Pro secrets
The secret to unlocking the full potential of OG Kush lies in temperature control. To preserve its delicate Limonene terpenes, vaporize at 349°F (176°C) rather than combusting. This triggers the entourage effect, blending its 22% THC with secondary cannabinoids. It offers a balanced transition, making it great for social afternoons, hiking, or relaxing after work. Beginners should start with a single inhalation due to its fast-acting onset, while seasoned users can appreciate its deep, multi-layered terpene depth.

Hidden Truth
The market is flooded with impostor OG Kush phenotypes. Genuine cuts reveal themselves through Limonene-led terpenes and a unmistakable fuel finish.

First time trying OG Kush. Flavor is on point; start low if you're sensitive to THC. Great for evening sessions.
