More studies are underway, but these preliminary findings would suggest that a cannabis product with high CBD would be beneficial for the underlying inflammation that causes symptoms, and that the THC component could be helpful for pain, cramping, and appetite.  Recently, more and more strains are being cultivated to emphasize CBD, with some that can produce equal parts THC and CBD.  Or, you could pursue extracted products where a wider variety of CBD:THC ratios are available, and avoid the need to smoke.\n\ndrbultman","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7207-markdown","title":"My wife purchased the Tahoe OG Kush Hybrid but feels it has an alerting effect.

Throughout the day Tahoe OG may work well as a hybrid but when it comes to sleep, I recommend switching to a pure Indica about 2 hours prior to bedtime. Granddaddy Purple and Platinum Kush are a couple strains that put me to sleep and Platinum Kush has traces of CBD which also help me relax.\n\nBartSmart","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_6566-markdown","title":"How does an artisanal strain grown with a Flow Kana farmer differ from generic industrial grown bud?","slug":"how-does-an-artisanal-strain-grown-with-a-flow-kana-farmer-differ-from-generic-industrial-grown-bud","content":"\"Is this like the difference between wines? Will I notice a difference in flavor and experience, say if I had an OG Kush from an industrial farm vs. OG Kush from a Flow Kana farmer? I'm trying to understand the difference.\"\n_____________________\nTerroir is the French term that describes the unique attributes that occur in wine based on soil, slope, aspect (South, East,  etc), fertilizer choices, harvest date, and myriad other factors.   We would go as far as to include the intention and energy that the individual farmer puts into the medicine.  Our farmers use ecologically sound practices and do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides.  As in most industrial agriculture, large scale cannabis cultivation often includes the use of chemicals and poisons.  FlowKana farmers utilize Integrated Pest Management strategies and natural processes to create unique results.  A chardonnay grape grown in different locations will produce subtle differences.   OG Kush grown in places by different farmers will do the same; still identifiable as OG, but with subtle variations in flavor,  structure, and effects.\n\namberhappyday\n_____________________\nThis portal has had such insightful questions, but I think this one takes the cake! You kind of hit the nail on the head, likening the differences to those in wine. For better, or for worse, policy makers, industry stakeholders and patients alike, have been drawing a lot of comparisons between cannabis and alcohol, especially as we move towards a more tightly regulated marketplace. \n\nCannabis is particularly similar to wine, in that there are many subtle differences that can be easily expressed and distinguished by consumers. The cannabis plant is cultivated, harvested, processed and stored in so many different ways that there is incredible variety to the flower or hashish that makes it to the consumer. Through the decades of senseless prohibition and the devastating effects of the drug war, cannabis cultivation has been twisted and contorted into a small dark closet of our world, but with changing regulations and the guiding efforts of groups like Flow Kana, cannabis farmers are finally going to see the light.\n\nWhile conventional agriculture would have you think all tomatoes are the same; this is far from the truth. The booming organic food industry, and the overwhelming success of company's like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's should give you some insight into just how wrong conventional Ag is. Now it might be hard to imagine, but there is a significantly more stringent system of farming that far exceeds the standards of today's organic programs, and it is that standard that Flow Kana demands from it's farmers.\n\nThis nature focused, biologically driven approach to farming, practiced by all Flow Kana farmers, works symbiotically with the intrinsic functions of the plant, allowing the plant's truest expression to be revealed. When I say truest expression, I mean in all forms, but most notably, and desirably, in the smell, taste and aroma. These delicate subtle notes that delight the senses are produced by a complex, volatile group of essential oils, called terpenes, that are capable of a myriad of medicinal and therapeutic effects. The natural farming systems employed by Flow Kana farmers enhance the oil production of their flowers, making them stronger smelling, tasting, and in many cases, slightly more potent. The subtle flavor notes present in organic, heirloom vegetables, are the very same differences Flow Kana farmers are able to coax out of their craft, small batch cannabis flowers. \n\nIn short, the differences between industrial OG Kush and Flow Kana OG Kush is intention. Industrial products are always focused on volume and economies of scale, while Flow Kana farmers focus on quality and sustainability. The farmers who give back to the land, see a cyclical return back from the earth; in this case that return is the beautiful cannabis inflorescence. Flow Kana has dedicated themselves to working with the farmers who've nurtured the strongest relationships with the earth and through this amazing synergy something special is forming, we'd love to have you along for the ride!