Where Pink Moon Comes From
Pink Moon is a Houseplant release. Houseplant is a cannabis company founded by actor Seth Rogen and his partner Evan Goldberg, and it began in Canada before launching products in California. Leafly credits Houseplant with the strain but does not list parents.
The Tangie and Kosher Kush cross appears on AllBud and in a 2021 Leafly review, but we found no statement from Houseplant that confirms it. Tangie is a well-known citrus-forward California strain, and Kosher Kush is a heavy, peppery indica, so the reported mix of orange and spice matches the description. Treat the lineage as probable, not confirmed.
Pink Moon Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly summarizes Pink Moon as mostly energizing, and reviewers mention energetic, creative and euphoric, along with happy, relaxed and uplifted. AllBud describes a relaxing body high that does not leave you stuck to the couch, with focus and creativity at the front.
That makes it a reasonable choice for the daytime or early evening. The Tangie side seems to dominate the head, while the Kosher Kush side softens the body. Start with a small amount and wait before taking more, especially with a strain that has little published lab data.
Pink Moon Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Leafly reviewers report a strong orange or citrus smell with a lighter floral note, one mentioning lavender. Listed flavors are citrus, diesel and orange. AllBud adds sour, spicy black pepper and earthy, herbal notes, and describes small, heart-shaped, minty green nugs with pink undertones.
No terpene numbers are published for the strain.
Side Effects and How to Use Pink Moon
Listed negatives are dry eyes, paranoia and headache. Paranoia reports usually come with strong, head-forward strains at higher doses. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints with THC-rich cannabis, so keep water nearby. Anyone prone to anxiety should go slowly, and a calm, familiar setting helps.
With Pink Moon, as with any strain, a smaller dose usually avoids anxiety or grogginess. Our cannabis safety guide covers what to do if you take too much.
Do People Use Pink Moon for Medical Reasons?
On Leafly, readers who report a use mention pain and anxiety most often, then depression. AllBud’s page lists attention issues, depression, nausea and stress. These are self-reports from small samples, not medical findings.
These are user reports, not clinical findings. For what research actually supports, see our cannabis health and research section, and talk to your doctor before using cannabis for a health condition.
