I won’t blame you if you have just a hazy interpretation of what the word “OG” means if you’ve seen it in online media or social feeds. The majority of the time, it seems to be an internet slang word that may refer to anything. According to the top meaning in the Urban Dictionary, it used to mean “original gangster” but is now used as a shorthand for “original.” A fast search for #OG on Twitter yielded a slew of results.

What the heck does OG stand for, anyway?

The short answer is that it means different things to different people. OG are two letters you’ll see in front of a lot of strains that feature the parent strain, OG Kush, in cannabis culture. Hot new strains come and go at the current frenetic rate of strain breeding, but OG Kush has retained its undeniable popularity.

The epic potency of this sativa-leaning hybrid is best known, with THC percentages ranging 20-25 percent. Some OG Kush users experience long-lasting symptoms that are felt more in the head than in the body, with sound and colour amplified. This cheerful, giggly, and comfortable strain is outstandingly social, with an earthy, berry, or citrusy flavour. It’s no surprise that strain breeders are searching for it.

OG Origin Story

Let’s look at the cannabis culture nomenclature of this wildly famous strain now that we know what to expect from it. There are a number of hypotheses. Some speculate that it’s an acronym for “ocean grown,” “original gangster,” or a shortened version of “original.”

To grasp what OG means, you must first be acquainted with the names of two cannabis pioneers who met and became friends in Los Angeles in the early 1990s: Josh Del Rosso aka Josh D, Founder and Managing Director of Josh D Farms, and Matt “Bubba” Berger, who currently works as a consultant and dispensary owner in Denver’s legal cannabis industry.

Berger says that he created the strain in Florida in 1992 from a random bag of flower he obtained from a neighbour. Another friend was so taken with the strain’s frosty colas that he said the buds reminded him of “kushberries,” which he shortened to “kush.” Berger returned to Los Angeles in 1996 with his kush seeds, and he and Del Rosso planted Kush, Bubba (another Berger strain), and Purple Indica.

Demand soared after news of Del Rosso and Berger’s Kush strain spread, hitting $8,000 per pound in the late 1990s — around $13,400 in today’s dollars. However, with popularity came imitators hoping to benefit from the Kush craze. To differentiate their initial Kush from the rest, Del Rosso and Berger added “OG” to it, which stands for “original.”

OG Kush was a big success with buyers in the 1990s, due to its connection with hip hop culture in Los Angeles. It was said to be a favourite of Snoop Dogg, the mega star weed celebrity, and rapper B-Real of the West Coast hip-hop group Cypress Hill (who later released an album titled Greatest Hits from the Bong in 2005).

OG in Pop Culture

So, how did the word “original” become popular in pop culture? That’s a long and winding path that started with the Crips, a Los Angeles-based gang in the early 1970s. It used to be an all-encompassing term that stood for “original gangster” and literally meant that they were the first, such as “OG Eastside Crip.”

The word developed and matured over time, and it could now be used to denote anyone who was intensely loyal to the gang. Younger gang members used the phrase as a token of respect when referring to the older gang members.

The word OG started to change from gang culture to rap music and videos when hip-hop and rap music became more popular in the 1980s, when artists referred to especially badass elements of gang culture as OG.

Ice-T, a rapper and singer, is credited with popularising the term with his album and single of the same name, “O.G. Original Gangster,” which peaked at #7 on the Billboard rap chart in 1991. It’s likely that this is what Del Rosso and Berger were motivated by, but it’s difficult to tell for sure.

The word gradually made its way into popular culture and started to take on new meanings. Today, it’s used to describe something or someone who possesses outstanding abilities, exemplifies a particular quality, or is the first of its kind.

Where Can you Find OG Kush?

OG Kush has been around since the early 1990s, but its effect on cannabis is huge, continuing, and shows no signs of slowing down. It’s almost always on the menu at clinics and delivery services. OG Kush is widely used in active cross breedings that have propagated several well-known strains, and it is known as a building block strain because of its excellent genetics, potency, taste, and aroma.

GSC is a relatively new strain that has a huge influence on cannabis culture — just as OG Kush did in its early days. Rapper Berner started the Cookies company after GSC exploded in California dispensaries. Today, GSC hybrids can be found all over the world.

This indica-dominant powerhouse is a cross between OG Kush and Northern Lights. It was a complete accident by Berger whose strains cross-pollinated in his garden and bore Bubba Kush.
