The Mystery of “OG” Hemp Strains – It is All About the Beginning

Early in the domestic CBD market and currently, consumers wanted the most potent products so they can have the optimal benefits. This is for health and wellness and recreation as well. 

 

The Mystery of “OG” Hemp Strains – OG Kush Origins

The OG Kush hemp strain grows close to the sea by the Bay of California and that is the reason it has the “OG'' in its name. OG stands for “Ocean Grown”. OG Kush is considered a premium CBD hemp flower full of traditional terpene savors that include earthy, pine, gassy and a fruity undertone.  The OG Kush hemp flower strain has a dense bud and always contains less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC so there is no psychoactive high. 

 

 

The Mystery of “OG” Hemp Strains -- Terpene Infusion

We have heard a lot about CBD infusion into drinks, pies, even hamburgers and much more.  CBD is a cannabinoid and by and large we hear more about cannabinoids that we do about terpenes. However, that is about to change because of the rise of the “terpene-infusion” era.  

 

We do know that terpenes add to the savors and the overall experience if using it for recreation primarily.  But now we know that terpenes also play an important part in the health benefits we talk so much about when discussing hemp flowers. Their influence has risen to the level of some manufacturers infusing their CBD tincture with terpenes. 

 

The Mystery of “OG” Hemp Strains -- What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes, sometimes called terpenoids, are volatile aromatic compounds which contribute largely to the plant's aroma, but they also produce a range of effects on the human body.

 

The Mystery of “OG” Hemp Strains -- Terpenes in OG Kush

Because OG Kush is one of the most popular and well-known strains of all time, some CBD brands are now using the OG Kush terpene profile to give their product a boost of savors and health benefits.

 

OG Kush has a very distinct aroma and taste, described by most as earthy and woody with hints of pine. This flavor allows it to align well with CBD oil, which retains the earthy taste of hemp - especially if the manufacturer used hemp seed oil as the carrier.

 

Here are the main terpenes in OG Kush:

• Caryophyllene -- This spicy, woody terpene is similar to black pepper and cloves and health wise it is anti-fungal and an anti-inflammatory, meaning it can reduce pains for toothaches.

• Limonene – This citrusy terpene is used in supplements as it promotes mental clarity, energy, and focus. Health wise it is an anti-bacterial.

• Myrcene -- Myrcene is It is known for producing a hops-like aroma and holistically it is considered a sedative as well as an analgesic..

• Linalool – It has a floral scent, found predominantly in lavender so is a sedative as well and why it is often used in.

• Pinene -- This terpene has the aroma of pine as well as rosemary, basil, and dill. Health wise it is considered to have antiseptic properties, as well as proficient in opening up the airways and reducing inflammation.
