About
Purple Kush is an indica cannabis strain, bred by Tastebudz. Lab samples test between 12.7% and 17.1% THC, with myrcene (0.57%) as the dominant terpene. Reviewers most commonly report relaxed, sleepy, and uplifted effects, with berry and earthy flavor notes.
Why does Purple Kush have these effects?
Purple Kush's effects are driven by its dominant myrcene (0.57%), which has sedative and muscle-relaxant properties, combined with caryophyllene (0.50%), one of the few terpenes that binds directly to CB2 cannabinoid receptors.
