About Bubba Kush
Bubba Kush is a heavy indica that emerged in California in the late 1990s. Its dense, bulky buds deliver tranquilizing effects ideal for nighttime relaxation. The high myrcene content creates classic "couch-lock" sedation, while caryophyllene may provide anti-inflammatory benefits. It's a staple indica for insomnia and pain management.
