Blackberry Kush is an indica-dominant strain known for its sleepy and relaxing effects, making it a popular choice for nighttime use, pain relief, and managing anxiety or stress. Users typically experience a full-body relaxation that can lead to a peaceful, couch-locked state, though some report a blissful and euphoric feeling as well. The strain’s sedative properties are attributed to the presence of the terpene myrcene and a higher-than-average level of CBN (around 2%).
