Do you know what "Kush" is? Kush, a type of cannabis, has a high THC content and is illegal in Japan. Kush varieties have a unique aroma, and Kush-flavored CBD products are gaining attention in Japan.
In this article, we will explain the ingredient called Kush, its characteristics, varieties, etc.
What is Kush?
Kush is a type of cannabis (marijuana). It is a popular cannabis variety, but it has a high THC content and is illegal in Japan.
The name Kush comes from the fact that it is grown in the Hindu Kush region, which spans Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan.
CBD liquids, waxes, etc. that contain the word "Kush" are CBD products with a "Kush-like" flavor and are not illegal.
Among the Kush varieties, the most popular is "OG Kush." It was brought to the United States in the 1970s and is considered a "hybrid variety" created by crossing Sadiva and Indica.
Characteristics of Kush
So, what are the characteristics of Kush? The characteristics of Kush include a high THC content, a rich citrus aroma, and a bright green body. Please use this chapter as a reference to understand the characteristics of Kush.
High THC content
The first characteristic of Kush is its high THC content. Cannabis varieties like Kush contain cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) , with the ratio varying depending on the variety.
In general, Kush tends to have a lower CBD content than other cannabis varieties, but a higher THC content, with some strains having around 25% THC and around 1% CBD.
In Japan, anything that contains THC is illegal. Please note that even CBD products that contain THC or are extracted from anything other than mature stems or seeds are subject to regulation.
Citrus scent
Kush is said to be a variety of cannabis with a variety of aromas. The most strongly felt aroma is the refreshing "citrus" aroma. In addition to citrus aromas, natural aromas such as "earth" and "hemp" can also be mentioned. The aroma gives off a refreshing forest-like feeling, so the aroma is also used in CBD liquids and waxes as a "Kush-like" flavor.
The true identity of this scent is the "terpenes" contained in Kush. Terpenes are the "source" of the scent, and by blending them together, you can feel the refreshing citrus scent and the earthy/hemp scent.
Terpenes are naturally occurring compounds found in the trichomes of female cannabis plants.
The fact that inhaling Kush allows you to fully experience a variety of natural aromas is why it is gaining attention in countries and regions where cannabis is legal.
Bright green
Another feature of Kush is its color. Kush is a bright green color, giving it a vibrant appearance.
Kush leaves are a deep green plant with a slight purple tint. They also have fine hairs on the surface that are rust-colored. They are rounded in shape, like a pine cone.
Green is known as a color that brings about "peace" and "healing," and is used when you want to achieve a relaxing effect. The bright green color of Kush is also a characteristic of Kush that it brings about a sense of peace.
The most popular varieties of Kush
Even though it is the same Kush, there are several varieties, each with a different country of manufacture and aroma. In this chapter, we will pick up the following five representative varieties of Kush.
- OG Kush
- Banana Kush
- SFV OG Kush
- Purple Kush
- Master Kush
We will explain each product's country of production, fragrance, and characteristics.
OG Kush
"OG Kush" is a fairly popular strain among Kush strains. Since its birth in 1992, it has continued to attract attention and is now the representative strain of the Kush species.
OG Kush is a strain created by Matt "Bubba" Burger and Josh D. In the 1990s, Matt "Bubba" Burger brought the seeds from Amsterdam to Florida and entrusted Josh D with cultivating them.
This Los Angeles-made Kush is said to have a very strong "psychological effect." It's so relaxing that some people say they can't get up right after inhaling it.
This is likely due to the fact that it has a higher THC content than other Kush strains.
Banana Kush
"Banana Kush" is a strain that was named after its aroma and taste, which resembles a banana. Its slightly sweet banana-like aroma is said to have a calming effect and to give you energy.
Kush is a popular strain in countries and regions where cannabis is legal, and is also popular among people suffering from depression and anxiety. It is said that inhaling it gives a sense of relief.
Banana Kush is a strain created by crossing two types of kush, Ghost OG and Skunk Haze, and is a so-called "hybrid strain."
SFV OG Kush
"SFV OG Kush (Indica Dominic Hybrid)" is a strain that is classified as being particularly mild among the many Kush strains. It gives you a mild sense of euphoria and happiness, so you won't feel any intense emotions.
SFV OG Kush is said to have been created by crossing two strains, the Afghani strain and the SFV OG strain.
Like Banana Kush, SFV OG Kush is also used by people suffering from depression and anxiety in countries and regions where cannabis is legal. It is also used to treat people with some kind of "pain". This is because SFV OG Kush contains a sedative effect.
What sets it apart from other types of Kush is that it is used not only as a relaxant but also as a painkiller.
Purple Kush
As the name suggests, Purple Kush is a cross between Kush and Afghani Purple. Purple Kush has a high relaxing effect. It is also said to have a longer lasting relaxing effect than the other Kush strains we have introduced so far, and you can keep yourself calm for a long time with just one inhale.
It has a similar relaxing effect, but it is also attracting attention for its "stress-relieving" effect. In addition, like SFV OG Kush, it is sometimes used as a painkiller (sedative) in countries and regions where cannabis is legal.
Master Kush
The defining feature of Master Kush, born in Amsterdam, is its aroma. With its rich and refreshing citrus aroma, Master Kush is said to provide a "high-quality" relaxing effect.
It is said that it not only relaxes you temporarily, but also gives you a truly "relieved" breath, making it perfect for a break at work. It also contains a physical stimulating effect, so you can expect your work to progress more smoothly afterwards. The good balance between the relaxing and stimulating effects seems to be the reason it is attracting attention in countries and regions where cannabis is legal.
This Kush is a variety that was born from the crossing of Kush and Skunk, and it combines the "characteristics" of both varieties. It can be used not only when you want to concentrate at work, but also before exercise. Therefore, in countries and regions where cannabis is not illegal, it is used in a wide range of scenes and is highly popular among enthusiasts.
