OG Kush from Bliss Pharma: one source of profile and unresolved lineage

• Who supplies. Exclusively Bliss Pharma, so there is nothing to compare versions, and a supply break means no availability of this strain, not another version of it.
• Profile. It leads with pinen, alongside mircen. We do not provide percentage shares because sources count them against different totals.
• Origin. Lineage is unknown. This is a result, not a gap to fill: we do not add parents based on name similarity.
• What is missing. The profile describes one source, so there is nothing to compare it with.

Where does OG Kush come from and can its lineage be established?

It cannot. In the lineage graph of this compilation, the row for OG Kush has a value of unknown and an empty source field, so the parents of this strain remain unresolved. The same record applies to twenty-five out of eighty-five cultivars available in Polish pharmacies, so it is not an exception.

An unknown record does not mean that no work has been done. It means that available descriptions either remain silent about the parents or provide versions that cannot be reconciled, and the project does not then enter anything. A lineage added by intuition creates a connection in the graph that does not actually exist, and then that connection returns as a reference between two texts and looks like an establishment.

The databases describing the Polish market do not even agree on the type of plant. One lists this position as a hybrid, the other as a hybrid with indica dominance. With a lineage that no one has established, this discrepancy cannot be resolved because there is no record of parents to refer to.

Rows with established origins carry in the same file the source address: the breeder’s page or a strain database that could be verified. The row for OG Kush has this field empty, and this is information in itself. There is nothing to verify because no one indicated where this knowledge would come from.

Which producers supply OG Kush to Polish pharmacies?

One. In the pharmacy list on which this cluster stands, OG Kush appears exclusively under Bliss Pharma and in one commercial position. In comparison, the most widely supplied strains from the same list have several producers at once, which with one position means no alternative version.

The registered name is provided here without the numerical part, although in both databases it contains this part. The number entered in the trade name repeats the content declared by the producer, and the declaration has an allowable deviation in both directions. Transcribed from the packaging as a point, it looks like a measurement, which it is not, so we leave just the name.

The profile composition describes for this strain one source, budcare.pl, and lists mircen and pinen. The second database leads the same position, but does not fill the terpene fields at all, so comparing two independent descriptions is not feasible here. Regarding genetics, both comment, and then it turns out they say different things.

One supplier and one position have measurable consequences for the patient: in case of a supply break, there is no same strain available in the pharmacy from someone else. The state of supplies changes faster than the description of the plant, as it depends on permits, batch expiration dates, and the importer’s decisions, which is why the current assortment collects a list of available strains, not this page. Bliss Pharma supplies another strain to Polish pharmacies, Strawberry OG, and that concludes its presence in this list.

What does OG Kush smell and taste like?

• mircen mircen
• pinen pinen (leading in the pharmacy list)

Citrusy and resinous. The only public description of the aroma of this position mentions citrus, spicy, fuel, and pine notes, and that is all that can be said about the smell without guessing. The description comes from the strain database, not from a sensory analysis of a batch, so it is a report, not a laboratory measurement.

The note about the aroma has a weaker status in this material than the terpene composition. Terpenes are listed from documentation, while the scent note is named by someone, so two people with the same jar will provide two descriptions, and both will be honest. Therefore, we quote what is in the database and do not add our own impressions to it.

The smell is also not constant over time. The dried material releases volatile components with each opening of the package, and along with them, what is felt changes. The pharmacy position remains in circulation for weeks, between production and opening by the patient, and no sensory description accounts for such a journey.

The taste of vapor is yet another thing than the smell of the dried material. When vaporizing, only what evaporated at a given setting is perceived, not the entire content of the jar, so the same plant material tastes different at a lower temperature than at a higher one.

How long does it take for OG Kush to take effect and how long do the effects last?

Depending on the route of administration, not the strain. With vaporization, the first sensations come within a few minutes, while after ingestion, only after several dozen. For OG Kush itself, no one has measured this, so the ranges below describe the method of administering the raw material, not this specific pharmacy position.

The route of administration determines the course more than the strain itself, and the ranges below describe just that, not this cultivar, as pharmacokinetic studies for a single cultivar have not been published.

The producer of this position does not announce its own time characteristics, and since the strain is available in pharmacies in one variant, there is not even a second series from the same supplier to compare its own course. Therefore, the assessment remains with the route of administration and with observation conducted together with the prescribing physician.

What is known about the effects of OG Kush, and what remains unconfirmed?

Not much and not about the strain itself. The studies we have concern individual terpenes, not this pharmacy position. Pinen, which stands highest in the OG Kush profile, has been studied so far in mice and in cell culture. Everything else is either a producer’s description or a report from a single patient, not a research result.

The model determines everything here. A mouse with pure terpene administered to the stomach and cells responding in a dish to an inflammatory stimulus is not a patient inhaling vapor from dried material, in which the same component constitutes a fraction of the profile. No anxiolytic or analgesic effects of pinen have been demonstrated in humans; available data only concern its effect on sleep in mice after oral administration and its anti-inflammatory action on mouse macrophages in culture.

On the side of the strain itself, there remains one word from the catalog. The database describing this position adds possible relaxing effects and does not indicate where this qualification comes from or what it is based on. This is a catalog label, not a measurement result, and we treat it as such.

