Collie Man Kush strain guide
Collie Man Kush is an indica-leaning hybrid from Humboldt Seed Company, made for the band Slightly Stoopid. It crosses the band's Humboldt Reserve OG Kush with Asphalt Plant, and people know it for a loud gas and sour citrus smell and a calm, lifted feel.
Where does Collie Man Kush come from?
Collie Man Kush was bred by Humboldt Seed Company in Northern California for Slightly Stoopid, a reggae-rock band. The cross most sources give is Humboldt Reserve OG Kush, a Kush cut tied to the band, with Asphalt Plant. Asphalt Plant itself is not well documented.
It's listed as a hybrid that leans strongly indica, with one listing putting it around 90% indica. Its release year is not well documented.
What does Collie Man Kush smell and taste like?
Most people describe a heavy, gassy smell, sometimes compared to turpentine, with a sour citrus edge. Earthy and spicy notes sit underneath, in keeping with its OG Kush side.
Published terpene data lists myrcene first, then pinene and limonene. Myrcene brings the earthy base, pinene a fresh, sharp note and limonene the lemony brightness. The flavour usually follows the smell: sour lemon and diesel on the inhale, earth on the finish.
Collie Man Kush effects: what people report
Reports are a little mixed. Many people call it calm and relaxing in the body, but a fair number also describe it as talkative, upbeat and even energetic, especially early on. Some say it can turn couch-heavy at larger amounts, while others say it stays clear rather than sleepy.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the batch, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints.
How strong is Collie Man Kush?
Published listings put Collie Man Kush at about 18% to 20% THC, with very little CBD. That's moderate to high for today's shelves, not extreme.
If it's new to you, start small and wait before having more. Your batch's numbers are on the label, and they matter more than the strain name. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what to look for.
Buying Collie Man Kush in Canada
Collie Man Kush is a less common name, so it may take some looking. When you do find it, check that the label names the strain itself and not a different Kush with a similar name.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds more of that gassy smell.
Collie Man Kush vs OG Kush
OG Kush sits behind Collie Man Kush through its Humboldt Reserve OG Kush parent, so the two share that earthy, fuel-heavy base. OG Kush is the better-known strain and is often listed a few points higher in THC, with a smell that leans pine and lemon. Collie Man Kush pushes the gas and sour citrus harder, and people describe it as a bit more talkative up front. If you want the classic, start with OG Kush. If you like louder fuel, try Collie Man Kush.
