Genetics and Lineage of Codeine Kush Marijuana
While Codeine Kush’s exact lineage isn’t widely published, it’s believed to descend from classic indicas like OG Kush and possibly Purple Kush—both known for their strong body effects and rich, earthy flavors. This strain inherits the best of both worlds: potent sedation and a sweet, grapey flavor that lingers.
Aroma & Flavour
You’ll notice grape cough syrup, earthy pine, and a touch of spicy diesel in the aroma. On the inhale, Codeine Kush cannabis delivers a smooth, fruity sweetness—like purple candy with a herbal twist.

Conclusion on codeine purp weed strain
This strain is more common in clone form, but if you get your hands on seeds or cuts, expect a moderate grow difficulty. It favors a warm, dry climate and flowers in about 8–9 weeks, producing dense, resin-heavy buds with a purple hue under cooler temps.

This is my favourite bedtime strain. Two doses through the vaporizer and I sleep for 8 hours. I can feel my eyes closing when I use this one and that really helps too. Proper OS Indica effects. Narcotic and very good for killing pain.

Sleepy? Hungry? Feel like slowing way down? This is the one for you. I’d keep this strain in my medicine cabinet at all times just of how smooth the high is.

I have MAJOR anxiety. I used to be a heavy cannabis user and haven’t used in about 8 years. I was anxious about starting again but it’s hard for me to fall asleep because my anxiety is too much. I used codeine kush as my first time back and I’m glad I did. It mellowed me out so well and calmed my nerves. Now I only started with a little bit… a small bud. It tastes good and smells good. Now beware the munchies come into full effect. Also MAJOR cotton mouth. I was definitely anxious when I first noticed the effects but I knew I was getting in my own head so I made myself stop overthinking and watched how high. Definitely made me enjoy the effects more. 👍🏻

Codeine kush is one of my faves when it comes to a night time sleepy strain. With higher amounts of CBN its no wonder why I use it for pain and insomnia relief. I have manic depression a mind that can keep going and going. Helps with depression and gives you a chilled mind. Absolutely perfect for relaxing and kicking it back as you fall into a deep slumber like sawing a log. Absolutely great taste! I taste of pungent sweet tree fruit then hard wood and earthy textures love the earthy textures for sure.

Hits you fast but is definitely long lasting. Smoked a bowl before bed and was out like a light within 30min and stayed asleep! If you’re an indica lover, this strain is amazing.

Got me high after one hit; I smoke every day, often so for something to get me this high and all giggly, I’m in love. My eye lids feel kinda heavy and I feel like talking about everything (high rn lol) but yes 10/10 love recommend!!
Mick –
Who do I thank for codeine kush? Wow. seriously, I’m not worthy. I got a fever… and the only cure is more indica.
Shroff –
This is my favourite indica strain so far. Very relaxed, made me observant of surroundings, and provided an altered sensation. After some time high, I felt very tired and had a good sleep.

Like a previous review I smoked a bowl, felt that initial wave of relaxation and as I was going to pack the second bowl I stopped and starting to feel the sativa effect wondered “hum should I?” Well I did anyway and that was it for me!!! I’ve been smoking kings Kush for a week and that was play compared to this monster! Enjoy responsibly ✌️🙏❤️
Nuno –
#1 on my list for choices. I heard about it and tried it and the rest is history.
Sousa –
I feel very good right now. It’s 3:19 am and I’ve been up since I got off work. I’ve also had a slight stomach ache, after smoking this I feel my nausea has slightly decreased and I’m finally feeling like I could lay down for a second. I recommend this for intense relaxation but not tiredness, minor stomach pains and pure anxiety relief

Not gon lie I thought I was in the Bronx… turns out I was on my couch the whole time 😂😂 Budzotic different

I grew codeine Kush after reading about a study in Colorado that had findings that Codeine Kush helped treat migraines. When I have an aura with my migraine it will take away the aura immediately. It’s amazing that it works that fast.
Grayson –
The terp profile on the Codeine Kush I got was crazy. Budzotic really came through. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out.
Raymond Banks –
She is that girl if you have migraines. I am almost 100% pain free while stoned on this codeine kush
Hargrove –
On God I’m just laughing at the reviews cuz they relate. I’m way to high on a CK cart. smooth and earthy/spicy hit. kinda a slow high at first but its worth it. W strain fr this at my top 3
Rusman –
I got this just recently from a family member who grows their own stuff. When I smoked it from my water pipe I noticed it was an incredibly smooth hit. The flavor is mellow but very nice with a grapey aftertaste and aroma. It didn’t hit right away but rather slowly eased me into a nice feeling of comfort and happiness. It’s definitely good for putting yourself in an uplifted and positive mood. Definitely one of my favorites.
Goodman –
I picked some of this stuff and the buds were enormous, this weed is smooth and great tasting, it’s an Indica that I believe has Sativa bloodlines. It made me just chillax and enjoy my day with plenty of energy so I didn’t get couchlocked. But just like any good weed, I like to switch things up, because I get used to the buzz, and it’s always good to throw your mind a curveball. Just saying.

The blanket of relaxation is REAL. I have intense fibromyalgia along with other chronic illnesses/pains and this has been one of the best strains to help manage a flare up and calm my anxious mind. 10/10 would recommend
Norton –
I’ve tried a few strains, and this is by far my favorite 🙂 I don’t know if I got a good batch or what but it’s a wonderful high that clears my mind entirely, which is a godsend for an autistic retail employee like myself

I suffer from major anxiety and lately one of the things that has been helping get through this is trying new strains from this dispensary and as I smoke I come in here and learn about the strain and read the reviews mostly for a distraction for my brain. I took one big puff off of a cart from the dispensary and within the first 15 minutes I was stoned out of my mind and could not finish reading the reviews, I instantly had to write one myself. Codeine Kush has a nice sweet and citrusy taste to it and makes my anxiety melt away. I was going on 11 weeks of back to back panic attacks and after smoking this strain I am going on 3 days with no panic attacks and minimal anxiety. It also makes me feel euphoric or I’m just an uplifted mood, it makes me feel like a person again who isn’t being controlled by anxiety. I feel so carefree and am able to relax and let my brain go mush for a little bit. Highly recommend for fellow people who struggle with anxiety. I love indicas all around, day and night, but this is an indica that is definitely most helpful at night.

It comes on slow and hits me almost similar to train wreck do not take on an empty stomach I feel like I am melting lol. This is a little bit over the top for me, but if you have chronic pain this is the strain for you :3 Highly recommend this pure Indica.
