If you enjoy cannabis like it's a glass of fine wine, Black Magic Kush is a strain worth giving a try. This magical bud looks almost as good as it tastes!

Overview of Black Magic Kush
Just as the name suggests, Black Magic Kush is an enchanting strain that will lull you to sleep at the end of the day. Like most other indica strains, it will make you incredibly sleepy, so it's not the best option for a daytime smoke.
Black Magic Kush has a high terpene profile, with significant amounts of myrcene, limonene, beta caryophllene, and linalool (just to name a few). By far the highest presence terpene is myrcene, which is known for producing the "couch lock" that is common in most indica strains. It is also what reduces inflammation and provides analgesic properties to the plant. The linalool reduces adverse effects similar to the way lavender plants do. Ultimately, you could say Black Magic Kush gets its magic from the terpenes!
Black Magic Kush has a mysterious lineage, with only one parent strain confirmed. It comes from Grape Ape, which is an equally amazing strain. Grape Ape looks and smells a whole lot like grape, and is also an indica that is recommended for nighttime use.
One toke of Grape Ape will send you into a mystical state of relaxation, and some say it even makes you feel as heavy as a big ol' ape. Medical cannabis patients use Grape Ape to treat serious, chronic pain and insomnia. It also induces appetite, which can be important in the healing process.
Positive Effects of Black Magic Kush
Black Magic Kush is a high-quality smoking experience; it tastes phenomenal, with deep berry notes and a distinct sweet, fruity flavor. It also looks very pretty, so if you are into marijuana photography it makes a nice subject.
The strain will melt away your worries and send you off to a peaceful slumber.
Negative Effects of Black Magic Kush
On the major plus side to consuming Black Magic Kush is that it contains very few side effects. Most people report feeling dry mouth and dry eyes, which is typical to cannabis. If you compare opiods vs. marijuana for pain relief, those symptoms are incredibly mild!
Another negative effect is possibly the fact that it definitely encourages rest. Black Magic Kush will make you very sleepy, and used in the wrong conditions that might not be what you are looking for. It is not recommended for daytime pain relief unless you plan on staying in bed all day anyway!
Lineage of Black Magic Kush

Where to Find Black Magic Kush
