THCa Flower OG Kush

Description:
Experience one of the original mood states of the ‘90s with the legendary hybrid THCa Flower – OG Kush. This highly acclaimed flower releases the mind with sweet, diesel inhales and sends the body into complete relaxation with herbal, skunky exhales. These rich, forest green buds are primarily flavored with Myrcene followed by Limonene and Beta-caryophyllene. This combination is known for its intense cerebral psychoactive effect that leaves many very lethargic.
Each dense bud breaks apart into a rich aroma of diesel, skunk, and earthy goodness. The flowers are coated with purple hues and a thick coat of trichomes. The OG Kush strain is a Hybrid strain cultivated indoors for maximum potency. The strong effects of this strain are used by many to let the day’s stress go right before curling up in front of the TV.
THCa flower must be decarboxylated to enjoy the euphoric effects. Once heated above three hundred degrees, THCa converts into Delta 9 THC. This is why smoking or vaping is the preferred method for many consumers. So, once the OG Kush strain is lit, sit back and relax like one of the original gangsters.
Benefits:
Consumers regularly ask for OG Kush and purchase it in bulk when they find it. This strain is reported to be exceptionally psychoactive with effects that last for quite a while. Many report it to be a very lethargic and relaxing experience. Several therapeutic benefits have been attributed to the use of Delta 9 THC. They include:
Appetite increase
Better mood
Reduction in chronic pain
Reduced anxiety
Neuroprotective properties
Boost in motivation

What is THCa?
THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the biosynthetic precursor to the well-known cannabinoid Delta 9 THC. THCa is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found within the cannabis plant. It differs from other cannabinoids because it has to be heated, or decarboxylated, to be activated. If eaten raw, there will be no psychoactive effects. After THCa converts into Delta 9, it bonds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system to produce euphoria. Delta 9 THC is also known for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), antiemetic (anti-nausea), analgesic (pain relieving), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and neuroprotective properties.
What is THCa flower?
THCa flower is grown for unique mood states and terpene profiles. It is the naturally occurring flower on Sativa, Indica, and hybrid strains. THCa flower is grown both indoors and outdoors. Each THCa flower strain can create a different euphoric mood state for each person. These effects are based on the cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profiles. Some popular THCa strains include the Black Cherry Soda strain, Sex Panther strain, and Tangie strain.
THCa vs THC Flower?
On a molecular level, THCa flower and THC flower differ because of the carboxyl ring around the THCa molecules. It is this acidic ring that keeps THCa from binding to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain. After THCa is heated, the ring falls off and converts into Delta 9 THC.
Testing is another differentiation. THC flower often refers to flower sold by dispensaries in recreational states. This flower is tested using gas chromatography, which requires the raw flower to be heated. This determines the percentage of Delta 9 THC present. Other states use liquid chromatography testing, which does not require heat. Instead, it uses cold water. The potency is registered in the percentage of THCa.
How is THCa flower made?
THCa flower is not made using any manufacturing processes or procedures. It is the naturally occurring flower on the cannabis plant. Research shows that THCa appears early in the growth stages of the plant. During maturation, the sun heats the flower and small amounts of THCa convert into Delta 9 THC. This process occurs on a larger scale when the THCa flower is heated using a flame or other heat source.
What is Sativa?
This cannabis plant was named and classified in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus. He chose the word Sativa because it means “cultivated.” He noted that Sativa strains grow tall and spindly with thinner leaves. They also grow well in warmer climates because of a longer growth cycle than cannabis Indica.
Many people are quick to say that Sativa strains create energizing and intense cerebral effects. This is true for many Sativa strains, but not all. Experts agree that the effects of each strain are determined by the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoid profiles of each one. A person’s physiology is also a factor. This is why two people can smoke or ingest the same cannabis products and have different experiences.
What is Indica?
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed a new species of cannabis called Indica after receiving samples from India in 1785. Lamarck described the Indica plant as one that grows shorter and bushier than Sativa plants with wider leaves. They grow well in colder climates because of their shorter growth cycle.
Almost everyone is quick to say that Indica strains create an intense body buzz and cerebral euphoria. This can be very relaxing and helps reduce anxiety and improve sleep. This may be true for many Indica strains, but it is not true for all of them. The effects are not entirely dependent on genetics.
What is an Indica-Sativa Hybrid?
