns to night and its calm.. and The mind and body feel ready as I am a samurai warrior on my horse with my hand on my sword relax, posed and ready yet cocky with a kirked smile. As I stated In my Private vlogs The strain is from Japan! Strain was used for massaging for hundreds of years. I had never seen a strain like this! The strain stem fibers did not feel like anything Ive ever had, they felt soft and strong like bamboo. The smell was dry flower was amazing, the high is of a calm yet ready as if you are the baddest motherfuckkerr in the Valley Of Shadow Would be amazing for 3gun comp, jiu jitsu, maybe learning / or coding we will see - #TequilandTacos #ShiatsuKusho

This strain brings upon a strong sedating high that’ll leave you feeling weighted! Complete mind and body relaxation. Makes it hard to think straight or move freely but sometimes that’s the desired high. Taste is very piney with citrus undertones, no complaints there either. This is a strain perfect for ending the day/night. Definitely can’t go wrong with this strain!

This was my second strain of cannabis I had ever tried, I am very very new to the cannabis world. I had previously tried another strain and had a terrible panic attack so I was a bit nervous to try again with this strain especially one with just a little bit more THC in it. It was ranked a “level 1” at my local cannabis shop though so I wasn’t too worried. I picked myself up a box of 2 pre rolled joints and have thus far only smoked one (I bought them only a few weeks ago and I only smoke like once every couple weeks or so). It took a bit to hit but once it did I must say it was lovely! Very nice head high and no anxiety at all! I felt giggly and uplifted. I would totally recommend this strain to beginners such as my self if you’re tolerance is low and you’re looking for something relatively mild. I’ll be smoking the other joint hopefully tonight. For me this strain is a solid one for what I want and my desired effects. Overall great and lovely uplifting experience. Will be buying more in the future!

I decarbed this flower and put a full (packed) quarter teaspoonful into a bit of peanut butter and ate it. It didn't take long to kick in but I knew it was too strong right away and it kept getting stronger. I was locked into my chair listening to music for a while but I felt like I needed to get a drink of water. I managed to get to the refrigerator and take out a bottle of water and take a swig. The next thing I knew I was laying on the kitchen floor with water spilled all over me. It even took a few seconds to realize I was on the kitchen floor. I thought I was in my chair until I felt the cold tile with my hands. I tried to sit up but felt I would throw up if I did. I stayed on the floor for at least 3 tracks of music playing from the living room. Finally, I was able to get up and make it back to the chair, although I became nauseous and sweaty doing so. Later, I had to get up again and go put on dry clothes because the water that spilled on me was starting to feel cold. My legs felt like rubber bands. During all this, my Apple Watch alerted me about 5 times that my heart rate was over 120 bpm while idle. I was probably too high for 5 hours. When I finally went to bed, I felt like I was very high still but at least I had no problem going to sleep. I am afraid to try this stuff again although, maybe half as much would be just fine. If I do try it again, and it is much nicer, I will be back to edit this review or do a new one.

Wow. What a steamroller of a high, it comes on immediately and stays at that level. Consistent 50/50 head/body high. Just a party from the first toke to the last.

Your ills will commit seppuku because of shiatsu kush. Green haven's smells like pine, skunk, citrus, hops, and fennel. Looks very frosty in yellow trich with a few spots of wet trich. Mostly beige and a little bit of verities of green nugs and leaves. Sparse sprawling long dark orange hairs. The taste is very complex, reminiscent of ewok. 3 parts spicy and 2 parts sweet. Not to heavy. Effects are happy, relaxed body, and thoughtful. Negative side, a little dizzy, red eyes, and dry mouth. I like the effects a lot. I get jittery naturally and this gets me like chilling lotus style. I like the aroma, look, and effects. The taste, I don't like. 33.4% thc is very strong. I got super stoned with severe munchies. very sleepy... Shiatsu kush is good for meditating. I recommend it for treating muscle spasms and depression.

I love this strain, it has a true Indica high with very little to no paranoia depending on the person and the amount smoked. I’m really sensitive to paranoia and anxiety and this doesn’t give me either of those side effects. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a mellow,relaxing high and also needs relief from muscle and nerve pain as well as migraines. I’m a fan of Kush strains, what I love about this one is that it doesn’t make me overly tired, I can sketch or paint or just watch Netflix. I could just as easily smoke this and fall asleep, especially when I mix this with Pennywise (Indica CBD 1:1). Good strain for novices, experienced and casual smokers alike. One of my personal favorites.
