Kush Cream strain guide
Kush Cream is a hybrid of Lemon Tree and Kush Mints. People know it for a bright lemon and cool mint smell over an earthy Kush base, and a calm, happy feel. It usually tests high in THC.
Where does Kush Cream come from?
Kush Cream is listed as a cross of Lemon Tree, a citrus-heavy strain with Lemon Skunk and Sour Diesel behind it, and Kush Mints, a minty, gassy strain from Bubba Kush and Animal Mints. Two strain databases agree on that pairing.
The original breeder is not confirmed. One strain database notes it is often associated with Cresco Labs, a US producer, but we haven't found the breeder named directly. Don't confuse it with Kush Cream Dream or Kushies and Cream, which are separate strains with different parents.
What does Kush Cream smell and taste like?
Lemon usually comes first, bright and a little sour, followed by cool mint from the Kush Mints side. Under that sits an earthy, nutty Kush funk with a hint of spice and flowers.
One strain database names limonene and linalool as its notable terpenes. Limonene fits the citrus, and linalool adds a soft floral note. The flavour tends to land lemony and minty with a smooth, herbal finish.
Kush Cream effects: what people report
People describe Kush Cream as happy and uplifted at first, settling into a calm, relaxed body feel. Some reviewers say it stays clearer in the head than many Kush-leaning hybrids, while others find it sleepy later on.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Reviews are still few, so there isn't much on common downsides yet, though dry mouth is typical of most strains.
How strong is Kush Cream?
Kush Cream is a high-THC strain. Listings put it around 26% to 27% THC, and one product listing shows about 23%. CBD is usually under 1%.
That is strong for a beginner. Start small and give it time before having more. The numbers on your label are what count, and our guide to reading cannabis labels explains them.
Buying Kush Cream in Canada
Check the label to make sure you have Kush Cream itself and not a similarly named strain. Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of the lemon and mint.
It has been listed as pre-rolls, and may also appear as dried flower.
Kush Cream vs Kush Mints
Kush Mints is one of Kush Cream's parents. Kush Mints smells of mint, cookie and gas, while Kush Cream keeps the mint but adds a big lemon note from Lemon Tree. Both test high and lean relaxed, though Kush Cream more often gets described as clear-headed. If you want mint and fuel, go with Kush Mints. If citrus sounds good, try Kush Cream.
