OG Kush

Three layers. The top is lemon zest and pine sap, sharp and bright — that's the limonene reading hard. Underneath that is diesel, fuel-edged but warmer than Sour Diesel's diesel. The base is damp earth and a deep kush funk that sits in the back of the throat just on the nose. It's a polarizing smell — people who love OG can spot it across a room, and people who don't, walk past.

Yes, but the order shifts. On the inhale it's diesel up front — heavy, fuel-leaning, with a citrus edge that keeps it from feeling tarry. On the exhale lemon zest comes through, then earthy pine, then a kush-funk finish that lingers. Closer to a heavy whisky than a cocktail.

Hybrid leaning indica. The body-heavy buzz is what most people remember; the head-up is briefer than what you'd get from a true hybrid like Blue Dream.

Two reasons. First, OG Kush is the ancestor of half the West Coast catalog — so customers who like Girl Scout Cookies, Bubba Kush, Skywalker OG, Larry OG, Tahoe OG, or SFV OG eventually circle back to the source. Second, the name traveled outside cannabis circles in the 2000s through rap lyrics and packaging — new customers walk in asking for it specifically, and almost always come back happy.

OG Kush is the heritage pick. Regulars who like the original Bubba Kush, Master Kush, or any of the SFV OG / Larry OG / Tahoe OG family rotate this back in when they want the source. New customers who've heard the name in rap lyrics or seen it on packaging walk in asking for it specifically.

OG Kush tests in the 20–26% THC range, which puts it on the higher end of the shelf. Customers with a built tolerance handle it fine; lower-tolerance customers should go a half-dose or less the first time and see where it lands.

Most regulars reach for it after dinner. Body-weight comes on slow but lands, and the kush funk pairs with the kind of meal that wants a heavy hybrid. Not a daytime strain.

Not subtle on the nose — OG Kush is one of the strains a sensitive neighbor will identify from across the duplex. Not a daytime strain; the body-weight comes on slow but lands. And not the strain for someone whose first cannabis experience is happening tonight — better to start somewhere lighter and work up.
