Red Tsunami is an indica-dominant hybrid with roughly four-fifths indica and one-fifth sativa, a cross between the flavorful Special Kush and High Tide. Its name honors its regal lineage and striking appearance. The buds are oversized, fluffy, pepper-shaped nugs of bright emerald green, threaded with thick red hairs and cloaked in a sparkling frost of red-amber trichomes.
Opening a nugget releases a bouquet of sweet fruity cherries, intertwined with spicy skunk and kush herbs. The palate follows suit, delivering a syrupy cherry sweetness accented by flowery notes and a touch of spice that lingers on the tongue.
The Red Tsunami buzz begins with a crashing wave of calm that clears away lingering negativity and leaves a buoyant sense of happiness, giggly and light. Physically, it settles the body into deep relaxation with a gentle sedative pull that encourages winding down and, for many, a smooth path to sleep. With THC typically in the 22 to 26% range, this strain is frequently sought for relief from stress or anxiety, chronic pain, depression, insomnia, and cramps or muscle spasms.
