Hindu Kush Strain
Landrace indica from the mountains the whole category is named after.
Hindu Kush is a indica strain from Afghan/Pakistani landrace, typically testing 16–20% THC and <1% CBD. It leans myrcene and caryophyllene on the terpene side, smells like sandalwood, sweet earth, a dry hash note, and most patients describe it as heavy body, quiet head, sleepy. It's a evening strain that people reach for night, rest, traditional hash lovers — ask for it at RedBilly in Colcord or Roland, Oklahoma.

Hindu Kush is not a cross. It is landrace stock out of the mountain range that gave the whole indica category its name, and it smokes like something that predates the modern shelf entirely.
The aroma is the tell. Sandalwood and dry earth rather than fruit or fuel, with a hash-like sweetness that shows up strongest right after the grinder.
Potency runs modest against today's numbers, but the body effect does not read modest. It arrives low and stays low, which is exactly what patients who dislike racy highs are asking for.
Myrcene leads, with caryophyllene and humulene filling in the spice underneath. That combination is why the finish feels warm rather than sharp.
This is a night jar. Patients who use it in the afternoon almost always tell us they lost the rest of the day to the couch.
It is also one of the more forgiving cultivars for lower-tolerance patients, because the ceiling is lower than the 25%-plus shelf and the onset is gradual.
Availability rotates with the grow cycle at Colcord and Roland. The live menu shows exactly what is in the case today.

How strong is Hindu Kush?
Published testing typically runs 16–20% THC, which is moderate compared to current hybrid shelves.
What does Hindu Kush smell like?
Sandalwood and sweet earth with a dry, hash-like note that gets stronger once it is ground.
Is Hindu Kush good for sleep?
Patients commonly reach for it late at night for that reason. It is a preference, not a medical claim.
