When I first started getting marijuana in my school years, I wasn’t lucky enough to smoke particular cannabis strains.
Everything was either a low end brick weed which was referred to as “mids,” or you could get sensimilla weed that was regularly grown locally in a person’s house.
Sensimilla back then was called “crip,” “chronic,” & “hydro” among other titles. By the time I reached college, I started to find strain-particular batches of cannabis flower buds. I’ll never forget the wonderfulness that I had when my associate told me that he found White Widow. That evening both of us smoked a joint & 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 a lasting effect on me about the possible impact of quality cannabis compared to the junk I had in high college. Now that I live in a state with a legal cannabis 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 with Hindu Kush & OG Kush. It’s hard to find a nice crop of OG Kush in my state because a lot of growers will pass off an inferior cultivar as OG Kush when it doesn’t reflect the taste profile & effects of the OG Kush I got when I lived in CA for a few years in the early 2000s. You guess you’ve got real OG Kush when you open the tin & smell the rich, wet aroma of the flower buds.
