When I first started getting weed around 17 years old, I wasn’t blessed enough to smoke unique cannabis strains. Everything was either low end skunk weed or something a person grew. Sensimilla back then was called “crip,” “chronic,” and “hydro” among other names. By the time I got to college, I started to find strain-unique batches of cannabis flower buds. I’ll never forget the excitement that I had when our acquaintance told me that he found White Widow. That night all of us smoked a joint and walked onto the other side of campus to see live music at the student-run restaurant. Months later were graced with a strong batch of Sour Diesel that made an impression on me about the possible impact of quality cannabis compared to the junk I had in high school. Now that I live in a state with a legal weed market, I see a lot of hybrid strains that are derived from OG Kush. The famous hybrid strain Girl Scout Cookies was made from crossing OG Kush with Durban Poison, while Bubba Kush a cross between Hindu Kush and OG Kush. It’s hard to find a fine batch of OG Kush in our state because a lot of growers will pass off an inferior cultivar as OG Kush when it doesn’t reflect the taste profile and effects of the OG Kush I got when I lived in California for a few years in the early 2010s. You guess you’ve got real OG Kush when you open the jar and smell the rich, citrus aroma of the flower buds.
