The experience of going to the weed store just gets better with each visit over the last few months. If you read last month’s articles, then you know I hit a little snafu with the store being completely sold out of everything last month. I had to come back that following Monday and they only had two variations of Runtz. Despite the limited options, the weed was impressive, and I enjoyed my selection. However, I ran out of the weed a little faster than usual.
So I went back to the store to restock, and I learned a lot. The store I go to uses a tier system and I always thought I was buying the lowest tier, which pricing is something like $50 for an eighth, $80 for a half, and $100 for an ounce. Turned out that was actually Tier 2. I never got to ask what the pricing for Tier 1 looked like since the shop owner continued to throw prices at me. Apparently, all the tiers were on sale, and Tier 2 was actually $85 for an ounce.
My head pulsated and I’m sure I looked like that meme with all the calculations and angles. It took my mind a moment to catch up because at first I thought he meant $85 for an ounce. Then he showed me his IG stories and once I realized he was trying to explain a sale to me, I immediately told him to sign me up.
This month was similar to the other months, with only two options. Good enough for me though, as I told him to give me half and half. I made idle chit-chat with the other buyers while I waited for my flower to be weighed, packaged, and bagged. Once the black grocery bag was in my hands, hightail outta there and into my car.
There must have been some amazing vibes my way. Not only was the weed on sale, but the traffic in the City was also smooth, parking was easy to find, and my DoorDash arrived perfectly with my arrival. After I ate, I went to my room to assess my latest purchase.
Cali Kush Overview
| THC: 18% | Effects: Calming, relaxing, tingling |
| Strain: Hybrid | Good for: Anxiety, stress, chronic pain |
Upon looking at the names, both strains seemed interesting. I couldn’t decide which to try first, so I went in alphabetical order, starting with Cali Kush. I wasn’t disappointed. A soft sweet scent filled my nostrils when I opened the bag, a scent that the other strain I got, (Push) Pops, lacked. I reached in and pulled out a large thick dense nugget. Each nugget looked full and luscious.
Some were bigger than others, but they were all about the same size. The large nugs were lighter green, especially compared to the other strain, Pops. They were a luscious olive green compromised with a sprinkle of orange and light brown hairs. Light-colored crystal trichomes covered the nuggets and there was a soft, golden undertone.
Cali Is a Purps & LA Confidential Hybrid
This strain is a hybrid, but a little more indica-heavy. Indica equals “in-da-couch,” and I would agree. This strain slowed me down some, but it was perfect for our evening after-dinner smoke sesh. This strain was relaxing and made me feel tingly. A nice head high accompanied it as well. It was a great “veg out” type of weed in general. This strain can help with chronic stress, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, mood swings, and appetite loss or nausea.
The weed was on the fluffy side, though. I was not a fan of how it broke up. There were also a few stems, but not as bad as the Runtz batch from the July 2024 Haul. It was a smooth hit regardless, though, and the fluffiness didn’t seem to affect the burn too much. There wasn’t a lot of resin or build-up at the tip, either. Overall, the quality was pretty good.
Cali Kush has a high THC level, totaling about 20%. It’s a hybrid, created by combining:
- Purps (a slightly Indica-heavy hybrid)
- LA Confidential (also a slightly indica-heavy hybrid)
The flavor, though, is where the strain outshined. Much like the Rainbow Runtz, this strain was powerful in its aroma and flavor. This strain had a powerful citrus and fruity flavor that the exhalation smoke also had. Between the two, this strain tasted the best by far. It wasn’t too subtle but not too powerful and tasted as good as it smelled.
Cali Kush Flower Strain Personal Rating
Overall, I would give this strain 7 out of 10 nugs. The taste is enjoyable, much like Rainbow Runtz. The high lasted for a while and the batch stretched to my normal time frame. It was enjoyable and I would purchase again.

Obviously, I cannot recommend real weed. The laws around MJ are still iffy, but I can recommend hemp products like THCA and Delta 9. Over the years, I’ve tried many derivatives. I’ll share more of experiences as I share more of my journeys, but for now, some of my favorites are THCA, THCO, and THCP. In fact, most of my vapes are THCA or THCO.
Finding powerful derivatives and reputable companies to purchase from hasn’t been easy, but lucky for you, I’ve done the hard part of researching so you don’t have to. Currently, I’ve partnered with The Hemp Doctor to bring you some of the most potent hemp products at a 10% discount, so you can enjoy some of the benefits I’ve reviewed in this article today by using my link.
While The Hemp Doctor didn’t have the Cali Kush strain specifically, they did have the regular OG Kush strain. The website also has a variety of other hemp products including gummies, vapes, drinks, edibles, and more. Be sure to consume safely and positive vibes all around!
