OG Chem
11/19/2022
Absolute all-timer and everything you could ever ask for in a strain. OG Chem (also called Chemdog OG) is one of the oldest and widely-grown strains of all time. I’ve had multiple people who I’ve seshed with say that the smell of it is familiar or reminds them of their childhood; that’s probably because it was most likely what a family member smoked when they were growing up. Crazy isn’t it?
While it definitely tests fairly low in regards to THC percentage, don’t let that fool you: Chemdog OG packs a PUNCH. It’s extremely smooth and not at all difficult to smoke, you want more and more of it as you continue just because of how easy it goes down. On the nose, it is extremely baseline, smelling very earthy and skunky without being too pungent. The flavor, however, is awesome. The main notes received are pretty much identical to the scent; very earthy with a little skunk in the background. After a few hits though, it very quickly melts into a very pleasant sour taste, as well as being fairly gassy. It’s pleasant all around and there’s nothing I would change about it.
The appearance is even better, in my opinion. What really makes Chemdog OG stand out is how fluffy the buds are. While they’re overall still more medium-sized buds (at least compared to many other strains), they’re by no means small; long buds that taper off. Completely covered in sticky white frost (trichomes) and as sticky as you would expect, it has an overall fantastic appearance. Grinds and packs extremely well into both bowls and joints.
After finishing your sesh, expect an extremely pleasant full-body high that gets stronger and stronger as you peak. The high is extremely unique and not something you can experience with most strains. It’s an extremely strong tension-relieving high that courses through your entire body, head to toe, throughout the entire duration of it. When using for medical reasons, I’ve found that it works as well as most strains for relieving nausea, slightly better than most for sleep and pain relief, and significantly better than most for relieving gastrointestinal issues. Very hard to go wrong with Chemdog OG no matter what your intended use is.
Overall, an all-timer that deserves all of the recognition and hype that it receives, Chemdog OG is as good of a widely-available hybrid as any other. Being available to just about everyone in a legal market AND doing just about everything you could ever need it to, there’s little reason to doubt this absolute gem of a strain. Thanks for reading!
