Best Strains of Weed: Pink Kush

How can you not fall in love with the Pink Kush strain immediately, simply by its beautiful colour and pungent smell?

Pink Kush is an indica-dominant strain known for its relaxing effects. It’s the perfect strain to have on hand to help manage stress and let go of the worries of the day. At the same time, its euphoric effects will steadily lift your mood. Personally, I find it one of the best strains for after work to help me reset, let go of my stress from the workday and refocus on my plans for the evening.

What is the Pink Kush Strain?

Pink Kush is an indica-dominant (approximately 90%) strain with about 20% THC that is believed to be a descendant of the OG Kush we all love.

Appearance

The dense and compact green nugs are punctuated by the pink highlights and coating of trichomes that almost give it a glazed candy-like look. It’s a beautiful strain that boasts an array of beautiful colours and has a thick coating of sticky resin that gives it a bit of a frosty appearance. Super Pink Kush is a AAAAA strain with similar characteristics.

Aroma

I would describe the aroma of this strain as pungent and striking, but it has some sweet undertones. You can definitely smell a sweet and rich vanilla scent along with some berry and floral notes.

The aroma of Pink Kush is powerful but not too overwhelming. However, I would recommend storing it in an airtight container.

Flavour

Pink Kush has an intense flavour that shouldn’t surprise you, considering its equally intense aroma. It begins with a sweet flavour that I would describe as candied vanilla, followed by a floral taste with hints of pine or even dank earth. Cannabis strain connoisseurs tend to love the intricate taste of this strain.

Best Uses of Pink Kush

The main benefits of Pink Kush are its calming effects, making it perfect for the end of day relaxation and managing stress and anxiety. Its wonderful body feel is excellent for those who experience pain and may be looking for ongoing pain management.

At the same time as relaxation, Pink Kush provides a euphoric effect that can help lift your mood. This can be great to help you get into your self-care at the end of the day, especially those creative projects.

Pink Kush also may be helpful for those who are experiencing symptoms of depression.

At higher doses, Pink Kush can be helpful for sleep.

Side Effects of the Pink Kush Strain

As with any cannabis strain, some users may experience side effects. These may include dry eyes, dry mouth and sometimes mild paranoia. This reaction can be common for strains like this, but I wouldn’t consider it to be too significant or bothersome.

Pink Kush is included in the 10 Best Weed Strains in Canada, and I definitely get it; it’s one of my go-tos.

As always, please smoke responsibly!
