KUSH Society, formally Kush Kousin Society™, is an independent society and community initiative. It is not a fraternity or sorority and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or a chapter of any fraternity, sorority, NPHC/Divine Nine or Greek-letter organization.
The KUSH Collection and associated ANTANYAHH Beauty products help support the mission. A customer is not automatically a Kousin, and a Kousin is never required to purchase or consume cannabis.
