What "Kush" means in cannabis strains?

"Kush" refers to a specific group of cannabis strains that are typically characterized by their origins in the Hindu Kush mountain range, which spans parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. These strains are often indica-dominant and are known for their relaxing effects, earthy or sweet flavors, and dense, resinous buds.

Kush strains are popular in the cannabis community and have given rise to many well-known varieties, such as OG Kush, Bubba Kush, and Hindu Kush. Each strain may have its own unique characteristics in terms of potency, flavor profile, and effects, but they generally share common traits associated with indica genetics, such as promoting relaxation and stress relief.
