About
Pure Kush gives a short window of bliss before it knocks you out.
It is a Green House Seeds phenotype of OG Kush, not a new cross. It took 3rd Place at the 2014 Cannabis Cup. Dose it carefully and you stay awake for the euphoria; overshoot and it is a knockout.
Manage the dose or sleep.
What to Expect
Pure Kush has a two-stage effect that depends on the dose. Kept small, it opens as a happy, euphoric, blissful window; pushed further, the sedative force takes over and most reviewers describe a knockout. Leafly's reviewers lead with relaxed at 56 percent of a solid sample, with sleepiness right behind at 52.
Dry mouth is the main negative near 31 percent, with dry eyes at 19 and a paranoid note near 7. Manage the dose and it stays comfortable. This is a rainy-day, late-night strain.
Flavor and Aroma
Pure Kush smells of mint and citrus over a pungent, woody, skunky base. The flavor is more layered still: grapefruit and lemon with a bubblegum sweetness and a lemongrass edge, over a nutty earthiness. It is one of the most complex profiles in this run.
Terpenes Explained
Pure Kush's measured panel is led by Linalool, from about 0.18 to 0.40 percent, with Limonene swinging widely alongside it. Eucalyptol is on the named list but unmeasured.
Eucalyptol is the mint on the nose; it turns up on very few panels and is easy to miss. The bubblegum and lemongrass are not measured either, so they sit in lighter compounds outside the standard test. A jar with a clear mint-and-citrus lift is the fresher one.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Pure Kush THC is reported from about 15 to 24 percent, with the lab-measured sample in our data near 18. Sources describe the sedative force as stronger than the middling number suggests. CBD is a trace.
Pure Kush tests in the high teens to low twenties, but the knockout effect means a small first dose is the smart move.
