Master Kush is a strain originally named High Rise, which comes from south Amsterdam. This mostly Indica strain gained popularity in coffee shops there as a unique tetraploid strain. Most cannabis strains are diploid. They have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent in each cell. Tetraploid strains carry four times the number of haploid chromosomes, making eight sets.

The strain has won several awards over the years. It won The Cannabis Cup, known as the Superbowl of pot, twice - once in 1992 and again in 1993. It is also the strain of choice for none other than Snoop Lion (Snoop Dog).

Since the arrival of Master Kush, other strains have also taken up this name. Some are crosses of true Master Kush, but others are mere imitations.
