What is Kush?
Kush is another term used for cannabis; it is also used in reference to a specific variety of the plant. It historically refers to indica-dominant hybrid or pure indica varieties that originated from the Hindu Kush strain, however, it is now commonly used as a slang word for weed. Though it culturally refers to high-quality, premium strains, many people use kush to refer to weed in general.
Kush Strains
The word “kush” is arguably most famously used when referring to the beloved and classic OG Kush strain, which is derived from Hindu Kush, a landrace strain. The Hindu Kush strain is an indigenous cannabis plant that originates from the Himalayan mountain range where it naturally grows free. You’ll also see the Kush lineage in strains like Afghan Kush, Bubba Kush, Master Kush, Banana Kush, Purple Kush, Pure Kush, and more.

In addition to the term “kush” being used to describe cannabis, there are nearly dozens of other words also used. This includes: marijuana, weed, pot, bud, nug, mary jane, green, flower, ganja, reefer, grass, dope, herb, tree, dope, dank, chronic, and even more.
Furthermore, there continues to be new words surfacing to describe cannabis. Other words used to describe premium weed include fire, pressure, gas, and ZaZa.
