Introduction to the Kush Marijuana (Hindu Kush)
What is Kush?
Kush marijuana, or Hindu Kush, is a strain of Cannabis indica native to Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and northwest India. Years later it was taken to the United States in the 1970s.

Origin and History of Kush Marijuana

As a result of its use in the countries where it was grown indigenously, in the 1970s it began to be brought to the United States, where this variety was exploited much more, during the era of the "hippie trai", travelers and explorers from the West discovered the cannabis varieties of this region and began to bring Kush seeds back to their countries. This marked the beginning of the globalization of Kush marijuana.
Since its arrival in the West, Kush marijuana has been the basis for numerous breeding programs, giving rise to a wide range of new varieties that retain the distinctive characteristics of the original Kush: potency, earthy and piney aroma, and a robustness that makes it adaptable to different growing conditions. Strains such as OG Kush, Bubba Kush and Purple Kush are just some of the best known direct descendants.
