Blood Orange Kush

Blood Orange Kush is a rare and mysterious indica-dominant cannabis strain (cultivar) with a parentage that is not fully known. Made by crossing Aota with Pinecracker and an unknown OG strain, Blood Orange Kush features moderate THC levels, low CBD, and a bright citrus-forward flavor profile.

Blood Orange Kush has been described as a citrus orchard, as some users praise the strain’s fresh orange, and sometimes tart citrus, flavor profile. Citrus aromas are also potent in Blood Orange Kush, which has earthy and diesel undertones.

Some cannabis users turn to Blood Orange Kush for help with chronic pain and depression. THC levels topping out at 15% may be helpful as a supplemental pain management treatment.

Like many cultivars with high concentrations of THC, an overly high dose can transform a fun, uplifting high into an unpleasant experience characterized by paranoia. THC-dominant strains such as Blood Orange Kush have heavy effects that are more likely to induce paranoia than strains with balanced ratios of THC to CBD.

Medical Applications

While Blood Orange Kush is often associated with its mood-elevating effects, the cultivar's myrcene and pinene content means it can also provide full body relaxation. According to anecdotal reports, this strain can support sleep, ease anxiety, inflammation and stress, and relieve pain and discomfort. In particular, user reviews suggest its high concentrations of THC may be particularly suited to easing the chronic inflammatory pain associated with autoimmune disorders such as fibromyalgia.

Anxiety, Panic Disorders

With users lauding its near-instant effects, Blood Orange Kush may help individuals looking for rapid relief from anxiety. The strain’s purported giggly and euphoric properties may provide mental uplift, while its relaxing qualities can help to ease the physical effects of mental tension.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Blood Orange Kush may help some people combat chronic pain. THC levels of up to 15% help reduce muscle soreness, joint stiffness from arthritis, and other types of chronic pain.

Depression

Depression symptoms may be relieved temporarily when using Blood Orange Kush weed. The strain’s euphoric and giddy effects help some feel uplifted and energized.

Dosing

Blood Orange Kush is a cannabis variety that may be appropriate for users of all levels. Mid-level THC concentrations (15%) make the strain potent but not overpowering, especially through ingestion methods like tinctures and topicals. Users report that a little can go a long way with this strain, so it may be wise to stick to the often-used adage of “start low and go slow.”
