Platinum Kush

Platinum Kush is an OG Kush and Afghani cross, valued for a silvery sheen of resin and purple-orange coloring. Our record lists it as an indica at 16% THC and 0% CBD, a single reading, against about 17% outside. The record names limonene, caryophyllene and myrcene with no percentage figures.

Flavor tags are fruity and sweet; other write-ups say sweet, hashy and fruity on the nose, with earthy and peppery notes. Effect tags are sleepy, creative, calm, with dry eyes and dry mouth as side effects, while outside reviewers list sleepy, relaxed and hungry. The high is described as cerebral at first and then body-numbing.

Our parents field lists Hindu Kush, Lemon Thai, OG Kush and Chemdawg, wider than the OG Kush and Afghani summary, so call the lineage generally credited rather than certain. That mix of a clear opening and a heavy landing makes it a good evening choice, ideally after the day's tasks are finished. Plan for dry mouth and dry eyes by keeping water and eye drops handy, and start with a small amount if you are unfamiliar with Kush strains.
