Alien OG

Alien OG Sativa weed strain. Alien OG is an out-of-this-world strain with a reputation all its own. This Sativa-leaning hybrid is crossed by Tahoe OG Kush and India Alien Kush. Alien OG offers a soaring psychedelic high with equal cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. Alien OG’s THC content can range from 20% to as much as 28%.

The Buds of Alien OG appear light green and are offset by orange to vibrant red pistils. As evidenced by their high THC content, flowers of Alien OG are resinous and covered in trichomes that make them appear moist and frosty. This strain has a surprisingly sweet, citrus-like smell, with notes of lemon wafting from the cured buds. There are also more subtle notes of earth and fresh pine. When combusted, flowers give off a more spicy, hashy scent typical of the OG family. The smoke is lung-expanding but very smooth. Smokers may taste hashy incense and a faint tang of ammonia on the exhale.

The high from Alien OG comes on quickly as a bracing pressure behind the eyes. A sudden change in cognition accompanies this head rush as thoughts race in the rapid-fire association. The intensity of this cerebral effect is often determined by the user’s set and setting or by their tolerance. In cases where a smoker can comfortably settle into Alien OG’s altered state, the high can take on psychedelic proportions: visual distortions like enhanced colors or peripheral flashes can happen, as can the trippy sensation of time moving more slowly. Physical relaxation sets in as the high progress or users consume more significant amounts. This strain can be as energetic or relaxing as smokers intend — as quickly enjoyed out among friends as it is vegging out alone. Alien OG’s well-rounded high also lends itself to several medical applications. Its euphoria can boost those struggling with depression, while its ever-present cerebral nature can be grounding and mindful for those with stress, anxiety, or PTSD. While not immobilizing, its palpable body stone can help relieve chronic aches, pains, and nausea. In high enough doses, Alien OG can even be an effective means of banishing insomnia and lulling users into a deep, refreshing sleep.