A Sativa Indica hybrid strain is generally considered to have 50% Indica and 50% Sativa genes. Growers have been selectively crossbreeding strains specifically to harness the relaxing effects of one strain and pair it with the clear-headed high of another. This has given rise to some of the most popular cannabis strains across the country. Many growers maintain a genealogy log to show which strains have been bred, ensuring the origins of strains. However, the ratio can be different. Sub-category strains Indica-dominant and Sativa-dominant are used to refer to these strains.
What is the Difference Between Indica and Sativa Strains?
How and where they grow is the only major difference. Indica strains are shorter bushier plants with wide leaves and grow better in colder climates. Sativa strains are taller and have thinner stalks and leaves. They prefer warmer climates because of a longer growth cycle.
Many consumers believe that all Indica strains have strong relaxing psychoactive effects, and all Sativa strains have uplifting energizing euphoric effects. While these opinions can be true for many people, they are not true for everyone. These effects depend more on the cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profile of each strain than the plant’s genetics. A person’s size and tolerance are other factors that affect the effect.
Which is Stronger Indica or Sativa?
The decision on which is stronger comes down to personal choice. The strength of the effects depends on four factors – cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and a person’s physiology. The designation Indica and Sativa do not affect potency. Depending on the strain and how it was grown potency can vary wildly. Many people have started inquiring about terpenes to gauge how a particular strain will affect them. Some people prefer Myrcene while others enjoy the feel of a stronger Limonene concentration.
What is the OG Kush Strain?
The OG Kush strain, sometimes called Premium OG Kush, has its genetic roots in the early ‘90s. Since then, it has gone on to high acclaim and notoriety. This strain was bred by first crossing Chemdawg and Lemon Thai, then crossing that with Hindu Kush. The result was a beautiful flower that had the aroma of diesel, skunk, and spice with a potency of up to 25%. With such a strong euphoric effect, it only takes one inhale and even seasoned enthusiasts feel the effects. Many report this mood state to be very relaxing with an uplifting feeling. The dominant terpene in the strain is Myrcene followed by Limonene and Beta-caryophyllene. The OG Kush is said to have long-lasting effects that are best-taken advantage of at the end of the day.
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes contribute to the aroma of plants, some animals, and even a few insects. All of these species have multiple terpenes contributing to the smell. Studies have indicated that terpenes contribute to the body’s homeostasis, and work together to boost the benefits of the cannabis plant. There are a dozen prominent terpenes in cannabis, but the three most prevalent are Linalool, Limonene, and Alpha-Pinene.
What is Myrcene?
Myrcene has an earthy, fruity, and clove-like aroma. It is found in hops, mango, lemongrass, and thyme. This delicious terpene is found in the Gold Cash strain, Blue Dream strain, and Granddaddy Purple strain.
What are the Benefits of Myrcene?
Many say that Myrcene is extremely relaxing and can make some sleepy. This has helped reduce stress and anxiety. Research has shown Myrcene also helps reduce inflammation while enhancing sleep.
What is Limonene?
Limonene has a strong citrus aroma and it is found in mint, juniper, and citrus fruits. This delicious terpene is found in the Sex Panther strain, Skywalker strain, and the Mac 1 strain.
What are the Benefits of Limonene?
Many people say they feel intense relaxation after consuming Limonene. Others have said they felt an instant reduction in nausea. Research has shown limonene can help as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
What is Beta-Caryophyllene?
Beta-caryophyllene smells of sweet clove and wood with a hint of pepper. It is found in oregano, basil, and pepper. This terpene is found in the Skywalker strain, Sex Panther strain, and Ice Cream Cookies strain.
What are the Benefits of Beta-Caryophyllene?
Many consumers report an uplifted and talkative mood state that helps them engage in social settings. Studies have shown that beta-caryophyllene can also relieve pain while reducing cholesterol.
What are Flavonoids?
With 6,000 different flavonoids identified, they are polyphenolic compounds that exist throughout the plant kingdom. They serve as secondary metabolites and are the most prevalent nutrients in the plant world. Researchers determined flavonoids play an important role in cell cycle progression and support defense mechanisms by boosting resistance to bacteria, fungi, insects, and UV rays. Flavonoids play an important role in the color, aroma, and taste of plants. A difference in flavonoid profiles can be the reason why two strains have identical terpene profiles, but different aromas and effects.
