This strain is an evenly balanced Indica/Sativa strain that traces its lineage to OG Kush and Trainwreck. It has a sweet citrus with a slight skunky taste that makes it a great choice at the end of the day or evening. Think of it as the cannabis strain of choice to unwind and relax.

Kandy Kush (Candy Kuch) is a cross between two California classic favorites, the OG Kush and Trainwreck.

Kandy Kush Effects

People do different things to create a distraction once dealing with stress or anxiety issues. What happens is that even in doing something else, the mind remains disturbed and tension remains in the body. And that is where medical cannabis can become useful.

A few puffs of Kandy Kush and a calming sensation creeps into the head pretty quickly. A little too much, though, it becomes a couch locker.

Kandy Kush  is one of the most potent medical cannabis if you are seeking relieve stress. Once it hits you, a general sense of calmness envelopes your mind and uplifts your spirit.

As its effect works its way down to the body, a sense of relaxation reduces the tension in your body. And that is why it is taken in moderation and at the end of the day when it is time to rest and chill.

Besides the generally happy mood, some smokers may also experience a sense of euphoria, so expect to have that blissful smile on your face, and possibly, a little giggling. For novice users, the sudden head rush can fool people into wanting to take a few more puffs. But once the sedative-like quality begins to take its effect on the body, you may find yourself unmoving and in a mindless bliss.

For those who lack the appetite, Kandy Kush may help with that. In fact, those who do have a need to shed off a few or more pounds should be wary of eating too much, if that is one of the manifestations of its effects.

The general effects of the Kandy Kush strain lean heavily towards the euphoria side of the spectrum and are characterized by a powerful happy and relaxed feeling. This euphoria is often described as a “hybrid-type high” that results in a vibe that is chill but still cheery and actively engaged. Indica-heavy strains like Kandy Kush have been known to produce very powerful body highs that can cause extreme couch-lock. Be prepared.

Kandy Kush goes to work almost immediately producing dopamine that results in intense cerebral effects followed by a heavy, time-stopping body high. Because of this, and the fact that highs can last from 2 to 2.5 hours, Kandy Kush is recommended as an evening strain for most users.

Kandy Kush Side-Effects

The nice thing about the Kandy Kush strain is that its side-effects are almost non-existent (as marijuana goes) and the side-effects that it does have can be dealt with fairly easily. Anxiousness, headaches, and dizziness are on the extreme low end of the scale so you don’t have to worry about that backlash. What you do have to worry about (or at least deal with) is dry eyes and dry mouth. Kandy Kush can cause a middle-of-the-road dry-eyes effect but dry mouth is what you really have to look out

One thing Kandy Kush does is that it could make you feel dry and that is why you need to drink lots of fluid to stay hydrated, and keep your mouth moist. On rare occasions, and especially when smoking too much, it may also cause dry eyes, cause mild headache or induce slight paranoia.

As with other strains that exhibit these drying side-effects, a couple drops of saline solution and a water bottle will have those licked in no time. Just be glad you don’t have to worry about anxiousness, headache, and dizziness.That said, Kandy Kush does exhibit a pretty intense sleep-inducing effect so you might want to think about staying at home (or at least near a couch) with this strain. While not a side-effect, per se, drowsiness certainly isn’t conducive to outdoor activities (unless it’s sleeping on the lawn). So order a pizza, find your spot on the sofa, fire up a fatty of Kandy Kush, and spend some quality time inside.
