OG Kush (High Grade Alternatives)

OG Kush Medical Marijuana Strain Review

From:  High Grade Alternatives

Grade:  A

Type:  Sativa-dominant Hybrid, not sure which ‘cut’ this one is (will update if/when we get info)

Price:  $50/8th

Appearance:  (8/10)  With a somewhat “loose” structure of bunched-together calyxes on stalks, this was a fairly unique-looking OG.  It’s a medium dark green bleached pale thanks to the pink/peach pistils and the trich coverage.  Speaking of trichs, they are perfect, with a selection of very well-preserved amber heads.  The sample was dry and nice otherwise, but we did find a few immature seeds in it.

Aroma:  (8.5 /10)  A bit of a weird strain, this one smelled lightly sweet and piney/gingery in the jar but once handled turned into a menacing, skunky, almost gun oil/tire store stink that reminds us of a quality ChemDog.  It’s basically a classic sweet-tinged kush in the jar, but a stinky, pungent kush when ground… very nice indeed, though not exactly “appealing” due to the acrid nature.

Taste: (8/10)  Luckily the ground smell wasn’t the dominant taste, as this one yielded a taste more along the lines of the jar smell, with tones of pine, ginger, and citrus.  It was never overt and pungent, but the first two hits were flavorful.  It was moderately harsh and expanded like crazy though, so be careful… the ash showed a quality flush.

Effects:  Like many Sativas, this one went right to the head and eyes, with a rushing warmth, flushed face, and slight perspiration.  It was on the racy side, but the feeling behind the eyes was among the strongest we’ve experienced… buzzing, almost burning.  This was a bit of a two-sided strain, as we seemed to be comfortable on the couch when alone but up and active when with others.  It dropped in potency noticeably about 1:15 in, leaving a capable and energetic feeling behind that remained until the end.

Medicinal Traits: (We are NOT doctors – personal opinion ONLY)  Energetic and mentally motivated at first, more calm and relaxed towards the end, this med also showed great promise with ocular issues, while also helping with minor body pain and relaxation.

Overall:  This was a very interesting OG Kush — it had a very pungent aroma that brought to mind a Poison OG due to its harsh almost chemical twang, but smelled weirdly sweet when not being handled.  The potency at first was off the charts, with ridiculously strong eye buzzing sensations and a burst of energy, but it became more manageable as it went on.  The total package was all pretty top-notch — strong, pungent, visually appealing… worth a trip to Boulder for sure.
