LOL
I was just reading the wiki page on Kush and this is what I found....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kush_%28cannabis%29

Congressman Mark Kirk, a Republican member of the House of Representatives from Illinois, introduced legislation to increase the penalties for selling kush.[5] The High-Potency Marijuana Sentencing Enhancement Act of 2009 (H.R. 2848)[6] increases the penalties for the possession with intent to distribute, manufacture, importation and exportation to maximum fines of $1 million for an individual and $5 million for a group, with a maximum sentence of 25 years from the standard sentencing for marijuana which calls for a maximum fine of $250,000 for an individual, $1 million for a group and up to five years in prison.[7] Kirk said that as kush may sell for up to $600 (USD) per ounce these increases are justified, saying that "if you can make as much money selling pot as cocaine, you should face the same penalties."

It's funny... but then you realize how scary it is, that ignorance like this is what our laws are currently based on.

If they said my pot was Kush, I'd tell them PROVE IT

LMFAO that won't clear the first trial, a lot of people HERE couldn't identify "kush", how the hell is a judge or jury?

The only penalties regarding Kush should be against the people who claim its from cali & the people who think its the best weed in the world. In the UK Skunk is the generic word for hybrid canna regardles of the strain, sounds like Kush is the US version of Skunk.
