Tuna Kush

There’s something fishy going on with this strain. Tuna Kush may not have an appealing name in comparison to strains like Blackberry Kush or Girl Scout Cookies. However, you can’t always judge a book by its cover – and the same goes for strains. Tuna Kush has plenty to offer, with a respectable THC content that makes it approachable for new smokers.

An indica-dominant hybrid, that some believe to be a Hindu Kush phenotype, Tuna Kush is actually a bit of a rare delicacy. It’s difficult to find outside of Canada, so make sure to enjoy it whenever you find some!

What Does Tuna Kush Look and Smell Like?

As its name implies, Tuna Kush has a complex terpene profile that gives it a smell similar to tuna fish. These aren’t actually the same compounds that give fish their distinctive scent. Instead, it’s a combination of earthy, pungent, spicy, and gassy aromas that combine to form a faithful recreation of tuna fish.

As if its unique aroma wasn’t enough, Tuna Kush’s taste is a fairly loyal representation of fishy flavour. Lighting this strain up brings its gassy diesel tang to the fore, assailing the taste buds with a complex combination of flavours.

What Is Tuna Kush’s High Like?

While many Kush strains are heavy-hitting Indicas that can overpower unwary users, Tuna Kush isn’t a part of that camp. Instead, its THC concentration, which ranges from 16 – 18 percent, makes it a great choice for newer smokers to cut their teeth on. It also makes Tuna Kush a great all-day strain, equally apt as a nightcap or for a wake-and-bake. Users report that Tuna Kush makes them feel a relaxed euphoria, and some may feel tired after taking a toke.

Medical marijuana patients, in contrast, can utilize Tuna Kush for its possible health effects. Cannabis may be able to alleviate symptoms of several various diseases and conditions. Tuna Kush, in particular, may relieve stress and anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain.
