Pink Candy, as the name suggests, has a lot to do with candy. This strain is most easily recognized by its pink-tinted THC crystals that are nearly indistinguishable from the crystal stones on the candy itself. The THC in this cannabis seems to sparkle when exposed to light, making it all too easy for users of this strain to get distracted when medicating with it. It’s important that people who use medical marijuana pay attention so they can accurately judge their doses and avoid taking too much. After all, pink candy has been known to have psychoactive effects at higher doses or in lower tolerance individuals.

While many strains look similar due to color variants within different phenotypes of the same species, Pink Candy Kush needs no research to tell it apart from other strains. The sheer number of pink-tipped THC crystals that coat the bud is unique, although there are some related strains that have similar appearances. For example, Pink Kush has many characteristics in common with Pink Candy, but lacks the strong pink coloration; instead, it tends towards purple and white (although its trichomes can be amber-coloured at times).

Pink candy kush strain buds look like pink lollipops wrapped in sugar crystals.

The dominant terpene in Pink Candy is myrcene, which is also found in strains like White Widow and Girl Scout Cookies. Myrcene is a musky, earthy terpene that can be overpowering in some cases; it’s often associated with couch-lock and sedation. However, when used in moderate quantities, myrcene can add a layer of depth to the high from THC. Other terpenes in this strain include limonene and pinene. Limonene is a citrusy terpene known for its anti-inflammatory and antidepressant effects, while pinene is a terpene with a strong pine aroma that’s been shown to have anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory effects.
