  1. Kush and og are both Indica not Sativa. Hindu comes from the Hindu mountains that produce the best hash which is Indica. I’m hoping this message is well received.

    • Its amazing how people that dont know shit are the ones that wanna write about it. Also drives me nuts when people refer to og kush as simply “kush” which is ignorant and obviously never dealt in straight kush. In ny from 2005-2008 thats all i was about- the kush… and sometimes purple kush. East coast shit
