When I first started smoking cannabis, I had no idea that I’d be able to try so many different strains throughout my life.
Back then it was either “mids” or “crip” and nothing in between.
And the weed prices were as high back then as they are right now. You could get an eighth of an ounce of quality OG Kush for either $50 or $60 back in 2000, and nowadays you’d see a similar price at a legal cannabis dispensary. While it’s one of my all time favorite strains now, it was hard to source OG Kush back in the day. I had White Widow a few times and also Blue Dream and Haze. But OG Kush wasn’t always easy to come by like it is these days. It’s an extremely popular cannabis strain in its own right, but it’s always the parent strain of a bunch of popular hybrid strains as well. For instance, the famous Girl Scout Cookies strain is derived from OG Kush crossed with Durban Poison. Headband is a strain made from crossing OG Kush with the delectable Sour Diesel sativa strain. And then there are famous phenotypes of OG Kush like SFV OG and Tahoe OG. When I took my first trips out west to the original legal states, these variants and hybrids of OG Kush were among my favorite offerings that were available to me at the time. I don’t even know if I could pick a favorite if I was forced to, but Bubba Kush is one possible contender for the top spot. I get it now from the local medical weed store whenever it’s in stock and I’m always blown away despite it having a lower THC content in general.
