Hello everyone!
It's been quite some time since I posted a strain review, and so far I haven't done any on Hive.
So as a first time hive strain review I bring you something special, the Purple Kush!
Every wondered if all those pictures of purple weed strains on the internet are real or fake?
Most certainly looks fake, but is it really?
Well, a few days ago a friend of mine visited an brought me some Purple Kush!
And let me tell you and show you, the Purple ain't just in the name!
check it out:

Yes, its really purple, in fact, it's a very dark purple, to the naked eye it looks almost black, I wasn't able to capture that color with the camera, gets even a lil more darker to the human eye then on the photo bellow:
Purple Kush is a crossed strain, dominantly indica.
It has a wonderful sweet fruity smell, which is not aggressive, rather mild, if i had to guess blindly, I would say it remindes me a little bit of mango.
The buds were very easy to grind down with fingers, with little to non stickyness.
For my review joint, I didnt put in all too much, so I could judge the effects better, not to get HAF.
It was rolled with a mix of the blue Pueblo tobacco (my new favorite, cos of the lightness which lets the weed strain come more to light while smoking).
The smoke is not aggressive at all, easy strain to smoke.
The flavor is a mild fruity one which makes smoking this one a joy, especially for people like me who favor the mild fruity strains over the hardcore ones.
The effects i would describe as a mix between stoned and high.
While clearly relaxing the body, it won't get you stoned to the point where you will be unwilling to move and lazy.
On the other hand it also gives a little head high, which won't stop u from doing ur daily routing, or in fact it might even boost your productivity and creativity.
I noticed the effects wearing out after about 2 hours after smoking.
Overall I'd say this is a very tasty strain, not harsh on your throat.
It's Suitable for daily smokers as it wont mess you up to the point where u wanna cancel your remaining day to get through the high.
Recreational smokers shouldn't be afraid of this strain either, although it looks almost "mythical" and dangerous, it's actually tamable, I would even go as far as saying it's an appropriate strain even for first time smokers.
But of course, remember not to roll up more then u can handle :)
Leaving you with a nice mix to enjoy alongside your smoke ;)
Kind regards, OZ
