Master Kush

Lineage: Hindu Kush x Skunk #1 (disputed; also cited as two landrace Hindu Kush varieties)

Master Kush opens with a rich earthiness layered with subtle citrus and a faint floral sweetness — think damp soil and fresh lemon peel. Effects settle in as a heavy, full-body calm that melts tension without entirely clouding the mind, making it a go-to for winding down after a long day or easing into sleep. A celebrated Amsterdam classic with deep Hindu Kush roots, this one has earned its reputation across decades.
