Learn Why OG Kush Is The Godfather Of All West Coast Hybrid Cannabis Strains
OG Kush is the kind of legendary strain that even non-smokers have heard the name of. Essentially the backbone of cannabis on the West Coast, OG Kush is arguably the perfect hybrid strain. It meets you nearly smack dab in the middle with predominant myrcene and limonene terpenes. When it first hit the scene in Florida in the early ‘90s it came to the western side of the U.S. with serious force. OG Kush is the parent to many global cannabis staples such as Headband, Ghost OG, Tahoe OG, Cherry OG, and the wildly popular GSC (f.k.a. Girl Scout Cookies.)
By crossing some unknown Northern Californian strain with a Hindu Kush plant from Amsterdam this unique hybrid strain was born. The eclectic stench of a dive bar might best describe this sought after strain. The smell of sour hops swirling together with pine, wood, and earthy aromas blast your nostrils. The incredibly potent scent is met by the visual presentation of so many sparkly trichomes that you can immediately recognize this strain’s power. It’s not something to be taken lightly.
If you’re a numbers person, this strain consistently delivers on THC percentages between 20-25%. The peppery, and sour beer-like smell of this strain comes from the high levels of myrcene present within it. Also found in thyme and lemongrass, it’s believed this terpene is the key to relaxation. Since this is one of the most common terpenes found in cannabis, it’s no surprise that OG Kush has fallen into such favor. Since the dawn of cannabis consumption, strains that truly chill you out never lose popularity.
Then there’s the limonene terpene, which OG Kush has plenty of. This sweet, yet tart terpene is responsible for the flavor you find in the rinds of lemons and oranges. People have often thrown around the old wives tale that eating oranges is good for depression. Thanks to the research recently done on cannabis we now know this is true. Cannabis strains that are high in limonene have the potential to reduce anxiety and stress when consumed.
Through the winning combination of high THC percentages, and terpenes that promote relaxation and calmness, OG Kush has taken its throne. People largely associate the West Coast as the cutting-edge of cannabis where it’s all happening. OG Kush was just in the right place at the right time to become arguably a staple of what we associate with being high today.
