how did OG Kush get its name?

[kaotik]

i always liked this story (how true or not it is, who knows )

and this story went something like this.. A guy - we'll call him KushDawg for the sake of this story - living somewhere on the Northern California Pacific Coast was growing the original cut from San Fernando Valley, the birthplace of most herb carrying the "OG" label.
One evening, KushDawg was hanging out at a local bar when another chap also sitting at the bar offered him a bowl of some very special weed. Intrigued, KushDawg accepted the offer. Once the chap opened the bag and the dank, pungent OG aroma lifted into the air, KushDawg knew immediately, unbeknownst to the chap, that this was in fact his own herb.
As they toked the glorious herb, the chap rendered his own opinion as to the origin of the herb, saying that it was so great because it was "Mountain Grown." KushDawg corrected the chap, "Naw man, this stuff is 'Ocean Grown,'" meaning that the herb was actually grown indoors on the Pacific Coast.


if true, i just find it hilarious. "oh this is so great cause it's ____ " .. no, actually it's not, i made that and it's _____ lol

thanx people, ive enjoyed reading peoples view of the name. for those of you who dont care, why bother to post a reply tying up your useless time and energy when you can spend it on something like going back to your grandmothers to learn manners!

Okay, flame off, friend -- why do you care if their opinion is they don't care? Why did you take offense? I believe NCH is probably right -- man those concerts were fun But the first time I ever tried OG Kush it was from east LA and sold by the gangs (crips, bloods, whatever) and it was called OG to stand for Original Gangsta -- Just what my guy told me, and he is pretty connected. Who knows? -- who cares lol
