OG Kush, also known as "Premium OG Kush," was first cultivated in Florida in the early ‘90s when a marijuana strain from Northern California was supposedly crossed with Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and a Hindu Kush plant from Amsterdam. The result was a hybrid with a unique terpene profile that boasts a complex aroma with notes of fuel, skunk, and spice. OG often refers to “Original Gangster,” or "Ocean Grown" indicating either the strain’s authenticity or intensity. Many people have different names for the acronym, but real OG Kush should smell like lemon-pine-fuel with a high-THC, mixed head and body effect. It's often enjoyed in the back half of the day to ease stress.

The genetic backbone of West Coast cannabis varieties, OG Kush arrived in Los Angeles in 1996 when Matt “Bubba” Berger brought it (along with “The Bubba,” which was later used to create the famed Bubba Kush) from Florida to legendary cultivator Josh D. Since then, OG Kush has become a worldwide staple used to create numerous famous strains like GSC and Headband. There are many different phenotypes of OG Kush weed, including Tahoe OG, SFV OG, and Ghost OG.

I've experienced both the light effects and being absolutely sent to a different planet with this strain. Highly recommend it. New smoker here, so don't have a lot to compare it with apart from the first time I got high, which was at friend's place with an unknown strain that got us completely blazed. I have since smoked a handful of times by myself and it's all been with OG Kush. I've experienced both the light effects and being absolutely sent to a different planet. In my experience, at a lower dosage, this strain mostly just leaves you feeling very relaxed and immensely euphoric, which is a very cosy, calming and stress-relieving sensation that really makes your problems disappear for a while. At a moderate dosage I found that the visual distortions didn't increase too much from being slight amplifications of the environment, meaning colours becoming more vibrant and movement seeming more fluid, but the moderate level of being high on this strain consistently gave me the sensation of an electric, sparking buzz moving up and down my back, creating the very pleasant illusion of being massaged. At a very high dosage though, this strain really started to show its true colours. Visual distortions of a very extreme degree, not only amplifying the environment, but seemingly drastically changing it. Immensely increased pareidolia, making any subject in focus become lifelike and animated and also an extreme level of creativity, creating a feeling of tapping into an outer, flowing stream of concepts and ideas and being able to capture them. At a high level of high, OG Kush also made me extremely aroused, making already very pleasurable sensations even more intense. KEEP IN MIND: Though I do recommend OG Kush and it's high, for me there were some caveats when smoking it at a very high dosage relative to my tolerance. I smoked a medium-sized joint around 2:00PM during the day, smoking the joint down to a roach in just under an hour, yet the high lasted 4 hours of immersive, psychoactive effects, another 4 hours of strong bodily sensations and then it came back around for a second wave that took me to a moderate level of high again! This second wave lasted until I fell asleep around 1:00AM, meaning the high lasted me in total around 12 hours. But wait, there's more. When I woke up, I did still feel a very slight sensation of relaxation, but an hour later, when it was time to go to school, an extreme episode of paranoia kicked in. I am in general very paranoid and overthinking, so that might have had something to do with it, but I had to stay very vigilant and assertive over my own mind to not let myself get dragged down into some dark, scared depths. It didn't help that the train was jam-packed making me feel claustrophobic, or the that I didn't have classes with my friends that day, it just made feel very stressed and alone. This whole episode lasted about 2-3 hours until I all by myself overcame the paranoia and eventually made it cease. While the actual episode of anxiousness was very unpleasant and scary, overcoming it and walking out into fresh air after my first class having defeated it, made me feel like a champion. TL;DR New smoker, but have experienced all levels of high with OG Kush. Low dosages are numbing, relaxing and serene. Moderate dosages are the same, but with a greater bodily intensity. High dosages are very immersive, intense and fun! The trip itself lasted 12+ hours, with two waves of a high. At low dosages it always took me 20-30 minutes to sense any effect, but at a high dosage the effects hit me hard already after just 10 minutes! The main high felt like it went from 100% THC to 80% THC, very entertaining visually and the bodily sensations were fantastic too.

This has been the #1 strain for crushing crippling stress and anxiety. I'm in a situation right now that is very stressful, and causing me the most anxiety I have ever felt in my entire life. This is the only strain providing me with any sort of relief. It's making it tolerable. Definitely a stoney high, Indica dominant. Lemon taste. Effects last a few hours. Helps stress and mood as well as pain and insomnia.

When Bud is made right aid taste right that has always been the model that I go by when VAPING BUD however I would have to say this has been the most tastiest and most sedative strains. I have to say that this version of Bud and craftsmanship out blows all of the other dispensaries away. This is high-quality but if you're in the area I highly suggest you get there OG Kush they have a lot of in because and their products seem to keep getting better and better and better they even have CBD know I know I sound like a promoter but I'm not I've been looking for some strong cannabis for sometime and I think I finally found it. The smell is leafly a little bit of tea and grass clippings since it's very fresh and it has flower structure, this helps with my mood disorders my ADD ADHD and Ocd. Be forewarned OG Kush of this nature is a very powerful take it in small doses also bring plenty of water and eyedrops with you it chokes you up like a bird flipper you have been warned I am a connoisseur of all types of cannabis I'm looking for the strongest and the most organic origins. It's very frosty looking as well as dense I look at it almost like I'm smoking it from a blunt it is thick and I couldn't be happier.
