That’s when Josh D knew the OG hype was hitting the gas. I just wanted to show people that they could fucking make a living doing something as cool as growing OG.”

“I always had like a fucking regular job, but I just, I mean, I don’t even know if you want to write about that, but it’s true, man. “I was devoted to rebelling against the system and working for the man,” Del Rosso said. He argued he was basically in the right place at the right time with the will to devote himself to growing indoors in the high-stakes urban jungle of Los Angeles. “I just wanted to show people that they could fucking make a living doing something as cool as growing OG.” -Josh Dīerger had the experience growing indoors and helped Del Rosso wrap his head around it. “’Dialed-in’ was a broad term back then,” he said, laughing.ĭel Rosso said he grew the first OGs humbly, under a 1,000-watt light that he found in the back of a magazine and a 430-watt light he scored off a friend. We asked Del Rosso how happy he was in that moment up north to know he had OG Kush growing perfectly i.e. It was for sure the first time OG Kush had made it to Northern California, but, thankfully for those who had it at that point, not all the way north to the US’s cannabis heartland in Humboldt County. (Courtesy Josh D)ĭel Rosso gave OG Kush to Ian. “And it was like then people were coming up to me hugging me, like, ‘Bro, this is the best weed I’ve ever smoked in my fucking life.’” History made: A small, crowded, 1996 Silverlake, CA OG Kush grow by Josh D. “We got like 10s in all the categories, like literally laid out one of the judges,” Del Rosso told Leafly. Del Rosso traveled up with his Northern Lights #5 x Hawaiian, and his second harvest of OG Kush ever. When the two started growing clones of OG Kush based on that surviving cutting, the lime-green, medium-sized, dense, iridescent buds proved flavorful and potent.īut as for getting the word out about OG beyond Los Angeles, it all started with a trip Del Rosso took north to visit his friend “Ian.” Ian was connected in the Bay Area scene that was having a small weed contest in 1997. This August marks 25 years since the duo used that surviving cutting to start writing OG’s chapter in the history books. Of the five, tiny OG plants (cuttings, or “cuts” for short) that traveled west, only one survived, Josh recalled. More famously known as “Josh D,” Del Rosso is widely credited with preserving the OG lineage, after Berger made his Florida run.

In addition, dispensaries carry a variety of other cannabis products such as prefilled vape cartridges, concentrates such as waxes and oils, as well as a multitude of other cannabis products like lotions and tinctures.Back then, remote northern parts of Florida (“the triangle”) had growers as skilled as the best of California. The flowers will range from sativa to hybrids of all sorts to indicas, and depending on state, test results letting you know the percentages of THC, cannabinoids and terpenoids as well as ensuring the quality of the flowers. Most dispensaries carry a variety of different kinds of flowers and buds. Now, there are thousands of cannabis dispensaries, and more on the way as laws in the United States change towards legalizing medical and recreational cannabis. The first dispensary was opened in California, and since then, the nation has been progressing towards cannabis reform. Since the early 1990's, cannabis dispensaries have existed in the United States. A cannabis dispensary is a retail store which sells cannabis products and accessories.
