About OG Kush

OG Kush is the backbone of modern cannabis genetics. Bred in the early 1990s in Florida before making its way to California, this hybrid has parented dozens of popular strains including Girl Scout Cookies, Gelato, and Wedding Cake. Its influence on the industry is hard to overstate.

The experience starts with a quick cerebral rush: a warm, euphoric headspace that softens the edges of whatever you've been thinking about. Within 15 to 20 minutes, a heavy body relaxation sets in that roots you to wherever you're sitting. THC runs between 20% and 26%, so this is not a strain to underestimate. The piney, lemony aroma with earthy undertones is immediately recognizable.

We stock OG Kush at Jungle Kingdom Flower because it's a foundational strain that every cannabis consumer should try at least once. Availability rotates depending on our supplier partnerships, so check the online menu or ask a budtender at 515 Nostrand Ave or 1055 Flushing Ave. If we don't have OG Kush specifically, we'll likely have one of its many descendants on the shelf.

Terpene Profile

Terpenes in OG Kush

Terpenes shape the aroma, flavor, and effects of every cannabis strain. Here are the dominant terpenes in OG Kush.

Myrcene
Earthy, Musky

Myrcene dominates OG Kush's profile and drives much of its sedating body effect. It creates that heavy, resinous quality that coats the palate and promotes deep physical relaxation.

Limonene
Lemon, Citrus

Limonene adds brightness to OG Kush's otherwise earthy and piney character. It lifts the mood and helps prevent the heavy body effects from tipping into full sedation.

Caryophyllene
Pepper, Wood

Caryophyllene contributes a woody, spicy finish that rounds out OG Kush's complex flavor. Its interaction with CB2 receptors may contribute to the strain's reputation for easing physical tension.

Common Questions

OG Kush FAQ

What does OG stand for in OG Kush?+
The meaning is debated. Some say it stands for 'Ocean Grown,' referring to its cultivation near the California coast. Others interpret it as 'Original Gangster,' a nod to its status as one of the most influential strains in cannabis history. There's no definitive answer, but both explanations have strong support.
Is OG Kush indica or sativa?+
OG Kush is a balanced hybrid, though it leans slightly toward indica in its effects. The initial head high is cerebral and uplifting (sativa traits), but the dominant body relaxation and appetite stimulation that follow are more typical of indica genetics.
What strains come from OG Kush?+
OG Kush has parented or influenced an enormous number of modern strains. Direct descendants include Girl Scout Cookies, Gelato, Wedding Cake, SFV OG, and Headband. Many of the most popular strains in legal dispensaries today carry OG Kush genetics somewhere in their lineage.