\n\nmicah\n_____________________\nThere isn't any industrial grown flowers in our industry yet. If there was any industrial grown flowers in California today it would be Flow Canna. You see Flow Canna is sun grown which means outdoor grown . When the industry becomes more mainstream you will see fields of outdoor marijuana everywhere . Like vineyards , also like vineyards produce grapes to be processed into wine outdoor cannabis will be used to make oil for vape pens, edibles and so on. Flowers that are sold in their whole form will most likely be grown indoor or in advanced greenhouse. The reason for this is cannabis flowers are very oily and sticky. Any dust , mold spores , mites or even ash from forest fires will stick to the buds. Cannabis flowers are impossible to clean (believe me I have tried several products in my 20 years of cultivating) so the only way to produce clean high end organic pesticide free flowers is to cultivate indoor where the master grower has full control of the crop. For a complete range of our strictly indoor, hydroponic, organic and vegan flowers please follow this link https://greendoorwest.com/collections/all-flowers\n\nFinally let me suggest you compare our OG Kush strains (indoor hydro genetics we have stabilized over 20+ years) ) versus any (and I mean any) outdoor strains...the proof is in the pudding :) Yes you'll be able to taste the difference like thousands of patients in Southern California already have!\n\nclaude","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11471-markdown","title":"OG Kush made me tired, Tropicana was better, is there a strain similar to Tropicana?

Most growers aren't going to waste their time growing something for 3-4 months without knowing what strain it is. Dispensaries that buy grower direct tend to have more control over what their product is. Also dispensaries that lab test their flowers are usually more reliable. Og has a very distinct smell, and you'll be able to identify it with that sense after awhile\n\ncannabear","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10876-markdown","title":"Green Dragon or OG Kush for insomnia and general mood elevation?","slug":"green-dragon-or-og-kush-for-insomnia-and-general-mood-elevation","content":"\"I have Blackberry Kush and Blue Dream vapor for insomnia. I am thinking of adding either one of these for general increase in mood and quieting the mind.  Any thoughts would be appreciated\"\n_____________________\nFor general mood elevation the terpene profile is often more important that the strain. You'll want to look into strains that have a high percentage of limonene - so I'd be on the lookout for strains that have that wonderful citrus or pineapple aroma. Jack Herer, Lemon OG and Pineapple Nectar would all be great genetics to look for. We've also found that a sativa dominant strain with a higher percentage of CBD works great for aiding in mood, anxiety and depression. We get incredible feedback from Cannatonic which has 11% THC and 11% CBD. \n\nI also can't stress enough how important it is to know how your medicine is grown. We carry only sungrown strains that are cultivated using organic methods free from chemical fertilizers and pesticides (which can wreak havoc on your body's immune and hormone response).\n\nherbabuena","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10828-markdown","title":"How does Girl Scout Cookies differ from OG Kush?","slug":"how-does-girl-scout-cookies-differ-from-og-kush","content":"\"It seems like it has the same THC content. Do these strains really produce different feelings?\"\n_____________________\nBoth of these strains are hybrids. Their cannabinoid profiles are somewhat similar. It appears from testing profiles that OG Kush may express a slightly higher Myrcene and CBN concentration than Girl Scout Cookies. This may make the OG Kush slightly more sedating or relaxing. Having said that, individuals respond to strains with personal variability. \n\nI recommend to my patients that they try a strain for a few days and keep notes on the effects so they can compare to other strain types.