What is the Apex Strain?
Apex or Apex Kush is a light hybrid with a heavy dominant hybrid genetic profile of 9:1 indica:sativa that delivers elevated highs with full-body effects. This is a calming strain with a tendency to couch-lock and make you hungry which develops shortly after the head buzzing subsides. The Apex Strain is an excellent choice for anyone who needs to unwind, has appetite issues, requires profound relaxation, or suffers from chronic discomfort.
Strain type: Is Apex indica or sativa?

Effects: how will the Apex make me feel?
The Apex Strain produces a full-body high with a tingly head and buzzy vibe that mellows you out as soon as the pleasure kicks in. Following the head rush, hunger kicks in quite rapidly. Don’t be astonished if you find yourself suddenly talkative, multilingual, and completely amused by the world around you. Laughter is a side effect, and even the most stoic can become giddy. The more you take, the calmer you become, until you find yourself in a sit-your-buttocks-down-and-stare-at-the-TV situation.
