Pine Tar Strain Information

Origin and Genetics of Pine Tar Kush

A Pakistan (IBL) import that made its debut on our side of the pond in the early 80s on the west coast. A pure indica landrace strain, Pine Tar Kush is one of the more potent strains that have made it out of Pakistan. Pine Tar Kush is a pure 100% indica that has THC levels that range from 18% - 24%.

Physical Form

The first thing you notice when the bud is in your hand is how sticky it is. The name is appropriately titled because your hand will be left with a sticky film just like tar after handling one of these buds. The buds are large and very dense with a really dark presentation. The buds are dark forest green mostly, with portions of black/purple and browns giving it a strong earthy presence. The bright red hairs stand out from what's otherwise a really dark bud and don't forget that thick layer of resin coating the entire bud.

Aroma of Pine Tar Kush

You are met with an exhilarating scent of pine. It has that refreshing zip to it that awakens your olfactory nerves and instantly gives you a sense of excitement. The sweet citrus notes that add to the bright, refreshing aroma give it a warm inviting feeling. When grinded, a strong waft of skunkiness fills the air and takes you a little by surprise. It's hard to believe the skunky scent stays hidden so well until you break it down.

Flavours of Pine Tar Kush

Your tastebuds are hit with a big, refreshing citrus splash with a slight spicy sting to it and undertones of sweetened pine that sends a numbing tingle through your tongue. The very exciting flavour lights up your eyes and you become pleasantly surprised by the sweet skunky exhale that blends in nicely. You are left with a strong, sweet woody aftertaste and thick tar-like resin on your lips that has some earthy tones.

Experience

It takes a few moments before noticing the effects of Pine Tar Kush. You notice a slow lift in your chest and slight pressure on your temples that brings a happy exciting feeling. You feel a quick surge of energy before the giggles start. Giggling at absolutely nothing until your stomach is sore may cause a little exhaustion, and in no time your muscles are lax and the couch looks like the happiest place to be. The remainder of the experience is spent on the couch in a blissful daydream haze until you drift off into a deep slumber, feeling amazing once you awake.

Health Benefits of Pine Tar Kush

It is actually well documented among the Pakistani peoples who once used this strain in ancient healing rituals. They strongly believed it was highly beneficial for relieving stress, depression, and anxiety. It is also said that it is great inducing appetites to those going through chemical treatments, and many swear by its incredible ability to combat insomnia.
