This popular, potent medical choice is an indica-dominant cross of Purple Kush and Cali OG Kush, both widely loved strains. The exact balance of sativa to indica in this strain isn’t widely known, but it leans heavily in favor of the indica genes. Though Purple OG Kush is said to be extremely strong, available THC numbers don’t entirely back that claim, as they top out at around 26-28%. That’s powerful, to be sure, but not quite top shelf. CBD numbers, meanwhile, are well below 1%, marking this strain as a poor choice for treating seizures or other maladies that respond to that substance. But Purple OG Kush can be used effectively as treatment for chronic pain, lack of appetite, insomnia, depression, and stress. The high, mostly physical, is deeply relaxing, spacey, and sleepy, with a pleasing body buzz. A sweet aroma of berries and musk pairs well with the fruity, Kush-like flavor of this strain. Expect dry mouth and dry eyes; other adverse effects include headaches, dizziness, and paranoia. Purple OG Kush is popular throughout the American West, from New Mexico to British Columbia, and can be found at many medical marijuana dispensaries. It also appears on the black market.

Arguably, one of the best strains I’ve ever smoked. This strain is extremely relaxing, and it takes your headaches away as soon as the high begins. Highly recommend to migraine sufferers.

You see the GOOD in the world instead of the BAD. Having PTSD from past trama, at times I get powerful flashbacks. But that doesn’t really matter now. I’m at peace with it. I feel a bit tired but still alert.

Delicious, euphoric and calming. My favourite strain yet.

This strain is comforting. I deal with a lot of PTSD and anxiety and Purple OG has been my go to strain for the last few months. It’s slightly energizing but also relaxing. 10/10 would recommend

A friend gave me a few nugs a few days ago and I am in love. This is a great daytime strain. It elevates my mood, keeps some of those depressive thoughts away,and actually gets me ready to workout.

It’s an evenly balanced head and body buzz, which leans more to relaxation after its initial onset
