Kush refers to a subset of strains of indica cannabis. The origins of Kush cannabis are from a landrace plant in Afghanistan and Northern India,[1] with the name coming from the Hindu Kush valleys.[2] "Hindu Kush" strains of cannabis were brought to the United States in the mid to late 1970s and continue to be available to the present day.[3]
Kush strains were among those cultivated by the British firm GW Pharmaceuticals for its legally licensed commercial trial of medicinal cannabis.[4]
