OG Kush, also known as “Premium OG Kush,” is a legendary hybrid strain that has shaped the foundation of modern West Coast cannabis. First cultivated in Florida in the early 1990s, OG Kush was the result of crossing a Northern California strain with Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and a Hindu Kush plant from Amsterdam. The outcome? A one-of-a-kind strain with a bold terpene profile and powerful, balanced effects.
OG Kush is instantly recognizable by its distinct aroma — a complex mix of lemon, pine, fuel, skunk, and spice. While the “OG” in its name is often debated — with meanings ranging from “Original Gangster” to “Ocean Grown” — one thing is certain: real OG Kush delivers intense potency and authentic flavor.
This high-THC strain provides a mixed head-and-body experience, offering an initial cerebral buzz that gradually eases into full-body relaxation. It’s a favorite for evening use, helping to melt away stress, tension, and mental clutter.
OG Kush became a true cannabis cornerstone in 1996, when Matt “Bubba” Berger brought it from Florida to Los Angeles, where he partnered with the legendary grower Josh D. It quickly gained popularity and went on to become the genetic backbone of countless iconic strains, including GSC (Girl Scout Cookies) and Headband.
Over time, many unique phenotypes have emerged, such as Tahoe OG, SFV OG, and Ghost OG, each with its own subtle twist on the classic.
