Mad Kush
Also known as: Mad Kush OG, Mad OG Kush
What is the Mad Kush strain?
Mad Kush is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Mad Kush is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among enthusiasts seeking potent relaxation effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is widely accepted as a phenotype or cross of OG Kush genetics, possibly with other indica varieties. The strain emerged in the early 2010s within the California cannabis scene and has since spread to other markets, though it remains less common than mainstream Kush varieties.
Visually, Mad Kush typically produces dense, chunky buds with a classic Kush structure, featuring dark green foliage often accented by purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and exhibit vibrant orange pistils. The aroma profile is distinctly Kush-like, combining earthy, pine, and citrus notes with a subtle fuel undertone that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Mad Kush is noted for its potent effects that lean heavily toward physical relaxation while maintaining some cerebral clarity. The strain's name reflects both its Kush lineage and the intense, sometimes overwhelming effects reported by users. While not as commercially widespread as some other Kush varieties, Mad Kush has developed a dedicated following among indica enthusiasts who appreciate its traditional Kush characteristics and powerful sedative properties.
