Pure Kush

Pure Kush, also known as OG Kush, is a potent indica-dominant strain with a strong genetic backbone. It is believed to be a cross between Chemdawg and Hindu Kush. Pure Kush is renowned for its high THC content, which averages around 24%, but can sometimes reach up to 27%. The strain is composed of 75% indica and 25% sativa, making it a favorite among those seeking a heavy, relaxing high.

Pure Kush is known for its deeply calming and sedative effects, making it a popular choice for those dealing with stress, anxiety, and insomnia. However, due to its high THC content, it is recommended that beginners approach this strain with caution. Pure Kush’s potential therapeutic benefits may also include relief from chronic pain and stimulation of appetite. The strain is often described as having a complex flavor profile, with notes of earthy pine, sweet citrus, and a hint of spice.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains compounds known as cannabinoids, with the most well-known being delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain.

THC has analgesic properties that can help reduce pain, while CBD can help reduce inflammation, a common cause of many types of pain. Additionally, cannabis can help improve sleep, which can, in turn, help manage chronic pain conditions. Some studies have shown that medical cannabis can help replace or reduce the use of opioids for pain management.

Additionally, the relaxing effects of cannabis can help manage anxiety and stress, common contributors to insomnia. Some research also suggests that cannabis can help regulate sleep patterns. However, long-term use may potentially alter sleep cycles, so it should be used under medical supervision.
