Ok so here's my thoughts about the Og Kush. It has a predominent earthy sweet smell, this was basically the same predominent aroma I found in Bruce Banner from an amsterdam coffeeshop, and also in the amnesia haze, but each of them has their own distinct smell when you smell deeper. When I grinded the buds it smelled more mango, a bit sour with sweet. I checked a lot of website about cannabis smell, cuz I didn't get the earthy smell, which was apprently in almost every hybrid strains, so Now I get it. Anyway I expected the mango flavor but it turned out to be more earthy and woody. The high is very great, as many websites said, it started with a head rush (softer than I initially thought, like compared to the amnesia Haze, it was less aggressive) then you get stoned, with a nice visual distortion and happy thoughts. I'm not stuck in the couch, it makes me feel motivated but sedated at the same time, like think about of rock doing the dishes. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you guys had another experience with the og, feel free to tell me.
