Deep Dive: OG Kush

Alright, it's about that time on a Monday night to pay respect to an absolute legend. The one, the only, the Original Gangster: OG Kush. You can't even talk about modern cannabis without mentioning this strain. Its genetics are a bit of a mystery—think Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, maybe some Hindu Kush—but what isn't a mystery is its impact. The smell is iconic. It's that unmistakable funky, earthy, diesel scent hit with a sharp blast of lemon and pine. It’s complex, it’s loud, and it smells like pure, top-shelf gas. The high is the definition of a perfect hybrid experience. It starts with a heavy wave of euphoria that hits you right behind the eyes, making you feel happy, giggly, and sociable. Then, just as you're vibing, a warm, relaxing body high creeps in and melts away all the tension and stress from the day. It’s that perfect balance that chills you out completely without putting you to bed immediately. A true icon for a reason, and the perfect way to cap off the night.
