Strain of the Week: Royal Kush

[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap”]R[/dropcap]oyalty may feel like it’s a thing of a past, but it has been in our lives for ages. All of the historically good (and mostly not-so-good) royal leaders of the world created an illusion of greatness. Think of the Arthurian legend of King Arthur and his court, or Cleopatra as a ruler of Egypt. Royalty is tied to the qualities it takes to rule a community or a kingdom, usually as deemed by blood relations. Now in today’s world, royalty has been reduced to what’s left of monarchies, as seen in England, and in fictional children’s movies about princesses and princes. We can assure you though that a strain like Royal Kush is very deserving of such a title.

According to CULTURE reviewers, the Kush strain is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, strain ever developed. This proud family line is littered with unique variations that stem from its source. When it comes down to the nitty-gritty, each one exemplifies why Kush cannabis remains in such high demand. Royal Kush is a hybrid created by the crossing of Afghani and Skunk#1, an indica and hybrid respectively.

With both an appearance and a smell that is sweetly Dank, the buds on this strain are large and lime green with hints of faded sage which complement its spongey texture and abundance of sparkling trichomes. (It would probably be cool scenery for your model railroad too.) One hit and you know you are smoking OG from its distinctive taste to the rapid spread of its uplifting euphoric state. Expect very pronounced body effects with intense tactile stimulation. Don’t be afraid to be physical. Running your hand over your body will be enjoyable—running your hand over the body of someone you really like will be transcendental. Whether it makes you feel like royalty or not, you’re bound to have a good time regardless.
