What Does Hindu Kush Mean?
Hindu Kush has the distinction of being one of the original indica landrace strains of marijuana. It is exceptionally potent. The strain grows wild along the Pakistan and Afghanistan border in the Hindu Kush mountains.
Seeds from the Hindu Kush marijuana plants were first brought to the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. Pilgrims and explorers traveling along the famous Hippie Trail often collected the seeds of the plant during their travels and brought them back home.
In the last few decades, Hindu Kush has been crossed with numerous other strains to create stronger and more stable strains. Many strains available today boast Hindu Kush in their genetic profiles.
