Purple Kush Strain
Grape-sweet pure indica that finishes heavier than it starts.
Purple Kush is a indica strain from Hindu Kush x Purple Afghani, typically testing 17–22% THC and <1% CBD. It leans myrcene and pinene on the terpene side, smells like grape candy over damp earth, and most patients describe it as slow build, body heavy, quiet. It's a evening strain that people reach for night, rest, purple fans — ask for it at RedBilly in Colcord or Roland, Oklahoma.

Purple Kush is the pure-indica end of the purple family: two Kush parents, no sativa in the line, and an effect that goes down rather than up.
The color is real, not marketing — cold nights late in flower push the anthocyanins, and the grape note on the nose tracks with it.
Onset takes its time. Ten minutes of not much, then a settling that most patients feel first in the shoulders and jaw.
Myrcene leads, with pinene supplying a faint sharpness that keeps the sweetness from turning cloying and caryophyllene at the back.
It is a late jar. Patients who use it before dinner routinely tell us they never made it back off the couch afterward.
For lower-tolerance patients the moderate potency helps, but the depth of the body effect still catches people out, so start with less than you think.
Availability rotates with the grow cycle at Colcord and Roland. The live menu shows exactly what is in the case today.
