Explore the iconic OG Kush strain: Ideal for stress relief and euphoria

OG Kush Strain, also known as “OGK,” was first cultivated in Florida in the early ‘90s when a marijuana strain from Northern California is a slightly sativa-dominant hybrid strain (55% sativa/45% Indica) with unknown parentage due to breeder secrecy. However, it is considered a cross of the iconic Chemdawg strains X Hindu Kush strains.

Probably the most famous strain in medicinal marijuana, OG Kush Strain is the perfect hybrid with a unique terpene profile that boasts a complex aroma with notes of fuel, skunk, and spice for any indica or sativa lover. It starts almost as soon as you exhale, filling your brain with an uplifted sense of unfocused happiness and ease.

You’ll find yourself feeling sociable and outgoing, chatting with anyone and everyone around you, although you may fall in and out of fits of the giggles at times. OG often refers to “Original Gangster,” indicating either the strain’s authenticity or intensity.  OGK 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 Strain 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.

A pang of hunger comes next, leaving you with a heavy case of the munchies and reaching for anything in sight to snack on. Combined with its high 20-26% average THC level, these effects make OGK a great choice for treating those suffering from conditions such as chronic stress or anxiety, mood swings or depression, appetite loss or nausea, and migraines or headaches.

This bud has a classic sour citrusy flavor with hints of woody pine. The aroma is very similar, with a spicy kushy overtone that’s accented by sour citrus, woody pine, and pungent dank. OG Kush Strain buds have fat grape-shaped forest green nugs with long, thin orange hairs, golden undertones, and a coating of tiny, golden-white crystal trichomes.
