Kush or Haze? These two major cannabis families each have their own specific characteristics, even in CBD products. To make the right choice, you need to understand their origins, effects and flavors. Here's a clear and comprehensive comparative article to help you make the right choice.
Things to remember
- Kush and Haze varieties have very distinct origins, aromas and effects.
- Kush CBD is rather relaxing, while Haze CBD offers a clearer, energizing effect.
- The choice between the two depends above all on your objective: relaxation or mental stimulation.
What are the origins of these two cannabis legends?
Before talking about taste and effects, we need to go back to their roots. Because yes, the origins of a variety already give you a lot of clues about what it's made of. To offer them in CBD flowers flower versions, geneticists have crossed these lines with varieties with high cannabidiol concentrations, while preserving their distinct aromatic and morphological profiles.
Kush, born in the mountains of Asia
The Kush family hails from the rugged Hindu Kush, a mountain range between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Suffice it to say, it's solid stuff. These plants have been selected to withstand the harsh conditions of cold, altitude and dry winds.
In CBD version, Kush retains this robustness with a compact structure, dense buds and often dark colors. It's an Indica-dominant strain, which means it helps you slow down and relax. It's a real flower for relaxing body and mind.
Haze: the California traveler
La Haze is a different story. It originated in California in the 1970s. It was created from exotic crosses of several varieties. Thai, Colombian Gold and Mexican. In short, it's one hell of a cocktail! The result? A Sativa plant at heart, tall, vigorous, tall-growing and slow to flower.
Even in its CBD version, Haze retains its lively energy. It has bright aromas and lights up your mind instead of putting you to sleep. It's the variety for artists, active people, those who want mental clarity without the psychotropic effects.
In terms of taste and smell, they have nothing to do with each other.
As you may have already guessed, in terms of taste and smell, these two cheap CBD flowers have nothing in common.
Kush CBD: deep, woody, spicy
When you open a bag of Kush CBD, it's obvious. The aroma is heavy, earthy, sometimes even musky. There's often pepper, pine, a touch of dried herbs, sometimes even that diesel aroma for the more full-bodied ones.
It's not a light or fruity scent, it's really enveloping. If you like deep, almost meditative fragrances, Kush is for you.

Haze CBD: fresh, lemony, floral
Haze takes you on a different journey. Lemon, incense, flowers, sometimes a little sweet, even minty or fruity. It smells clean, energetic and lively.
Terpenes include limonene, pinene and terpinolene. These are compounds that don't knock you out, but help open your eyes and your mind.

What are their effects?
The physical and mental effects are there. And they are very different from one variety to another. Mama reminds you that neither variety will get you high. In CBD version, these varieties contain less than 0.3% THC, so no psychotropic effect.
Kush CBD, for disconnecting
Kush is your evening companion. The one you go to when you need to relax. It relaxes your muscles, calms stress and helps you fall asleep. It works more on the body, and a little on the mind, but gently.
So it's perfect after a day's work, when you want to relax. One trip with a Kush CBD, and it's like a warm blanket around your shoulders.
Haze CBD, to stay active
Haze keeps you awake. It helps you to see things more clearly and stay focused, to move forward without being under pressure. It's the perfect variety to consume earlier in the day or during creative activities, when you need mental energy but without the palpitations of caffeine.
It's perfect during the day, to help you work (if you can afford it) or to support you in your creative process. Haze CBD goes with you without slowing you down.
How to choose the right flower?
Mama reminds you, there's no right or wrong choice, just the one that suits you best depending on the time of day and what you're looking for. Here's what you can remember:
- Kush CBD: Indica-dominant, relaxing effect, ideal for relaxing.
- Haze CBD: Sativa-dominant, clear and stimulating effect, perfect for daytime use.
- Both without THC, but with a surrounding effect thanks to terpenes: that's what makes you feel the subtle effect of CBD.
Remember: Kush calms, Haze enlightens , and both are waiting for you at the Mama Kana boutique . It's up to you whether you want to relax or be stimulated!
