Yo, fam! Get them grinders and bongs ready ’cause we ’bout to dive into a dope list of the illest OG Kush strains out there, ya feel me? We takin’ it back to the real roots, reminiscin’ on how this fire herb changed the game forever. Way back in the mid-’90s, some super-dank, potent weed rolled outta Florida to Hollywood, kinda like a weed superhero, ya dig? Shoutout to Matt ‘Bubba’ Berger and Josh Del Rosso for bringin’ the heat.

Del Rosso shared with Leafly, “Back then, we just called it ‘Kush’ before we tossed that ‘OG’ in there around ’98-’’99. This was the loudest, stinkiest stuff to ever hit the scene, no cap. That lemony, skunky gas filled up every crib and whip we rolled through.” Now look at us—hundreds of strains out here all claimin’ they kin to OG Kush. Breeders be experimentin’, mixin’ it up, createin’ strains that’ll either take you to the skies or knock you out cold.
