Featured MMJ Strain: Kosher Kush
Kosher Kush, an indica strain, is the highest awarded OG Kush phenotype to come from DNA Genetics. Kosher Kush is notorious for making users feel relaxed, sleepy, euphoric, happy, and hungry. Medicinally, Kosher Kush is most reported to quickly relieve stress, insomnia, pain, depression, and appetite disorders.
Kosher Kush is an OG Kush phenotype, meaning that it’s a specific physical expression of OG Kush bred out by a cannabis geneticist to create a separate strain from the original OG Kush strain. According to Leafly.com’s article on cannabis genetics, “The physical expression of a genotype is referred to as a phenotype, which is simply defined as the traits that the environment pulls out from the plant’s genetic code. Everything from color, shape, smell, and resin production are affected by the environment.”
Kosher Kush is a notoriously fragrant strain. The funky Kush smell is earthy, generally outweighing the pungent OG Gas and lemon scent it emits, although some variants of Kosher Kush may have more of a fuel-y scent than most others. While the strain is well known for its scent, it’s even more notorious for the sparkling trichomes which cover the surface of the Kosher Kush nugs, along with its famously high potency. The nugs, when properly grown, almost have linear edges to them, and grow thick with resin throughout the buds.
Included below are three reviews of Kosher Kush which MMJ patients posted on Leafly, a marijuana strain network for medical marijuana patients.
“I have crippling anxiety and panic attacks. Sometimes when I smoke I get more anxious and freak out. Kosher Kush is one of the only strains I’ve tried that makes me feel good every time I smoke it. I like the taste too, it’s earthy. I have Fibromyalgia too and it helps me deal with the pains.” -samarz
“I also notice it is quite powerful in relieving pain. I have some onset symptons of arthritis from playing the guitar and have noticed this helps alievieate some minor inflamation and various other painful symptoms. Kosher is also great for inducing a nice healthy appetite, not one of the ravenous types of “munchies” where you eat everything in the fridge and even start contemplating what lies in the dogs dish. Now that I think of it, it has helped me with nausea during the flu and as well as some minor sports injuries and migraines. If I were to ever be able to grow some personal medicinal plants, Kosher Kush would be one of the first seeds I would buy.” -Audio_Geek
