Bubba Kush emerged in Los Angeles in the late 1990s and has remained a core West Coast indica ever since. Its lineage is partially disputed, but the leading story involves a Northern Lights phenotype crossed with an unknown Kush cutting. The result is a compact, resin-heavy plant with an unusual coffee-chocolate aroma.

Effects are strongly sedative, with a body heaviness that makes it a good match for chronic pain, insomnia, and end-of-day relaxation. Not a pick for daytime productivity.
