Wiz Khalifa’s Khalifa Kush weed strain review 2022
California’s crowds of fashion-forward OG Kush lovers only need a small amount of multi-platinum rapper Wiz Khalifa’s designer indica hybrid Khalifa Kush to nod their heads in agreement and hum, “So what we get druuunk, so.” what we smoke weed.’
Launched exclusively in Cookies retail stores in the legal market on January 28th – KK is indoor excellence in small batches at top prices. The $50 Eighth Flowers and Pre-Rolls will naturally attract haters, but Wiz remains untouchable. His signature heavy-hitter OG speaks for itself, but here’s a fair warning for the hardheads: this one-hitter quitter packs enough punch to knock down any heavyweight for the count.
Khalifa Kush Flower Review
We cracked an eighth glass of KK from Berners on Haight Thursday and got a smooth lemon, pine, OG fuel nose that brought us back to the 2016 California medical market.
KK is the exact same pure cut of the OG Kush hybrid wiz that was released to the California market in the olden days. Today it is grown in tissue culture by Node Labs, grown at large scale by FloraCal Farms, and distributed by Continuum. Our fresh glass had pack dates in January, from a December harvest. Huge – considering how old the stuff on the shelves has gotten.
Other quality features:
- large, green and yellow buds that are tightly trimmed but not notched.
- a plump, dense and icy look.
- A dry cure that maximizes test results without zapping all terps.
The 3.5-gram eighth featured a THC content of 27.69%—indicating kinetic, intense effects.
“It hit me hard,” said one reviewer.
The smell got fuller as it warmed up and in the grinder: sweet, gassy, spicy, earthy, horny.
Wiz Khalifa’s cannabis experience

Now it’s California in 2022, and “rapper weed” can come across as pejorative. But it’s hard to argue with Wiz’s credibility or wish him anything but success.
The Pittsburgh rapper started when he was 12 and fell in love with Cali weed while on tour. Berner helped teach him exoticism, made him a stress tester, locked in the KK, and together they started it like a clothing line five, age-old years ago. This TGOD mafia record clap. “See You Again” is 11 times platinum with 1.3 billion plays on Spotify.
When legalization arrived in 2018, the team didn’t rush or cut corners. You did well at the high end of a volatile market. You can almost hear Wiz’s signature laugh, ha-ha-ha, as the debit card machine in The City reads $75 with taxes out front.

The Khalifa Kush experience
We used a Mobius NUC bubbler with fresh water to best enjoy the lemony, piney flavor and THC punch. There are 2022 flavors like Sense’s Pink Certz (The Menthol x Grape Gasoline) that are more novel—but the power of KK is undeniable. Khalifa knows his customers: They stay higher than pigeon feet.
After a punch I jumped up, yawned, got tingly and chilly with sweaty palms and a nostalgic tinge of paranoia and dry mouth. This special terpene and THC blend is so potent that it completely permeates other highs. It’s a potential one-hitter quitter, so ride everyone within your limits this winter.
“I was conscious, but looking at me you’d think I wasn’t,” said one reviewer, who overshot the mark.
Reviewers use this effect for stress, depression, sleep, or pain. On the wellness and creative side, KK is great for blasting rap and getting creative, reviewers have said. Moods lift, inhibitions dissolve, new connections emerge and time passes differently.
This year Wiz and his crew are also taking KK to Nevada, Arizona and Utah. New varieties seem almost certain.
Certainly in California there is literally a lot of great weed at lower prices. Entirely new avenues have opened up.
But for those who want to play like their icons, the return of authentic Khalifa Kush hits the spot.
