What is OG Kush Strain?
OG Kush is one of the most famous and influential cannabis strains in history. This indica-dominant hybrid has been the foundation for countless modern strains and remains a staple in dispensaries worldwide. The "OG" in OG Kush has been debated for years - some say it stands for "Original Gangster," others claim "Ocean Grown" - but there's no debate about its legendary status.
The OG Kush strain is believed to have originated in Florida in the early 1990s before making its way to California, where it became a cornerstone of West Coast cannabis culture. With THC levels typically ranging from 20-26%, OG Kush weed delivers powerful effects that combine cerebral euphoria with deep physical relaxation.
