Gas Station Shatter - Platinum Pink

A 90% indica, 10% sativa split is what both Leafly and AllBud give Platinum Pink, the Pink Kush descendant named on this Gas Station shatter.

Platinum Pink Kush, or PPK

AllBud records Platinum Pink Kush and PPK as other names and calls the strain heavily indica dominant, a cross of Pink Kush with another indica dominant hybrid. Leafly also names Pink Kush as a parent and lists the strain as a hybrid.

Grape-shaped nugs with pink showing through

AllBud describes nuggets that are dense, oversized and grape-shaped, in a forest green with deep undertones, threaded with fine pinkish-orange hairs beneath a heavy frost of tiny white trichomes tinged pink. Leafly reviewers add their own notes: one found the buds beautiful, and another says the strain looks, smells and smokes well, with hints of pink visible inside some nugs.

Berry and sour candy, with a gassy edge

Crack a nug open, AllBud says, and floral, sour-lemon and earthy herbal scents come out, getting sweeter as it is broken down further. On the tongue, AllBud finds sweet berry fruit and lemony notes like sour candy, with a little earth underneath. An AllBud reviewer writes of gas on the nose, backed by citrus and earth, and a taste of orange, lime, gas and dank. Cheese, berry and pungent lead Leafly’s flavour list.

Slow waves of euphoria and the THC figures

AllBud describes a slow build that comes in waves and lands in lifted, warming euphoria, with the whole body relaxed from head to toe; body high, calming, euphoria, happy, relaxing and uplifting are its effect tags, and 27 votes average 4.6. Leafly’s 4 raters give it 4.8 and most often report feeling energetic, creative and euphoric, with hungry, relaxed and happy also tagged. For THC, Leafly shows around 20%, which it says is above the average strain on the site, and AllBud gives 26% to 28%.

The shatter itself, and how to pace it

Platinum Pink in shatter form is a hard, translucent extract that breaks like glass once chilled, and it is generally dabbed, with crumbling it onto flower as another option. Our shatter explainer goes into its production, strength and use. Health Canada‘s lower-risk advice lists shatter with hash, kief and wax as THC-heavy extracts and tells first-timers and occasional users to skip them. Behind the wheel, the rule in its lower-risk guidelines is to wait 6 hours or longer after any cannabis.