\n\ndrgerhart\n_____________________\nGirl Scout Cookies is a hybrid of OG Kush (an indica dominant strain) and Durban Poison (a sativa dominant strain). While the THC content may be similar, the addition of sativa to the mix makes Girl Scout Cookies more of a balanced high rather than a body high you'd get from OG Kush. \n\nPeople report strong euphoria and physical relaxation from OG Kush. Whereas Durban Poison is known as a more cerebral, energizing high that will combat fatigue. A hybrid of the two, Girl Scout Cookies will give both the cerebral psychoactive trip some describe as a mind-warp, while also providing a calming body feelings and euphoria.\n\nandrea13\n_____________________\nGirl Scout Cookies tends to create more of a fuzzy headed feeling with heavy body sedation, while the terpene profile that OGs typically have will trigger more mental stimulation with body relaxation.\n\n3tokes","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10826-markdown","title":"I have a lot of chronic pain and have had multiple back surgeries. Is OG Kush a good strain for me? ","slug":"i-have-a-lot-of-chronic-pain-and-have-had-multiple-back-surgeries-is-og-kush-a-good-strain-for-me","content":"\"I am not new to smoking but used to grow my own. I’m trying to find the right bud for my pain now and would like some input on this strain. \"\n_____________________\nIt is difficult to recommend specific strains as each person has a very individual reaction to each strain. Additionally, if you used concentrates or edibles of a specific strain the reaction may be different as well. \n\nOG Kush is a very popular strain that grows well in Southern California. It is considered a Hybrid, but its exact genetics are poorly described. Current lab profiles show a high THC content between 20-25% and a very low CBD content (less than 1%). It has several terpenes that exceed the CBD content and are pain relieving  (Linalool and Myrcene). Myrcene also sedates and reliefs muscle spasms.\n\nIt would be a reasonable choice for back pain relief. Note the concentration of THC and start with lower doses if you are new to cannabis.\n\ndrgerhart\n_____________________\nOG Kush is a high THC strain known to produce strong euphoric feelings. People report that the high comes on quickly and in a strong way. Some say it's like a burst of energy, other say it's like a wave calm. It's a predominantly indica strain, which should give you more of a body high and therefore should ease physical pain. However, it's likely best for night time or any time that you don't have much to do as many report it being a strong strain that makes them want to relax after smoking. It may also alleviate physical pain while you're falling asleep and help produce a restful slumber.\n\nandrea13\n_____________________\nMy approach to treating a condition such as yours is to separate out the acute pain your feel vs. the chronic condition (inflammation, chronic pain, and whatever direct issues triggered the surgeries). \n\nSmoking or vaping is good for immediate (acute) pain relief. The bio-availability is approx. 4-6 hours and you will hopefully feel some relief. You are getting about 3-5 mg. of THC via the mode of administration.  In my experience, you also should be on a tincture ( If you are smoking a lot then make it a high CBD) or edible product as well. The bio availability is longer and can work overtime and you are also consuming other cannabinoids (Delta 11 THC and, as mentioned, CBD). The edible, because it lasts longer, will also help you sleep better, allowing you to heal (I'm assuming your sleep is also disrupted because of the pain. \n\nTopicals can also work when applied directly to the injured area and don't have a psycho active effect. \n\nAlso, remember that a number of the effects of, say, OG Kush, come from the terpenes that are present (OG Kush has a high myrcene level, for example) in the bud. Best of luck and let us know if this information helps.\n\ndneice\n_____________________\nOG Kush is a great strain and there are some great answers here. I do not have much to add, but your back pain could also be helped by introducing a CBD strain, like ACDC, into the mix. A lot of back pain can be caused by inflammation, which will be helped by the CBD in the ACDC. I know a lot of users feel they need to inhale/ingest their cannabis, but do not discount topicals for your back!\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10789-markdown","title":"Does OG Kush help with depression?","slug":"does-og-kush-help-with-depression","content":"\"I’ve gone through a rough patch and want a strian that’s good for depression but won’t have me lying on the floor. Is this a good flower for me?