BTY OG, which stands for Better Than Yours OG, is a heavy hitter in terms of THC levels but a light touch in terms of flavor. This makes it an interesting choice for novice users who want to go intense right away, and for experienced users who want to take it easy on their palette while still enjoying a powerful strain. This new Washington favorite pairs perfectly with relaxing and taking it easy while encouraging feelings of calm with an earthy flavor and a pleasant feel. Continue reading to learn what you can expect from this strain and whether it really is “BTY.”

The BTY OG plant has tan-green nugs that are long and tapered at the ends, with gold-colored crystal trichomes and fiery pistils to match. In no time, the strain acquires a coat of sticky resin that gives it a luxurious sheen. The strain is 100% Indica with an unknown lineage that includes OG Kush and two other strains. As a result of its hazy heritage, there are a lot of BTY phenotypes out there, some claiming to have genetics from Tahoe OG, Alpha OG, and more. The strain’s THC levels are sitting pretty in the upper 20s.

The flavors of the BTY strain are a mix of lemons, nuts, and herbal tastes that result in an earthy explosion in your mouth. As you smoke, you’ll be able to detect hints of other spices and even a dash of mint. Lovers of citrus-earth and haters of funk can unite around this strain, which combines Pinene, Myrcene, and Caryophyllene for a cocktail of herbs and spices (and hints of fruit) fit for users of any experience level.

The high begins as a creeping, tingling mental high that gives you a boost of energy and a sense of euphoria. This progresses to a sedating, hunger-inducing body high that can take the edge off a weary week. Users with chronic muscle spasms and systemic pain conditions will appreciate how BTY OG settles into your body with feelings of alleviation. As they exhale mint, earth, and citrus, stress, nausea, and depression go out with them.

We recommend this strain closer to the evening hours since it can be a little sedating. The calming presence of BTY OG pairs perfectly with knitting and crocheting, sleeping, enjoying a spa day, relaxing with a good movie or book, or taking a nap. So long as you’re prepared to do nothing, BTY OG can cover your mental tracks with its calming presence.
