Kush Mountains

Kush Mountains is a contemporary cannabis strain that leans heavily into the storied Kush family, a lineage that traces back to the rugged Hindu Kush mountain range along the Afghanistan–Pakistan border. In cannabis vernacular, the word “Kush” signals resinous flowers, earthy-fuel aromas, and a relaxing, often sedative physiological effect profile. Leafly summarizes the origin succinctly: Kush varieties descend from landraces native to the Hindu Kush region, selected for survival in high-altitude, harsh climates. The “Mountains” moniker is both a nod to that geographic heritage and a promise of towering potency and structure. Modern growers and consumers often use the name to denote a Kush-dominant hybrid with thick trichome coverage and dense, conical buds. Expect a profile reminiscent of OG Kush and Hindu Kush—fuel, pine, citrus, and incense—paired with a body-forward calm that has defined the family for decades.
