Bubba Kush

INDICA

Bubba Kush emerged from the LA scene in 1996 from a pre-98 OG Kush cut crossed with an unknown indica. It quickly became the go-to heavy indica for the West Coast. The coffee-chocolate-hashish flavor profile is entirely unique — there's nothing else like it. It's pure, unapologetic indica sedation.
