Pineapple Kush (Hybrid)

Pineapple Kush draws from old-world genetics, a dark green Indica from California. The feeling is calming and brings a centered sensation.

At a minimum, if there is an existing business, why would we tell the owner, 'You have to evict your tenant?'” said township Supervisor Ken Verkest. “This is a great source of revenue for us.
