Charles Kush Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From:  Medicine on the Hill

Grade:  B+

Type: Mostly Indica (80 – 90%)

Price: $20/gram

Appearance: (7/10) The flower is sparkling with milky white trichomes, packed full of dark red-hairs.  Medium green colored packs, with hints of dark-purple. Some phenotypes are known to turn very purple or have stronger odors.

Aroma: (6/10) Has the pungent smell of kush.  The aroma is not as strong as some other strains I had, but still very captivating.

Taste:  (7/10) Incredibly smooth smoke.  Great taste of kush, with a piney after-taste.

Effects:  Hits real fast and feels like it slows time.  Makes you feel a bit “light-headed”, sativa type of headiness at first and slowly turns to its indica dominant side with great relaxation throughout the body.

Buzz Length: Short-Medium. 1.25-1.5 hours

Medicinal Use:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Great medication for an evening at home.  The sedating effect it has makes this strain a great muscle relaxing herb.  Really calms down my nerves and eases paranoia which is great for a bedtime smoke.

Overall:  Absolutely beautiful in so many ways, Charles’ Kush is definitely an incredible herb.  The effects caused by this medication are exactly what many people search for in an indica dominant strain.  The smoke is super smooth and really thick; like blowing out clouds of Kush.  Great bud to leaf ratio, and our samples were extremely well manicured.  Bred in Canada, where it comes from a Kush and another homogenous (IBL) strain, this med is a great end-of-the-day type of smoke and many will be very happy with its qualities.

Banana Kush Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From:  Urban Dispensary

Grade:  A-

Type:  Hybrid – 60% Indica dominant (Sensi Seeds Banana x OG Kush)

Price:  $18/gram $50/8th

Appearance:  The sample acquired had very loose bud structures, but were sparkling with very shiny trichomes.  An above average visual appeal for this Kush strain.

Aroma: Yes, it does really smell like bananas, though the strong kush scent will overpower once crushed or ground.

Taste:  That banana taste lingers in your mouth.  Very sweet and pleasant.

Effects:  This was a classic Indica body buzz, focusing its effects in the chest region (some feeling heavy and others feeling expanded or full).  The sample provided quick results with some dizzy or light headed effects for the initial 5 -10 minutes.

Duration:  Long. 2+ hours

Medicinal Use:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) Medium pain medication (strong enough for neck and back nerve pain).  Induces strong drowsiness after initial 30 minutes, which would be great for a tasty late night medicine, provides overall muscle relaxation and relieves nausea.  The chest concentration should be considered carefully for any respiratory patient.

Overall:  This smoke can induce mild coughing fits as the expansion stays with you for a minute or two after smoking.  It carries a solid potency for a fruity named strain and can be enjoyed sitting or on the go.  It has a talkable nature, but also gives a nice introspective experience to the patient.  The taste and smell are absolutely captivating, and makes for a really tasty joint to share with a group.

Purple Kush Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From: Health Depot

Grade:  B+

Type:  Indica-dominant hybrid, see its Strain Encyclopedia entry for more info

Price:  $50/8th

Appearance:  (8/10) Rich hues of green leaves and purple buds. Long Hawaiian looking orange hairs.  When taking a closer look (30x), the sparkling trichome structure looked exquisite with long milky stems and huge mushroom tops still intact.  Absolutely gorgeous.

Aroma:  (7/10)   Not real fragrant from the outer smell, but exploding with lemons and oranges when broken up.  Fruity, Floral, Signature Purple, Sweet.

Taste:  (3/10) Woody, soil, pine, earthy.  Disappointing to say the least, nothing like the fragrance.

Effects:  Took a few minutes for the medicine to take effect, but when it does,  your body  will feel very heavy. Focusing is a bit of a task, and it really gives a time-slowing effect.

Duration:  Medium.  1.5 hours [Pain relief does last longer]

Medicinal Use:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Good for the many people suffering from chronic back pains, and great for relieving sleeping disorders.  No paranoia or anxiousness at all, and has a relaxing comedown.

Overall:  If you’re seeking a medicinal indica this one will work, but we can’t recommend it over The White unless you are looking for a sleeping aid .  It provides pain relief that last for hours, and I didn’t need much to medicate.  The sleepiness blankets your eyes and eases nerves, making it an ideal bedtime smoke.  The “potency/high” effect isn’t very strong, but the medicinal value certainly is.

Sunset Kush Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From:  AMCH (Alternative Medicine on Capitol Hill)

Grade:  B+

Type: Hybrid (White Widow x Mystery Kush)

Price:  $50/8th

Appearance:  (8/10) Dense lime-green nugs with fair bud to leaf ratio, and powdery crystals falling off everywhere.

Aroma:  (8/10) I had no idea this bud was going to smell so good.  An explosion of berries and sweet candy aroma emits when handling the nugs.  Smells kind of like fruity pebbles with kush milk.

Taste:  (5/10) Smoke goes down real smooth with a touch of fruity and earthy tastes – a bit charred.

Medicine Type:  Makes the mind feel at ease with a mellow head high.  Has a great tranquil body aspect that kicks in, and does not induce couch-lock. An adventure and conversation medicine.

Medicine Length:  Medium. 1.5 – 2 hours

Medicinal Use:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  A must have strain for patients looking for appetite inducing effects.  Gives me really bad cotton mouth and dehydration.  Good body relaxer, but my back pain never seemed to melt completely away – mild pain reliever.

Overall:   Sunset Kush has good looks, but the most enjoyable characteristic is the aroma.  It smells so sweet, yet, sophisticated, I can’t help but keep sniffing it.  It delivers a potent medicine which mellows in to a relaxing upper body high.  This is a very interesting smoke, that is sure to stink up your car on the ride home.  Could easily be called the Sunrise Kush, good morning medication.

Sour Kush Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From:  The Breck Loft

Grade:  A-

Type:  Hybrid (**Sour Kush = Soma’s NYCD x Abusive’s OG Kush aka LA Kush)

Price:  Unknown – They say call for pricing, but won’t give pricing over the phone (We’ve tried many times).  Their good medicine is very expensive.

Appearance: Very dense buds.  The crystals are very sparkly and glisten with milky trichomes.  Little hints of purple, and definitely shows both Sour Diesel and Kush characteristics.

Aroma:  Really strong kush aroma with a hint of citrus.

Taste:  Strong kush taste with a super sour taste that lingers.

Buzz Type:  Strong body high will leave you planted.  Left me feeling very slow and sluggish.

Buzz Length:  Long. 2+ hours

Medicinal Use:  (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY) The strong body effects induced by this medicine are exactly what I need after a long day.  It sooths aches in my back and leaves me medicated for quite a long time.  Nerve, Muscle, Anxiety, Behavior.

Overall:  Mixed with Sour Diesel x Masterlow or Sour Diesel x OG Kush genetics, these buds are highly resinous and bud structure is absolutely gorgeous.  Huge swollen calyxes make this strain yield much more bud to leaf ratio.  I think this is a beautiful mix of strains that really show off its best traits.  Copious amounts of crystals, delicious citric-sour taste, and a great buzz makes this a treat for any time of the day.
