The OG That Started It All
OG Kush is one of the most influential cannabis strains in modern history. First bred in the early 1990s, this indica-dominant hybrid has become the genetic backbone of countless West Coast classics including GSC, Skywalker OG, and Bubba Kush. Its reputation for potent, euphoric, full-body effects is well-earned.
Genetics & Lineage
OG Kush is believed to be a cross of Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Hindu Kush. The result: 75% indica / 25% sativa with THC levels typically ranging from 19–26%.
Effects
- Euphoria — A heady, uplifting high that mellows into deep body relaxation
- Stress relief — Popular for end-of-day unwinding
- Appetite stimulation — Expect serious munchies
- Sleep aid — Higher doses are sedating and promote restful sleep
Flavor & Aroma
OG Kush is instantly recognizable: earthy pine, lemony citrus, and a distinctive "fuel" note from its myrcene-heavy terpene profile. The smoke is dense and leaves a lingering herbal finish.
Medicinal Uses
Medical cannabis patients often choose OG Kush for:
- Chronic stress and anxiety
- Insomnia
- Pain and muscle tension
- Appetite loss (chemo, eating disorders under medical supervision)
Best Products
OG Kush is available in flower, pre-rolls, live-resin carts, and concentrates. For a classic experience, we recommend top-shelf flower. For portability, live-resin vape carts preserve the strain's signature terpene profile.
💡 Tip: OG Kush's onset is fast. Take one draw, wait 10 minutes, then decide whether to continue.
