Coming to us straight from the Netherlands, Master Kush is an Indica strain you want to let loose with on the weekends. Not just a recreational strain, it can aid you in fighting all sorts of physical and mental illnesses and help you overcome them. Introduced in the 90s, Master Kush is still a famous and sought-after strain with no hint of fading into the background. It has won multiple awards in the cannabis industry like the Cannabis Cup 1992 and 1993 and still going strong. Ask any experienced stoner or a cannasseur, and they’ll have crossed paths with this Master strain. Once you get to know it intimately, you’ll also add it to your top 5 list.

Many expert stoners say that this is the ultimately balanced bud. It’s not your usual Indica. It helps your creativity soar and sharpens your senses without getting you too excited or couch-locked. Originally, it was named High Rise due to the building where the Dutch White Label Seed Company created it. Later renamed, Master Kush is a cross between two famous landrace strains that hail from the Hindu Kush region. Although we don’t know much about the parentage, many believe it to be a direct descendant of Skunk #1 and the Hindu Kush.

One reason why this strain is so popular is Snoop Dogg. That’s right. Snoop Dogg is a cultivator himself, and he popularized Master Kush even more than it already was by using it as a parent for his line of buds.

Master Kush has a THC level of 24% and helps medicinal users with their physical and mental ailments. It can help ward off stress, anxiety, insomnia, and physical pains and aches. This hunger also helps with a lack of appetite. Remember that it brings on the munchies, so stock up, or you’ll end up making a last-minute call to your local food joint.

Not just known for its high, Master Kush is also a beauty to look at with deep green leaves and orange pistils covered with sticky white trichomes. The flavour is earthy but pleasant, with an undertone of floral notes. The aroma is citrus and strong. All it takes is a toke (pun intended), and you’ll fall in love with the pine-like flavour and the earthy aroma. It is an excellent option for those looking for a balanced strain that’s not too overbearing.
