FLAVORS
As the name suggests, the aroma and taste of Pineapple Kush is sweet and tropical with a characteristic Kush smell. The tropical aroma carries hints of a delicious caramel flavour which makes this strain particularly appealing to anyone with a sweet tooth! While the buds do resemble the shape of a pineapple, it is its parent strain Pineapple that has real similarities with the tropical fruit.

STRAIN TEST
One study by Analytical 360 found one strain of Pineapple Kush to come in at 17.76% THCa. The test also found the strain to contain 0.10% CBDa with a terpene content of 0.38% (0.11 % Caryophyllene and 0.27 % Humulene coming through in the taste and aroma).
EFFECTS
The mid-range THC levels of around 15 percent makes Pineapple Kush an excellent hybrid for newbies. Don’t be fooled, however, the taste and aroma produced are mellow enough for new users to enjoy the ride, but has an unexpected potency that can be noted by even the most experienced of users. A warm and fuzzy feeling accompanies the consumption of Pineapple Kush, making it the ideal chill out strain. Consume too much, however, and you can go from relaxed and uplifted to tired and couch-locked.
This would certainly be the strain of choice for people who experience a loss of appetite due to a medical condition. Indeed, if you are lucky enough to come across this sweet hybrid, and are a sufferer of an eating disorder or lack of appetite, then this mild tasting, but highly effective hybrid could help you increase your appetite.
This strain is famous for the case of munchies it can give an individual! And though that might be a welcome side-effect for some users, for others it might be an undesirable one. Most people who do experience side-effects will note dry eyes and mouth and occasionally, but much more rare, are headaches and dizziness.
