Bubba Kush is a highly popular and potent Indica strain, which remains the top choice of many weed enthusiasts. The Bubba Kush is said to be a result of a cross between an OG Kush Plant and a phenotype of Northern Lights that has remained largely unnamed. The unnamed phenotype of the Northern Lights is since lost.

Before the year 1998, Bubba Kush was largely available as a clone. Today, its seeds have been replicated, packaged, and are sold actively.

This classic Indica strain provides a very solid and sedative cerebral high which relaxes the entire body. However, despite having classic Indica characteristics, the high from this strain still allows users to remain somewhat functional. This is an odd and distinct trait, considering the fact that it has a high amount of THC content, somewhere from 15% to 22%. While this THC content may be lesser than some of the highly potent strains out there, beginners with a low tolerance should still watch their dose.

The appearance, and flavor of the Bubba Kush

The Bubba Kush carries the classic weed appearance with dark green leaves, and small-medium buds. Since it is an Indica strain, its buds are highly dense (a characteristic of the Indica varieties).

Light shades of purple may also readily be visible on the buds sometimes in cold temperatures, due to the anthocyanin pigments. At the same time, its leaves and the inside of the buds are coated with white trichomes.

As far as the flavor goes, Bubba Kush offers a very distinct aroma that is similar to cocoa or coffee. Under this chocolaty scents, undertones of slight fruitiness can also be sensed. This combination results in a weird yet oddly satisfying characteristic aroma. Upon burning, Bubba Kush gives off a spicy and hashy aroma with harsh cough-inducing smoke. This particular trait seemingly comes from one of its parent plants, OG Kush.

The taste of this unique strain is sweet upon inhaling and peppery upon the exhale. Do note that this strain is quite pungent in its nature. So the users who have discretion concerns should watch out, and plan accordingly before smoking it.

The effects of the Bubba Kush

Such heavy indica strains usually result in a high which begins with slight disorientation of the sensations in the head. Such mental fogginess then turns into a body-melting sensation as the high further wears on. While the Bubba Kush may not necessarily energize the body, it still allows smokers to maintain a clear focus and to perform all sorts of different tasks. For the most part, its body high allows users to experience slow-breathing relaxation and great physical comfort. However, unlike other indica strains, the Bubba Kush does not necessarily cause couch-locking.

As far as its mental effects go, it is highly beneficial for people suffering from depression and anxiety. At the same time, larger doses can induce sleep in no time and can also provide relief from chronic pains. This makes it suitable for those who suffer from insomnia or pain due to any underlying medical condition.

An increased appetite is another common effect. While many people may consider this a side-effect, it is not less than a blessing for those who suffer from a loss of appetite.

All in all, the Bubba Kush is a heavy Indica strain with all the classic Indica qualities. Except for the fact that normal doses of the Bubba Kuch do not necessarily cause couch-locking.
