OG Kush, also known as "Premium OG Kush," was first cultivated in Florida in the early ‘90s when a marijuana strain from Northern California was supposedly crossed with Chemdawg, Lemon Thai and a Hindu Kush plant from Amsterdam. The result was a hybrid with a unique terpene profile that boasts a complex aroma with notes of fuel, skunk, and spice. OG often refers to “Original Gangster,” or "Ocean Grown" indicating either the strain’s authenticity or intensity. Many people have different names for the acronym, but real OG Kush 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 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.

Let's make it organized in points: 1) In order to taste it as pure as possible, I vaped this strain using a convection vaporizer (TinyMight 2) attached to a little bong with filtration. Despite that, I still sometimes struggle when guessing the taste - I am not a cannabis connoisseur, and I am also pretty new to vaping and weed in general. 2) A different VARIATION: Now I am actually vaping THC-X OG Kush, but the molecule is only slightly different from the normal THC, so I suppose that the effects should be very similar. 3) The TASTE: - OG Kush was much more pungent than I expected to be honest. To me, the earthy/woody tone is also too prevalent (I miss my favorite sweet and lemony strains, lol). But I like the fact that I can also taste some kinda sweet herbal flavor (maybe similar to pine?) in the background a bit. - Taste 4.6/10 4) EFFECTS: - It put me at ease, making me relaxed. More indica-like feeling. After a while, it hit me pretty hard, making me even feel dizzy, more than usual. Eventually the dizziness weakens, and it becomes just a part of the experience. This kind of slight dizziness is always fun, but it must never be too much. - Makes me damn aroused. But that is with most cannabis strains for me. - Eventually it makes me get lost in my creative imagination. For some time, I get to work on my creative projects and continue writing my stories (also pretty common for me when vaping weed). - Effects 7/10 5) OVERALL: Yeah, it's an ok strain. The feelings I get are great, almost trippy. It gets me into the flow and makes me forget about time. But the flavor just... I am simply into something else. Earthy tones are fine, but this is just too much. I can understand why this strain has such an influence - it is just a strong-tasting weed that leans heavily into the earthy/woddy style, and it does so a. Wait, I am gonna take another hit... Bro, I am flying between planets right now! Whoooaaa! Kind of dizzy again, makes me write pretty slow, haha. This dizziness is ok, it's not excessive like before. But like I already said: Alghouth the effects are quite cool, the taste really is not for me. FINAL RATING: 5.8 / 10

Had this sitting around for a bit before actually using it the aroma was strong right away piney and kind of earthy with something almost musky underneath that reminded me why people talk about this strain so much buds were dense and sticky when I broke them apart took a hit and immediately felt my face get warm that tingling sensation spreading across my cheeks Within minutes my entire body went heavy like gravity decided to turn up Wasnt expecting to get locked down like that but it happened fast my couch suddenly became the only place that made sense to be thoughts got sluggish but in a way that didn't bother me just let them drift without holding onto anything talked to someone at Elevate-la about finding something that actually hits different and they pointed me toward this one the taste was woody and almost bitter lingering for a while after I finished About four hours in and I was still feeling it pretty hard which is rare Eventually everything just faded into this dull comfort and then slee p happened without me really planning for it Its definitely the kind of thing you respect but dont necessarily reach for on a random friday.

Lit into a bowl of this OG Kush after a long stretch of staring at screens figuring it d cut through the fog without much fuss midway through the bud from Elevate-la started unfolding its piney bite earthy and straightforward pulling in a lemony thread that sharpened the pull on each draw It settled over me gradual muting the chatter in my head while loosening the knots in my neck and back turning the rooms edges soft stayed balanced enough to flip through some old records without zoning out completely effects holding steady for the better part of an hour before fading gentle wrapped up leaving a low hum of ease nothing flashy just grounded.
