Widely carried

OG Kush is one of the most genetically important cannabis strains in the modern era. Created in Florida in the early 1990s by crossing a Northern California plant with Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and a Hindu Kush from Amsterdam, it became the foundation for West Coast cannabis — producing descendants like GSC, Headband, Tahoe OG, and SFV OG.

Expect a complex aroma of fuel, skunk, pine, and spice, and a relaxed, hungry, moderately sedating effect that leans better in the afternoon or evening. High-THC pheno expression means newer consumers should be careful with dose.
