About Pakistani Kush
Pakistani Kush grows wild in the dry, mountainous regions of Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan and the northern territories. Like its Afghan neighbor, this landrace is a short, stocky indica producing extremely resinous buds. The region has a long tradition of hashish (charas) production. Pakistani landraces tend to produce more cerebral effects than Afghani varieties, with a warm, body-melting sensation that still leaves the mind clear. Its aroma is earthy, spicy, and floral with incense-like notes.
