Platinum Kush
10/2/2018
I just got this strain last night. First time ever having this strain of Kush. I've had a couple, and now I know why it's brethren are so highly rated. This was a last minute buy. What I mean is, when we were scouting for some, a lot of places were out and finally someone found this for us. We were getting some for my back, I recently pinched a couple of nerves in my upper back. The pain has been slightly inconvenient, as my work involves a lot of movement. The muscle relaxers I was prescribed left an undesirable effect on my body that I did not like. I wanted to find a strain that could help relax my muscles without slowly killing me. THIS has been absolutely perfect for it. I've only smoked it twice since I got it last night. Once right when we got home with it, and once about 20 minutes ago. Both times, my back pain was flaring up something fierce. As soon as that high comes in, the pain disappears. Like I can't feel any pain at all, even if I cough (which aggravates the pinched nerves and gives my whole body an electric shock of pain). When I'm on it and cough, I don't feel that pain at all. I can just lay back, relax, and do my stretches. I find it's a perfect strain for anyone who needs to release some tension. My weed buddy and I were able to chill and have a nice conversation about our day. We also had fun watching some cool videos on YouTube about mythology, and it prompted a very interesting discussion.
That's what I love in any strain, that cerebral and creative high that allows you to explore some interesting subjects. This is great for that. Overall, 4.3 I'd say. The only things I don't like are the dry mouth and eyes. And while I like the super awesome head high it gives, it does make your mind wander a bit too much and sometimes into some unpleasant territory. Easy to get out of but still a bit of a buzz kill when it happens. But yah, overall loving this.
