Strain Information
As a pure Indica strain, Purple Kush is one flower you only want to hit when you have nothing else on your schedule for the rest of the day. It was created years ago in a part of Oakland colloquially called Oaksterdam (three guesses on how it got that name). It’s a combo of parent strains Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani, both of which combine to create a strain that’s both sweet and earthy.
The Purple Kush strain is great to use when you need to settle down and relax. It works similarly to Blueberry OG and Kaya Grape in helping you unwind. Though it doesn’t hit you over the head at first, eventually, you’ll find a peaceful couch-lock that eases away your stress and anxiety. Many also use it for bringing on an appetite and getting to sleep easier.
Visually, Purple Kush is just as stunning as the name suggests. Its dark, potent buds can almost look black at times, especially in flower that was subjected to cold growing conditions. It’s this fun look that helps this strain pair great with other purply foods and drinks – something you’re sure to find hilarious once you take a few hits.

Where The Strain Is Grown
Purple Kush comes from Oakland, California. This Bay Area city is such a popular place for growing weed that it’s now been dubbed Oaksterdam. Oakland was one of the original places where one could get medical marijuana, as far back as 2005.
Strain Summary
As one of the most classic, available purple strains of cannabis, Purple Kush is a must-try for anyone looking to kick back and zone out. The calming indica buzz gradually shifts you into complete mind and body chill.
And with clear berry and grape flavors, the Purple Kush strain gives your tastebuds something to look forward to. Have your purple-themed snacks and drinks on-hand before you start because you aren’t likely to be going anywhere once the high kicks in.
