Original OG Kush

The OG of OGs

Before every dispensary had 47 different 'OG' strains named after breakfast cereals, there was this one. Born in the mid-90s when people still said "dank" unironically, Original OG Kush by Riot Seeds is basically the cannabis equivalent of your cool uncle who peaked in high school but still rocks. It's got that classic 75% OG genetics with 25% sativa just to keep you from becoming one with your furniture entirely.

Effects: Time Travel in Plant Form

At 18% THC, it's not going to melt your face off like some 30%+ Frankenstein strains, but that's the point. This is sophisticated couch-lock - the kind that makes you cancel plans you never wanted to attend anyway. The sativa influence sneaks in like a friend who brings snacks to your pity party, giving you just enough energy to find the remote before gravity wins.

Flavor Profile: Vintage Gas Station

Tastes like 1996: fuel, pine, and that faint citrus note that screams "we just discovered terpenes." The Chemdawg brings that classic diesel funk while the Pakistani Kush adds earthy depth, and the rumored Lemon Thai? That's the citrus twist that makes you go "huh, fancy" between coughs. It's what your dad meant by "they don't make 'em like they used to" except they literally still do.

Growing: Like Raising a Vintage Vinyl Collection

These dense, bulbous buds are so frosty they look like they owe you money. Flowering in 63-70 days, which is basically two months of pretending to be a responsible plant parent. Trichome coverage hits 60%+ - that's not a statistic, that's a threat. The pale green calyxes with orange pistils are basically wearing a vintage band tee saying "I was cool before you were born."

Medical Benefits: Your Therapist's Side Piece

Perfect for treating the existential dread of realizing your favorite strain is now considered "vintage." Works great for chronic pain, stress, and the crushing weight of nostalgia. The balanced genetics mean you won't fully dissociate, just enough to wonder if your high school crush still thinks about you (they don't).

Who It's For

Ideal for cannabis historians, people who say "back in my day" about weed they smoked last week, and anyone who wants to experience what their older brother wouldn't shut up about. Not recommended for TikTok influencers looking for the next 35% THC monster - this is for people who appreciate subtlety and still use the word "dank" correctly.
