OG Kush Strain Overview
OG Kush is a popular cultivar that is definitely worth singing about. Originally cultivated in Florida during the early ’90s, OG Kush is thought to be a cross of a strain from Northern California and a Chemdawg x Lemon Thai x Hindu Kush plant from Amsterdam. Often reported to be physically and mentally calming, OG Kush has a tangy skunk flavor and a sour citrus aroma.
Medical cannabis patients often choose “OG” as a sleep aid, but its uses extend far beyond pillow talk. Ideal for socializing, OG Kush tends to make users feel euphoric and talkative. With THC levels resting at around 18%-23%, this myrcene-, limonene-, and caryophyllene-rich strain lives up to its name as the “Original Gangster” of the weed world. Expect an appetite boost after a few puffs of OG. Thanks to its analgesic cannabinoid and terpenoid composition, some users also recommended it for pain relief.
