Apple Kush is an indica-dominant cannabis plant famous for its apple-peel aroma. The smoke holds the apple flavor while also oozing the diesel qualities common in most indica strains.

It typically tests at 20% THC and 0.4% CBD.

Although this strain may be an indica-dominant hybrid, its psychoactive effects appear to be more in line with sativas. Most of its buzz melts into the head and stays there. The high is simultaneously relaxing and euphoric, but its physical effects also target the head area. Its known among users to relieve pressure behind the eyes, making it a common suggestion for those looking for help with glaucoma. It starts off fairly mellow with a focus-inducing quality, though eventually its couch-locking aspect will creep up.

Expect dry, red eyes with liberal use of this strain. Dry mouth is another common side effect.

Apple Kush is believed to be a cross between Pure Kush and Sour Diesel, although other cultivators say it’s a cross of Sour Apple and OG Kush. It likely originated from a breeder in Oregon.
