PINCHER CREEK, also known as CUSH
Pincher Creek is a very interesting medical cannabis variety first bred in Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada, in the late 1980s. Though bred from commonly available varieties—Skunk and Afghani—the result was quite unique, a very fast flowering strain with a unique chemistry and range of effects. When it was brought to Southern California in the late 1990s, it became extremely popular within the creative community for its purported ability to encourage associative thought, composition, and improvization.
Pincher Creek is one of the most popular medical cannabis varieties for its ability to distract from pain while relaxing the patient without sedation. Patients have successfully used the variety’s ability to stimulate “out of the box” thinking as a springboard for exploring new approaches to wellness and living with chronic illness.
