While she sounds like she’s traveled from a far away place, Krishna Kush was actually developed in the good old US by Colorado Seed Inc. Breeders there crossed Lavender with Gupta Kush to create a strongly indica-dominant strain that’s great for medical use or equally wonderful as a recreational bud. The only downside, however, is that she’s quite hard to find.

Potency tends to be a bit all over the place here, as breeders state she comes in at a high 27% while others have found her closer to the low 20’s. Either way, you’re sure to be pleased as these deep green nugs take on a conical shape and boast dark amber crystals. As you would guess based on her genetics, Krishna Kush features heavy notes of lavender and skunk as you smoke, enveloping both the air around you and your tastebuds with a sweet and strong appeal.

Instead of turning into a total bump on a log when getting high, Krishna Kush allows users to tap into a more spiritual side of things. Her effects begin with a euphoric rush to the brain that infuses smokers with the deepest sense of peace possible and radiates from head to toe early on. Some may feel rather social and giggly while others sink into relaxation, but eventually, nearly everyone will experience feelings of arousal followed soon after by the desire to sleep. We’d call that a pretty perfect combination of effects, wouldn’t you?

High THC levels are often the key to certain strains being able to help with medical ailments, and Krishna Kush fits the bill with ease. Above all else, insomnia is easy to fight given her sedative nature, and both stress and depression are whisked away in a moment’s notice. If you’ve experienced tingles from cannabis in the past, we guarantee they haven’t been anything like this, and those with physical pain will find their ailments to be soothed quickly.

Now, while this bud sounds truly delightful in every sense, there’s one little problem that home growers will encounter - seeds of this gal don’t seem to be for sale anymore. At one point in time it appears that a feminized version was available, but where they are now is anyone’s guess. Colorado Seed Inc doesn’t seem to be offering up much info either, making this strain one that should top your bucket list if you ever do find it.

Between beautiful flavors and dreamy effects, Krishna Kush is the ideal strain for many cannabis lovers out there. Those who do get to experience her should invite some friends over for a laid back party, perhaps with a good movie and snacks, before the ultimate in relaxation sets in. Only then will a few be allowed to stay to see what else the night has in store.
