    Worth keeping for the right night

    Tried this on a Friday-evening dinner that was supposed to last an hour and went three. Earthy on the palate didn't hurt. Not the strain I'd reach for first, but the one I'd reach for when the night called for it. Picked up at a licensed New York retailer; OCM QR-code verified. 21+, as always.

    Earthy forward, with pine on the exhale

    On the first inhale, the earthy comes through clearly — not perfumed, just present. Pine layers in on the exhale, and the woody stays around longer than I expected. The hybrid structure reads honestly: nothing showy, just balanced. OG Kush earns its name in the catalog. Adults 21+ only.

    Settles in like the catalog says it does

    Settled in for a Friday night that didn't need to go anywhere with this. Reliable for what OG Kush advertises: nothing surprising, which is the compliment. Bought from a licensed dispensary, verified the QR code, kept it adults-only.
