Fact Checked by Doctor NameWhat is OG (Ocean Grown)?
OG, also known as Ocean Grown or Original Gangster, refers to a lineage of cannabis strains known for being exceptionally potent.
The term OG has its roots (pun intended) in Southern California cannabis culture and was initially designated as a particularly potent herb coming out of the Los Angeles area.
Over decades, expert cultivators worked OG genetics into new famous strains still known today for their high THC content and strength.
Varieties, including OG Kush, Tahoe OG, Diablo OG, San Fernando Valley OG, and others, trace their lineages back to the original OG genetic stock.
The exact genetics that led to OG strains are debated but often include combinations of strains like Chemdawg, or Thai Sativa crossed with hybrids containing Northern Lights.
Regardless of exact origin, OG strains are prized by cannabis connoisseurs for their strong, long-lasting high courtesy of typically high THC levels.
They also have rich, complex aromas and flavors with spice, citrus, earthiness, and more. OG strains provide deeply relaxing yet euphoric effects, which are great for relaxation or pain relief.
The OG designation indicates potency and heritage linking back to those original, legendary cannabis hybrids.
