Herbal Alternatives was the first female (and only native Washingtonian) owned dispensary to be awarded a license in the District of Columbia.

Jen Brunenkant, the company’s founder, with nearly three decades in the cannabis industry, has heard people downplay and demonize the use of cannabis as a legitimate, safer alternative to pharmaceuticals with severe adverse side effects. Jen has listened to fellow boomers who could not shake the negative stigma of cannabis use that had been indoctrinated into them for decades. She has experienced firsthand how everyday pain affects one’s personal and professional relationships and she has seen how the need for safe access and comprehensive cannabis guidance crosses all cultural, gender, racial, ethnic and religious communities.

Jen’s experiences guide the approach Herbal Alternatives takes to providing cannabis to DC residents and visitors to our great city. She sought out a location in a traditional office building for the extra layer of safety it provided patients and as a visual, continuing statement that dispensaries have a rightful place beside all other types of businesses. 

The company’s tag line--Effective. Natural. Pure—aptly describes what regulated cannabis is for patients who suffer from a myriad of illnesses and symptoms ranging from occasional coping to life threatening. Operating as a deli-style dispensary, Herbal Alternatives gives patients the opportunity to see and smell the flowers to aid them in their selections, which are weighed in front of them in increments of their choice by knowledgeable cannabis specialists.

As individuals, all Herbal Alternatives’ cannabis specialists have a personal history that makes them advocates of the medicinal benefits of cannabis. Their unique histories and diverse backgrounds resonate with patients who, whether first time purchasers or experienced users, appreciate the knowledge and understanding they bring to assessing each patient’s distinctive needs and situation. 
Our staff, and their approach to guiding patients along the path to wellness through cannabis, is a large part of what makes each patient’s visit to Herbal Alternatives a singular, tailored experience. This talented group of people not only learn from one another but, through daily interactions with patients, refine (and sometime redesign) solutions that promote a better dispensary experience that elevates the patients’ physical, emotional and psychological wellness.

We love what we do (no matter the obstacles we face) and thank you for the privilege of being a part of your lives.

OG Kush (aka OGK) is a slightly sativa dominant (45/55) hybrid cross of unknown parentage (though thought to be Chemdawg x Hindu Kush). OGK has a classic sour citrusy flavor with hints of woody pine. The aroma is similar, with a spicy and pungent overtone. The effects of OGK start almost as soon as you exhale, filling you with an uplifted sense of unfocused happiness and ease. You will feel sociable and outgoing. Beware, OGK will definitely trigger the munchies.

Flower: OG Kush

OG Kush, also known as "Premium OG Kush,"&nbsp;was first cultivated in Florida&nbsp;in the early ‘90s when a marijuana strain from Northern California was supposedly crossed with <a href="https://www.leafly.com/strains/chemdawg">Chemdawg</a>, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/strains/lemon-thai">Lemon Thai</a> and&nbsp;a <a href="/strains/hindu-kush">Hindu Kush</a> plant from Amsterdam. The result was a <a href="https://www.leafly.com/strains/lists/category/hybrid">hybrid</a> with a unique terpene profile that boasts a complex aroma with notes of fuel, skunk,&nbsp;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&nbsp;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 <a href="/strains/bubba-kush">Bubba Kush</a>) from Florida to legendary cultivator Josh D. Since then, OG Kush has become a worldwide staple used to create numerous famous strains like <a href="/strains/gsc">GSC</a> and <a href="/strains/headband">Headband</a>. There are many different phenotypes of OG Kush weed, including <a href="/strains/tahoe-og">Tahoe OG</a>, <a href="/strains/sfv-og">SFV OG</a>, and <a href="/strains/ghost-og">Ghost OG</a>.
