Aroma
Flavour
“Grape and dark berry over a sandalwood, hashy base.”
The nose is earthy and sweet: grape and dark berry over a sandalwood, hashy base. The effect is heavily relaxing — a warm, dreamy body weight that tips toward sleep, with little cerebral play.
It's dense, frosty and potent, a textbook evening indica. For grape-earth heaviness with no surprises, Purple Kush is a dependable classic.

Density varies with the grower and conditions — treat this as a tendency, not a guarantee.
The record above is the cultivar. Each grower's jar is its own plant — here is how their lots measure, from lab panels New York menus print.
Purple Kush is typically described with aromas of earthy, sweet, fruity and woody and flavours of earthy, sweet, grape and woody. Aroma and flavour vary with grower, batch and freshness.
Purple Kush is commonly associated with effects such as relaxed, heavy body, sleepy and euphoric. Effects are subjective and vary with the dose, the way cannabis is taken and the individual — this is sensory guidance, not a guarantee.
Purple Kush is classified as indica in the SŌMA catalog. These labels are a loose shorthand rather than a precise prediction of effect; studies find they do not reliably track a plant's genetics or chemistry.
By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Platinum Kush, G13 and Pakistani Chitral Kush. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
