Blackberry Kush

Blackberry Kush is DJ Short's Afghani × Blackberry cross, and it's stayed a reliable evening indica on California shelves for over fifteen years. A common pick for adults 21+ who want classic indica weight without modern hybrid THC ceilings, and a frequent appearance on small-batch indoor menus that lean toward the older catalog.

Flavor is dark berry with a sweet undertone and a faint diesel finish. Myrcene leads, linalool fills in, and the caryophyllene support gives it a peppery edge. Pairs with the last hour of the night, slow dinners, or a quiet record. Reliable on California shelves with periodic NY appearances through 2026.
