cut and DRIED

Nathan , the friendly budtender at Value Buds , turned Karen Lloyd on to Cold Creek Kush , and maybe even back into a regular toker .
While the name sounds rather benign compared to other well-known indica-dominant strains like Skunk or Sour Diesel , Nathan promised it would be a treat . He also said to come back and share my thoughts on the bud ’ s effects . “ Please tell Nathan thank you from Karen ,” I enthusiastically told a different budtender several days later . As I purchased more , I explained Cold Creek Kush was exactly what I ’ d been craving for a while : something uplifting , relaxing , and , of course , potent — a trio not so easy to come by it seems .
Powerful , Pungent , Pleasant Pot
Cold Creek Kush combines the almighty MK Ultra and fellow Colorado native Chemdawg 91 . In 2010 the strain scored second place at the High Cannabis Cup in the indica category and these days it ’ s often the strongest strain available at cannabis retail stores ( at least in Toronto ), unless it ’ s sold out . The powerful and pungent Cold Creek Kush smoked beautifully and slowly every time , offering a distinct minty fresh hit with a pleasant spicy aftertaste and orange citrus aroma . Boasting an average 19 percent THC , a single super chill one-gram joint could last an experienced smoker three sessions .
Kush , and Pull Lightly
With the head high of a happy sativa and the body buzz of an OG indica , Cold Creek Kush will quickly immerse you into a bottomless state of relaxation . Try it before your next massage appointment or simply sit back and listen to some tunes , read , write , doodle , and daydream . But beware of couchlock . I did let a few chores and other responsibilities slide on the days I pushed it with this kush . No worries . This strain is incredible for stress relief and is used to treat many different symptoms from chronic pain to muscle spasms . For cannabis growers , Cold Creek Kush flowers at nine to 11 weeks , producing dense , dark olive-green buds dusted with a thick layer of crystal trichomes . As this strain can reach more than 1.2 meters tall , be sure to provide adequate space if you ’ re growing indoors . A few puffs take me to the world ’ s calmest body of water where I float gently with the current and imagine clouds made of cream cheese . Only for a while , though . Cold Creek Kush is most definitely a functional kush hybrid , and long lasting . I hope Nathan gets a raise .
