\n<\/span>What is OG Kush?<\/strong>
\n<\/h2>\n

OG Kush is one of the most popular cannabis strains in the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The OG Kush cannabis strain is especially popular in Southern California.<\/p>\n

Marijuana from the OG Kush line has been legally available there for several years and is also prescribed in medical contexts.<\/p>\n

So it is no surprise that growing OG Kush strains has been booming in California ever since.<\/p>\n

No other cannabis strain has had this level of commercial success since the 1980s.<\/p>\n

But what makes the OG Kush<\/em> strain so special?<\/p>\n

OG Kush is known both for its unmistakable aroma and for its psychoactive character.<\/p>\n

It is also often used as medical cannabis.<\/p>\n

OG Kush is a hybrid strain made up mostly of Cannabis Sativa.<\/p>\n

A small amount of Cannabis Indica is also present.<\/p>\n

The OG Kush character is often described as lively and active.<\/p>\n

That can appeal to people looking for a cannabis strain that is not described as overly heavy.<\/p>\n

The exact genetic origin of OG Kush is unclear, but most people follow the theory that it is a hybrid of Chemdawg, Lemon Thai, and Pakistani Kush.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A fresh, lemony aroma is typical of OG Kush.<\/p>\n

The mature green flowers grow dense and large, covered with white trichomes.<\/p>\n

What is the OG Kush profile like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cannabis strains with OG Kush genetics are known for a vivid, full-bodied profile.<\/p>\n

Because the plant belongs mainly to the Sativa family, it is often described as lively and expressive.<\/p>\n

The THC content of this cannabis strain is almost always above 19%.<\/p>\n

OG Kush is therefore a high-THC strain often chosen by experienced smokers.<\/p>\n

The CBD content, by contrast, is very low at around 0.3%.<\/p>\n

The OG Kush profile is often described as both physical and mental, with a Sativa-like character.<\/p>\n

Users often describe the profile as both rounded and uplifting.<\/p>\n

After just a few pulls, many users describe a warm, comfortable tone before the heavier side appears.<\/p>\n

The bold, aromatic character makes OG Kush a popular choice for an evening joint.<\/p>\n

If you do not have much experience with OG Kush cannabis strains yet, take it slow with this one.<\/p>\n

OG Kush terpenes for cannabis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not everyone enjoys cannabis completely pure.<\/p>\n

As an alternative, you can smoke your flower with nicotine-free tobacco substitute in the form of herbal blends with terpenes<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Real Leaf herbal blends are 100% natural and contain neither nicotine nor tobacco.<\/p>\n

The flavorful herbal blends are enriched with real cannabis terpenes.<\/p>\n

That brings aromatic flavor and adds a noticeable botanical character to the smoking experience.<\/p>\n

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found alongside terpenoids and help define a plant profile.<\/p>\n

In plain language: terpenes help shape the aroma, flavor, and overall character of cannabis.<\/p>\n

So when you mix your cannabis with a terpene herbal blend, the overall profile of the session can feel more rounded.<\/p>\n

By the way, herbal blends contain neither CBD nor THC.<\/p>\n

The herbal blend with OG Kush terpenes is a natural aromatic recreation of the OG Kush strain profile.<\/p>\n

OG Kush is known for its layered and distinctive aroma.<\/p>\n

When you smoke cannabis with terpene herbal blends, you can expect a more layered aroma profile.<\/p>\n

\nThe top 3 cannabis strains with OG Kush<\/strong> <\/h2>\n

There are many cannabis strains, but OG Kush is especially popular among breeders.<\/p>\n

Kush strains have their genetic origins in the Hindu Kush mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan.<\/p>\n

There, cannabis still grows in the wild.<\/p>\n

All Kush strains share a very distinctive taste, firm flowers, and high yields.<\/p>\n
