When I went to the store this month, there were seven strains available in my price range to try. Eight if you include the one strain for Tier 1. Having so many options can really make choosing difficult. Especially if you’re like me and can get analysis paralysis when overwhelmed with too many options. However, a quality I really like about this store is their customer service.
All the flower is out in the open, with easy access to customers, and in see-through containers. Sure, this may not be the smartest practice, as it makes it easier for people to steal the jars and run. But from a consumer perspective, it makes the selection process more enticing. They also let you open the containers and take a whiff. If the store’s not too busy, they’ll even take it out, let you look at the nugs and maybe even give a small sample for you to smoke in their makeshift lounge.
While I rarely have the time to take them up on these offers, it’s still comforting to know it’s an option.
The last few times I went to the store only had two strains, so I simply asked for half an ounce of each and I was on my merry way. This time, choosing took a little more time. The Firestarter caught my eye immediately, so that was an easy choice. I already tried the (Push) Pops last month so I could cross that off the list. But that still left me with five options.
Platinum Kush Strain Overview
| THC: 16% | Effects: Body High, euphoria, relaxing, happy |
| Strain: Indica | Good for: anxiety, depression, and pain |
Since last month I tried Cali Kush, I decided to try the Platinum Kush. Maybe it’s a part of my OCD or maybe I just prefer familiarity, but I can’t help but try similar strains back to back when possible. It also makes my decisions a little easier. Last month I purchased the Purple Edition: Flying Horse vape because it had the Sour Diesel Runtz and I just tried the Rainbow and White Runtz flower the month before. So I figured I might as well keep the pattern flowing.
Looking at the strains side by side, I was pretty amazed by the visuals. Considering platinum Kush’s name, I would’ve expected it to have lighter coloring. Boy, was I wrong because the Firestarter was pale and covered in soft white trichomes. The Platinum was also light in color, but it had more yellow and light orange hairs and crystals.

Similar to the other strain I got, Platinum Kush had a soft, fruity scent to it. The aroma wasn’t as strong as Firestarter and that strain had more of a citrus scent to it. Both had a similar earthy scent to it as well. Despite the pleasant scent, neither of the strains had a flavor that matched. The nugs broke up about as well as the other strain, but it didn’t leave as much keef.
According to Allbud, this indica strain has about 16% THC and is a crossbreed of:
- OG Kush (50/50 cross with Chemdawg and Hindu Kush)
- Afghani (pure indica)
I found this strain to give a nice even high and was great to smoke right before a movie. The batch also lasted longer than the last few runs, so I definitely got my bang for my buck. Some of the benefits including happiness, euphoria, a body high and relaxation. This strain is also good for treating depression, anxiety, and pain.
Platinum Kush Personal Rating
Platinum Kush earned a 6.5 out of 10 nuggets. It was a good strain, but not exactly what I expected. The nuggets were beautiful, which is why they earned a 7.5. The burn and high strength were also good, earning it a 7. The quality and flavor was a little lower on the spectrum, earning a 6 out of 10. Meanwhile, the aroma scored a little higher, coming in at 6.5.
Final conclusion: This strain was “okay,” and honestly a little disappointing for a Kush. However, I’ll probably purchase again if many options aren’t available, but it wouldn’t be a go-to.

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 benefits I’ve reviewed in this article today by using my link.
Unfortunately, The Hemp Doctor didn’t have the Platinum Kush strain specifically. However, if you’d like to dabble with the Kush flowers, the site 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!