\"\n_____________________\nIf your depression is due to stress, you likely will obtain the desired results but if your depression is actually due to vitamin D deficiency, it won't help the cause but it will treat the symptom. This only kicks the can down the road to short while because vitamin D deficiency has potentially devastating consequences if it's ignored. Make sure you maintain your vitamin D3 blood level above 50 ng/mL for optimal health benefits and if you still have depression, enjoy your OG Kush because you likely will experience improvement in your mood.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10781-markdown","title":"Why is OG Kush so popular?","slug":"why-is-og-kush-so-popular","content":"\"I notice that OG Kush seems to be in a lot of dispensaries. Why is this? \"\n_____________________\nThere may be a few reasons for this. OG Kush genes may be found in many west coast strains, and depending on the environment may be expressed in different ways (phenotypes). OG Kush has many different phenotypes including Tahoe OG, Alpha OG, and SFV OG.\n\nThe therapeutic effects of this indica strain have been described as relaxing while being euphoric, and OG Kush has been used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, ADHD, and migraine headaches.\n\ndredmunds\n_____________________\nOG Kush is a classic West Coast strain famous for its potency and flavor. Its plant produces dense, sticky buds that people have been enjoying since the mid-90s.\n\nOG Kush a high THC strain, predominantly indica, which produces a strong psychoactive effect - most people report happy, euphoric feelings that come on quickly and dominate your senses. It also has a fresh, pungent, citrus aroma that is pleasing to most people. \n\nDue to its potency, it rose in popularity amongst celebrities and singers and has been mentioned in numerous cultural references, thereby boosting its profile. It's currently one of the more sought after strains, and is therefore a favorite amongst growers and a staple in dispensaries.\n\nandrea13","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10776-markdown","title":"I have a lot of stress and anxiety and wonder if OG Kush may be a good strain to try for this?","slug":"i-have-a-lot-of-stress-and-anxiety-and-wonder-if-og-kush-may-be-a-good-strain-to-try-for-this","content":"\"I used to smoke marijuana years ago and always liked it. Lately, I have thought it might be good to try it again as some friends tell me they use it to reduce stress. Is OG Kush considered a good strain for stress and anxiety? \"\n_____________________\nIf you have never tried OG Kush, I would caution you, starting with that one. To start, I think it's wise to take CBD cannabis to calm the stress and anxiety and to keep the CBD levels steady, then you can add OG Kush. Since OG Kush is high in THC and low in CBD, your stress may improve but you could be vulnerable to anxiety. You do not want to do a high dose of CBD close to the time you take your OG Kush or you will end up with high CBD, with high THC, potentially making you go to sleep.\nOG Kush does not have a lot of negative effects, mostly it is uplifting, relaxing and can even make you happy but consider having some drops of CBD cannabis on hand so if you experience anxiety put one or two drops CBD tincture under your tongue for calming. \nIf your body is cannabis friendly, you could just try the OG Kush as long as you have drops of CBD available for buffering. \nGood luck in your experiment and remember any bad experience will wear off in a couple hours. Once you know how your body responds to CBD as well as THC, you will be in control.\n\ndrolson\n_____________________\nIf you're taking up cannabis again after a long break, my first advice would be to start slow no matter which strain you try - just one hit, then see how you feel. Strains vary greatly in strength and amounts of THC and CBD - figuring out what works with your body and mind is an experiment, so take note of the type of cannabis you try, how much you smoked, and the results. \n\nOG Kush is a high THC strain known to produce euphoric feelings and is reported to reduce stress, anxiety, and help with depression. People report feelings of happiness and calm and say it produces a strong high that comes on quickly - like a rush of energy. It's a predominantly indica strain, which should give you more of a body high and may be better for night time or any time that you don't have much to do.  \n\nIf you'd like to treat anxiety with a strain that produces a more mellow psychoactive effect, I suggest something with high CBD. \n\nWhichever you choose, starting with a small dose is the key to a good experience. CBD counteracts the psychoactive effects of THC, so keep a CBD tincture on hand in case anxiety arises, and enjoy your experimentation!\n\nandrea13","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":0,"numPages":1,"currentPage":1,"id":5581,"name":"Og Kush","slug":"og-kush","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
