About Redwood Kush

---

Redwood Kush is a tasty Indica-dominant hybrid strain of cannabis. This beautiful flower’s true origins remain shrouded in mystery as no known breeder can be established as the creator of this strain. However, it’s a safe bet that this strain was created within the US as its namesake trees are incredibly popular in the Pacific Northwest, where recreational cannabis is legal.

This bud likely has a number of phenotypes, as reports and pictures of this bud show drastic differences in color. Sometimes this bud takes on a very pastel, mint color. Other times, Redwood Kush buds are deep forest greens. Although most trimmers are quite talented, do not be surprised to find sugar leaves in this flower, as it is an incredibly leafy bud. As the name suggests, this bud smells like a forest would. Rich earthy undertones highlight a damp, woody pine scent that many have suggested smells exactly like a redwood forest. Likewise, the flavor is also very earthy and woody, but it is surprisingly smooth and tasty. For fans of earthy tasting flower, Redwood Kush is sure to be a treat.

Like many Indica-dominant hybrid strains, Redwood Kush has been known to cause couch lock. Couch lock, for those of you unfamiliar, is that sensation after smoking where you’re so relaxed you cannot stand up to get out of the sofa or chair. Thus, many recommend smoking this flower in the evening after your responsibilities have been met and you can afford to take a load off and relax for a bit. Expect a rush of relaxation to overwhelm your body immediately after hitting this bud. As you begin to experience uplifting emotions such as elation and happiness, your mind begins to fade off into space. Likewise, your body’s physical aches and pains such as nausea, chronic pain, muscle spasms, and arthritis will fade from existence for some time.

Redwood Kush has become incredibly popular in the medical cannabis community because of its potent effects. This strain also has a noteworthy THC level that falls between 17-26%, often testing higher than 20%. Combined, this strain’s effects and THC levels treat a myriad of ailments while managing to remain tasty and smooth. Those suffering from intense anxiety, panic attacks, and stress will find its physical and mental relaxation key to overcoming adversity. This strain has been reported to also calm gastrointestinal discomfort in addition to increasing appetite.
