What is Kush Mints?
Kush Mints is a hybrid made by crossing Animal Mints with Bubba Kush. GreenState explains that Animal Mints comes from Animal Cookies and SinMint Cookies, both descendants of Girl Scout Cookies, while Bubba Kush is a child of OG Kush with an unconfirmed indica parent.
Breeder credit is not unanimous. GreenState says Seed Junky Genetics is typically credited, and the Canadian trade outlet StratCann lists Kush Mints among the strains that Seed Junky founder JBeezy helped create. Leafly's strain page names Mr. Nice Seeds instead.
Leafly and GreenState call it a 50/50 hybrid, though GreenState adds that environment and source material affect how any individual plant turns out. Type labels are a rough guide at best: a 2022 study of US lab data found that indica, hybrid and sativa labels do not reliably reflect a product's chemistry, a point the indica vs sativa vs hybrid guide covers in more detail.
Look, smell and taste
Leafly describes a minty, cookie-like aroma and flavour with hints of gas and pine, and its reviewers most often pick menthol, mint and ammonia as the top flavours. GreenState calls the nose toothpaste-like, with pine, citrus and a little spice, and singles out the strain's exquisite bud structure.
Leafly's lab data lists limonene as the main terpene, followed by caryophyllene and linalool, matching GreenState. The cannabis terpenes guide covers what these compounds are.
Effects people report
Leafly describes a balanced high that is both relaxing and euphoric, with a body buzz and a creative mind. Its reviewers most often tag Kush Mints as relaxed, euphoric and aroused, and the most common negatives are feeling anxious, dry mouth and dry eyes. GreenState sums it up as uplifting yet chill, with effects that come on strong.
These are crowd-sourced impressions, not test results. Health Canada points out that everyone's response to cannabis is different and can differ from one time to the next, and GreenState notes that you can't say for sure how Kush Mints will make you feel until you try it. When smoked or vaped, effects can take 10 to 30 minutes to reach their full strength and can last up to 6 hours (Health Canada). For medical questions, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
How strong is Kush Mints?
Kush Mints usually lists high. Leafly shows 28% THC, and GreenState says its buds tend to be incredibly high in THC. Potency varies by batch, so check the label on the product you buy. Health Canada notes that higher amounts of THC can cause greater impairment and raise the risk of serious adverse effects, and it advises starting low and going slow.
Strains similar to Kush Mints
Its family tree is the best place to start. Bubba Kush is a parent and supplies the classic Kush side of the cross. Leafly lists Blue Zushi and Cap Junky among Kush Mints' offspring, so both carry some of the same genetics.
