Nepalese Kush

Available at New Vansterdam Medical in Portland.

Sold by Mindful Organics in Portland, this strain would be great for treating patients with high blood pressure. It has sort of a cheesy, savory flavor, with the smell of fresh herbs. The smoke starts sweet at the back of your tongue and then shifts to a nice, rounded grassy-bitter taste in your mouth. It will make you thoughtful and productive, but also eventually sleepy. It also creates a light-headed effect, with buzzing or vibration felt throughout the body. This strain brings a clear, mental heady effect, and is a great working strain. The grind is very soft and fine. It is a hard-hitting strain, though, so make sure you have a glass of water ready for after-smoke dry mouth.
