What is the Origin of the Candy Kush Strain?

This strain is the lovechild of two absolute classics from the West Coast, and we’re glad it’s made its way to Colorado. The lineage includes OG Kush and Trainwreck, both of which are epic on their own. Somehow, though, they seem to be even better together. 

The genetics from OG Kush has been used to cultivate some of the best cannabis strains in the world. It was originally created in Florida in the 1990s, but it made its way back to Los Angeles in 1996 and started lending its qualities to famous varieties like GSC, Headband, and more. One of the quintessential hybrids of all time, it’s famous for its pungent scent of skunk, spice, and gas.

Trainwreck is another hybrid, though it leans slightly more to the sativa side of things than OG Kush does. This strain is the result of repeated crossings of Thai and Mexican sativa landrace strains with Afghani indica landrace strains. The result is a strain that’s known for delivering feelings of euphoria, focus, and creativity. While some people report that it makes them feel productive, other people say the psychedelic effects of this flower hit them like a train.

What is the Smell, Taste, and Appearance?

Candy Kush has inherited some of the best characteristics from both Trainwreck and OG Kush. The beautiful buds showcase a range of vibrant colors ranging from light green to darker forest greens and even splashes of purple. The flowers often include some dark orange hairs, and they always include a generous dusting of sparkling trichomes.

Once you start breaking this bud up, make sure to let your nose explore and enjoy the unique terpene profile. Notes of earthy citrus plants mingle with diesel, and there’s a sort of sweetness that’s not quite like anything else. The name really seems to hit this aroma and flavor on the head, because there’s an unmistakably sugary twist on the classic kush palate.

What are its Effects?

The THC level for this strain has tested at 28.6%, which definitely qualifies it as a heavy hitter. In other words, this isn’t your grandfather’s cannabis. The effects of Kandy Kush are almost always described as being pleasant, but you should still treat this strain with a great deal of respect and restraint. 

Proceed with caution and moderate your serving size to prevent the experience from becoming overwhelming. This may be easier said than done since the taste is so interesting, but trust us, especially when you’re planning on staying up to enjoy the effects. If you overdo it with this flower, the heavy body high might just put you to sleep.

Customers who enjoy more moderate amounts of this strain say it puts them in the happy place. This makes it ideal for creative pursuits, sharing a meal with a loved one, or lounging while you watch a movie. Some people have reported that this strain makes their mouths feel especially dry, so you may want to have something to sip on while the soothing sensations wash over your body and mind.
