Shotgun OG
Also known as: Shotgun, Shotgun OG Kush
Shotgun OG Strain Overview
Shotgun OG is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing the classic Alien Kush and Tahoe OG strains. This strain has gained recognition for its immediate and powerful effects, delivering what users describe as a 'blast to the face' almost immediately upon consumption. The strain is characterized by its fat, oversized pepper-shaped emerald-green buds adorned with thin orange hairs and a coating of tiny, blue-tinted white crystal trichomes. Despite being indica-dominant, Shotgun OG produces a unique combination of cerebral stimulation and physical sedation that sets it apart from typical indica effects.
Shotgun OG's appeal lies in its dual-phase high that begins with an instantaneous happy cerebral buzz affecting the mind while simultaneously delivering heavy physical stone effects to the body. This creates a distinctive experience where users report feeling mentally elevated into blissful, unfocused headiness while becoming physically sedated and experiencing what's commonly referred to as 'couch lock.' The strain's high potency, ranging from 20-25% THC, makes it particularly suitable for experienced cannabis consumers seeking powerful effects for evening use or periods when productivity is not required.
