Illuminati OG, as the name would suggest, is a mysterious hybrid strain of cannabis that is Indica-dominant. The first Illuminati OG plant was reportedly a cut that came directly from Josh D’s 1996 Club 33 OG plant. However, the genetic parentage and the identity of the first person to cultivate this beast of a plant has been lost to the sands of time. Illuminati OG is an incredibly popular strain, as it has been used in a significant number of cross attempts that result in brand new strains on the West Coast of the US. However, finding a bit of the bud itself is hard, as the flower has become increasingly rare in the last few years.

Unlike the real Illuminati, that’s about where the mystery stops. Both the physical characteristics of the strain and the effects it provides have been well documented. These buds are often quite dense, often feeling rock-like to the touch. They are a variety of green hues, but the most prominent are olive and forest-green accented with bright orange hairs. A number of off-white and translucent trichomes coat the surface of this flower. When you break these bad boys down, they let out a rich aroma that contains pine, earth, and sweet herbs. The flavor is quite similar with a bit of a fresh pine aftertaste and a spicy kick on the exhale.

Do you remember when you first saw the conspiracy theories surrounding the Illuminati, and how you began seeing the all-seeing eye and triangles everywhere? You began questioning everything because of that right? Well that’s what this strain will have you doing. Illuminati OG is infamous for its ability to knock you on your ass and leave you in a stoney stupor.

The high from this one begins like a slightly soothing head massage. Warm, relaxing sensations pulse from the top of your head and radiate through the rest of your body. As you’re quickly and subtly seduced by these calming effects, the powerful Illuminati OG seizes your mind. It should be noted that this strain has become quite popular amongst those who suffer from headaches and migraines, as the effects of this high have been shown to alleviate those symptoms. As your mood is boosted towards euphoria, you might find yourself incredibly giggly and talkative. Many enjoy this period of time, and use this strain as a way to help them socialize in situations they might otherwise feel awkward in.

As your mind wanders towards introspection, your body is slowly brought back down to earth in a calming fashion that leaves all of your tensions at ease. Thanks to this strain’s incredibly potent average THC concentration of 19%, Illuminati OG’s effects are sure to hit you where it hurts, literally. Medical cannabis patients have been snatching up this strain as soon as it hits the shelves in order to help with their chronic pain, insomnia, depression, and anxiety!
