Fresh, which is refreshing in the Virginia market.

Flavor
The smoke is smooth and easy on the throat, making it a great choice for those who prefer a milder toking experience. The flavor is earthy with cocoa notes and hints of grape.
Lineage
Bubba Kush is an 80/20 indica-dominant strain that is believed to be a cross between an Afghani landrace strain and an OG Kush, although the exact genetics are up for debate.
Effects
As for the effects, Bubba Kush is known for its deeply relaxing high that leaves you feeling couch-locked and sedated. It is a great strain for those who struggle with insomnia, anxiety, or chronic pain, as it can provide relief and help you get a good night's sleep. The high is long-lasting and can linger for several hours, so it's best to use Bubba Kush when you have some free time to relax and unwind.
