A decade ago, some of the best weed I had in Vancouver was Pink Kush, a famed BC strain you could call a cousin to California’s beloved OG Kush. I was determined to find it again, and the BC-based, greenhouse growers Pure Sunfarms delivered. Pink Kush is, sadly, not truly pink in color, but it has what I call a pink aura when held at the right angles. If you tend to avoid the Kush family because they sedate you a little too much, or just want to try a local heritage cultivar, she’s for you!
This Pink Kush has a rugged, leafly look to it, but with a decent amount of spring even though it was packaged in late December (always ask to check the pack date!). The buds crack open to that musty forest smell, with a slight turpentine edge. The dry pull is like a walk in the woods in summer, and it smoked the same. This Pink Kush was hella euphoric, full of the same tingly, zen feeling I remember from my college days.
