OG is a term widely used in the cannabis community to refer to strains of cannabis that have origins or lineage tracing back to the popular strain “OG Kush.” OG Kush originated in Southern California and is one of the most popular cultivars worldwide. There has been some controversy about what OG means or where the term originated from, although most cannabis experts feel it started with the term “ocean grownâ€, since the strain was cultivated on the Pacific Coast, as opposed to some other theories that it stands for “original gangsta.†Since OG Kush was first grown in Southern California, the first theory seems to make better sense. Most users don’t care much about the origination of the name or what it means, but they do know that OG Kush means high-quality, potent weed.
