OG Kush : The Ins and Outs of Iconic Strain

What You Can Expect When You Try The OG Kush Strain

You can expect to feel:

Hungry

Euphoric

Relaxed

Imagine the invigorating scent of lemon pine with touches of fuel-like dankness, matched by a balanced body and mind experience. That’s the experience of the hybrid masterpiece OG Kush, beloved for its unique scent and heavy-hitting effects.

OG Kush is a descendant of three timeless strains, and it’s also the parent of fan-favorite hybrids like GSC, Headband, and Bubba Kush. No wonder it’s called the “Original Gangster” — OG Kush has been a fan favorite for more than 30 years and has played an essential role in modern-day cannabis for decades.

With a relatively high THC content reaching up to 25%, the OG Kush onset is swift, unleashing a wave of sociability, chattiness, and euphoria. Prepare for some munchies and a desire for engaging conversation, all while feeling deeply, deeply relaxed. Connoisseurs typically recommend savoring OG Kush during a leisurely afternoon or in the company of friends — this one isn’t best for being out and about.

OG Kush Essentials: What You Need To Know Before You Try

What is OG Kush’s genetic lineage?

Also known as “Premium OG Kush,” OG Kush originated in California during the early ‘90s. It is believed that the strain resulted from the crossbreeding of the Northern California strain Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and a Hindi Kush plant from Amsterdam.

OG Kush cannabinoids: Is OG Kush a strong strain?

OG Kush is considered a strong strain, with THC levels averaging around 20% to 25% or higher. The potency contributes to the strain’s renowned effects.

OG Kush also contains Cannabinol (CBN), a lesser-known minor cannabinoid and byproduct of degrading THC. It’s believed to have a relaxing effect. In OG Kush, CBN levels average about 1%. While that may not seem substantial, it’s significant within the context of minor cannabinoids.

What terpenes are found in OG Kush?

The OG Kush terpene profile includes myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene. Each terpene contributes to the strain’s unique flavor and aroma while also shaping your experience. Myrcene is generally associated with relaxing properties, while limonene brings a citrusy and uplifting quality, and caryophyllene adds a hint of spice.

What does the OG Kush strain taste and smell like?

OG Kush has an unmistakable aroma of earthy pungency, backed by notes of diesel and fuel. In terms of taste, OG Kush offers a sweet undertone with notes of spice. The interplay of earthiness, diesel, and subtle sweetness or spice creates a multidimensional and memorable taste that contributes to the strain’s popularity.

Is OG Kush indica, sativa, or hybrid?

OG Kush is an indica-leaning hybrid, typically composed of 55% indica and 45% sativa lineage. While this balance is pretty consistent from plant to plant, slight variations may occur with different crossbreeds or cultivators.

What are the benefits of the OG Kush strain?

While it’s important to understand that individual experiences may vary, most folks say OG Kush invites happiness and euphoria to the sesh. Whole-body relief is common as you sink deeper into the couch, cuddled by your favorite blanket. The munchies are effects of OG Kush, too, so stock up on snacks before the sesh.

Why is OG Kush so famous?

OG Kush is the “mother” of many iconic cannabis strains and a pillar of California cannabis culture. Since it emerged on the West Coast in the early ‘90s, OG Kush has become a legend in its own right while shaping many more iconic strains, like Headband and GSC. It’s also part of the larger Kush family of strains, an iconic set of indicas or indica-leaning hybrids with Kush lineage, like Tahoe OG or SFV OG.

Aside from OG Kush’s role in cannabis culture, cannabis lovers across NYC and around the U.S. love its unique scent and potent effects. The name recognition helps, too.

Will OG Kush put you to sleep?

While some folks say that the OG Kush strain can make them sleepy, that’s not the most commonly reported effect of this indica-leaning cannabis. This means you could feel sleepy. The best way to know how OG Kush affects you is to give it a try.

4 OG Kush strain shopping tips

Ask for lab testing: Lab testing confirms the precise cannabinoid and terpene content of your OG Kush product. It also proves that the product has passed all testing required by the state of New York before a cannabis product can be sold.

Shop licensed: Ensure you purchase OG Kush products from licensed dispensaries with proven credibility and commitment to your experience. You can ensure the dispensary’s legitimacy by checking credentials and looking for the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) sticker in the front window. If there’s no sticker, the shop is unlicensed.

Ask the budtender anything: The knowledgeable budtenders at The Travel Agency are trained to answer your questions, big and small, simple and complicated. We’re here to address all your questions and provide essential information tailored to your unique preferences and needs.

Read up on customer reviews: Before making any purchases, explore customer reviews and testimonials to help set the stage for the kind of experience you may have. This can help you decide if OG Kush is the right strain for you.
