(AA+) Grape Kush

Grape Kush hits the smoker quickly, conferring a head-focused high that begins as a prickling, tingly sensation around the eyes and upper face. Thoughts may take on a cloudy, dreamy character and jump around in a freely-associative manner. This change in thinking is accompanied by a stimulation of the senses — sights and sounds may take on strange new dimensions, making trippy music or movies particularly fun during this phase of the high. Shortly after smokers have acclimated to this altered mindset, a profoundly relaxing body high creeps in. Waves of relaxation spread down from the neck and radiate out through the core, prompting many to take a load off in the closest comfortable surroundings. Grape Kush’s headrush is not particularly cerebral and therefore not very conducive to accomplishing tasks that require sustained concentration. As a result, productivity becomes even less likely as this strain’s deep, soothing body high sets in. Couch lock can be a real possibility as the high wears on, as can deep, intractable sleep. Grape Kush’s holistic, full-body effects make it a great way to relax after a long day or week of work, especially when shared with a group of like-minded friends. Because of its sleepy vibes, this strain is best reserved for nighttime (or even bedtime) consumption.

Grape Kush can also have several benefits and applications for medical cannabis patients. Its mood-elevating properties can temporarily improve the symptoms of mild to moderate stress, depression, and even anxiety. Its physically numbing properties can also soothe deep, nerve-related aches and pains, as well as more minor annoyances like headaches and nausea. Finally, as noted, Grape Kush can be an effective antidote to difficult cases of insomnia. Because this strain is unlikely to bring about strong, recursive thinking and paranoia, it can be a good option for patients who are prone to panic or who have a low THC tolerance. Learn more.
