Platinum Kush burns with a skunky, earthy smell and the flavor is smooth and sweetish, with notes of pine, berries and citrus. The effects come on quickly after inhaling, and start with a heavy body hit that then gives way to a relaxing, almost narcotic high that can last for two hours and more. This is a powerful weed and more than a couple of hits often lead to couchlock. Medical dispensaries prescribe it for nausea, stress and insomnia.
Insomnia
Plum Crazy Purple (PCP)
Plum Crazy Purple, an indica strain, is a marriage of Purple Urkle and Purple Afghani, which gives this strain a vibrant, otherworldly look. It will take your body to nirvana and makes a great sleep aide.
Purple Nepali
A happy, medium-level indica, this strain will not leave you stuck on the couch but is best used when you are looking to unwind at the end of the day. Sweet and flowery, Purple Nepali has a mellow, earthy grape taste that complements its almost completely purple leaves.
The Purps
Mendocino Purps, or Mendo Purps, or even just The Purps, comes out of Mendocino County in Northern California. Winning one of the Top Ten slots in High Times Strains of the Year in 2007, The Purps began as a clone-only plant, but BC Bud Depot developed a stable cross to make the seeds available. The taste has been likened to a caramel coffee and woodsy pine.
Loc Dog
Loc Dog is spicy and earthy like an OG Kush with strong body effects perfect for relaxation any time of day.
Merlot
Created in 2006 as an attempt to breed a purple strain of OG Kush. Merlot has deep berry flavors and relaxing vibes without sleepy side effects.
Master Kush
Master Kush is a strain whose ancestors originate from the Hindu Kush mountain range stretching between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Kush family of strains are known for their earthy, spicy aromas and heavy, stoney indica effects sure to keep you locked to your couch in a state of bliss.
Northern Lights / Blueberry
With a signature blueberry aroma underscored by notes of earthy hash. Despite its heavy indica influence, Northern Lights / Blueberry (aka Northern Berry) delivers a complex balance of cerebral and body effects best suited for late afternoon or evening consumption. Novices, take caution: Northern Berry is an intense experience for both mind and body, and may induce an early night’s sleep when overdone. However, for you patients treating pain and insomnia, these crushingly heavy effects may be just what you need to put symptoms to rest.
OG Afghan
If it’s Kush you’re looking for, then OG Afghan might just be the answer to your prayers. Crossing cannabis powerhouses OG Kush and Afghan Kush, this strain defines indica dominant hybrid with its heavily sedating effects that relinquish bodily tension and mental fatigue. Each whiff and inhale covers the palate with an earthy, forested musk, with touches of pinewood lingering long after you exhale. Patients seeking powerful relief from chronic or acute pain should look no further than OG Afghan. Reports have also shown OG Afghan to aid in relieving insomnia, anxiety and depression, and Crohn’s Disease.
Oregon Grape
A unique cross of two powerhouse strains from the 90’s, Oregon Grape is a rare clone-only variety exclusive to the Pacific Northwest. Those who are lucky enough to come across this hybrid can look forward to its amazing mood elevating abilities that pair well with its strong body relaxation. As its name implies it carries a strong, sweet grape aroma.