What side effects have been reported after OG Kush?

None that could be attributed to this name. Safety monitoring is conducted in Poland for a specific production batch, and OG Kush has one position in pharmacies and no published summary of reports. The following description therefore concerns hemp flower in general, not this one position.

Reports of side effects are collected for a medicinal product with a batch number, not for a strain name, so the following concerns hemp flower as a group of raw materials. The most frequently reported symptoms are dry mouth, red eyes, and increased heart rate. Dizziness upon rapid standing, daytime drowsiness, and temporary worsening of short-term memory, as well as anxiety increasing with dosage, are less frequently described. A separate issue is medications taken concurrently, especially sedatives and those affecting coagulation: their assessment requires knowledge of the entire list of preparations, not just the description of the plant. We do not provide the frequency of these symptoms numerically because public summaries for hemp flower in Poland do not separate them by individual products.

The batch number from the packaging is the only identifier that means anything in this circulation. The trade name does not appear in the report form, so even if all reports concerned this position, no public summary would show it separately.

At what temperature is OG Kush vaporized?

There is no single correct value. Alpha-pinen, which stands highest in the profile of this strain, boils at atmospheric pressure at 156.2 degrees Celsius, while mircen at 166.8. However, the vaporizer setting is not the same as the boiling temperature of a pure compound, and tables circulating online confuse these two things.

The boiling temperature describes a pure substance in a vessel, not vapor leaving the chamber of the device. In the chamber lies ground plant material with its own thermal conductivity, the sensor usually measures in a different place than where evaporation occurs, and individual components are released gradually, not suddenly upon crossing a threshold.

Source records are also not a single measurement. For alpha-pinen, databases of physicochemical properties provide both 155 degrees and a value converted from a record in Fahrenheit, and some measurements for other terpenes were made under reduced pressure, where the numbers come out significantly lower. Comparing tables from different sites without checking the pressure leads nowhere.

From the profile of this strain, it follows only that both components mentioned in it evaporate close to each other, within about ten degrees. How to translate this into equipment settings is described in a separate text about vaporizing terpenes.

Which strains from Polish pharmacies are related to OG Kush?

None in a way that could be proven. Siblings are derived from common parents, and the row for OG Kush in the lineage graph has none, so the field for related strains remains empty. The name does return in the lineages of other cultivars, and that is a separate matter.

It returns more often than any other: as a parent, it is mentioned by four positions from this compilation, which is as many as Wedding Cake and more than any other name in this graph. These are Cataract Kush, Chemango Kush, Galaxy Walker OG, and Girl Scout Cookies.

However, these are descendants, not siblings, and even that bond is weaker than it appears. The parent entry simply reads og kush and indicates the name of the family, not a plant with established lineage, as such a plant would correspond to a row with filled parents. The next two positions, King Sherb and Original Gangster Deluxe, mention another name from this circle, og kush breath, which does not even have its own row in the graph. Girl Scout Cookies itself is sometimes a parent of three further positions, so the name reaches one generation deeper, but each such step is a record in the source, not confirmed lineage.

This is best illustrated by the second strain from the same producer. Strawberry OG has parents recorded along with the breeder’s address, and they are Bruce Banner #3 and SFV OG IBL. The OG part stands in both of these names, and yet neither leads to the row for OG Kush. An empty list of related strains is therefore a result, not a gap to fill.

Frequently Asked Questions about OG Kush

Is OG Kush from a Polish pharmacy the same plant as OG Kush from foreign strain databases?

There is no way to confirm this. The trade name is not protected or registered like an agricultural strain, and the lineage row for this position remains empty, so the comparison comes down to juxtaposing two descriptions, not two genotypes.

Why is the THC content not provided in this text?

Because available records provide one number without the producer’s tolerance. The declared content has an allowable deviation in both directions, so transcribed as a point, it pretends to be precision that does not exist. Since the source does not provide a range, we do not provide this value at all.

How many producers supply OG Kush to Polish pharmacies?

One, Bliss Pharma, in one commercial position. The same supplier also supplies Strawberry OG in Polish pharmacies, and that concludes its presence in this compilation.

Does pinen induce sleep?

In mice, after oral administration, it shortened sleep latency and prolonged NREM sleep time. This has not been tested in humans, and inhaling vapor from dried material is a different route of administration and a different concentration than in that experiment.

Is OG Kush related to Galaxy Walker OG?

In the lineage graph, Galaxy Walker OG lists og kush among its parents, so it would be more of a descendant than a related strain. Since the row for OG Kush itself has no recorded parents, this line cannot be closed in either direction.

Is hemp flower from the online store the same product as OG Kush from the pharmacy?

No. The pharmacy position is a pharmaceutical raw material dispensed by prescription, while store-bought hemp flower has a different legal status and documentation. The same strain name on the packaging does not equate these two things.

Is OG Kush available without a prescription?

No. Hemp flower is a pharmaceutical raw material dispensed by a doctor’s prescription in category Rpw, so it is not available over the counter in pharmacies.

Hemp flower is a pharmaceutical raw material dispensed by a doctor’s prescription in category Rpw. The material is for informational purposes and does not replace consultation with the attending physician. Editorial text: editorial team ubucha.pl.
