Alpha Omega OG

Alpha Omega OG is a strain that, despite its high-profile status, remains a bit of a mystery. It was created by Dr. J’s, the prolific Colorado-based company responsible for several potent edible creations. Alpha Omega OG’s genetic origins, however, are unknown. Although the “Alpha” in this strain’s name may suggest descent from sativa Alpha Blue (itself a cross between Blue Dream and NYC Diesel), other sources name San Fernando Valley OG and Dr. J’s own Super OG Kush as parents. Ultimately, only precise independent testing or documentation from Dr. J’s can confirm the strain’s roots. Whatever its lineage, Alpha Omega OG is potent and memorable enough to have earned eighth place on L.A. Weekly’s 2016 roundup of the 10 Best Marijuana Strains at L.A. Dispensaries.

Those who have been lucky enough to sample Alpha Omega OG praise the strain’s tasty combination of pine and dank, kushy flavors and its smooth, palatable smoke. This bud’s high is characterized as more indica than sativa — it creates a calm, trancelike mindset that’s more hazy and dreamy than it is exacting and cerebral. Euphoria and increased creativity are also reported, while the strain’s medical uses include appetite stimulation and chronic pain relief.

Somewhat difficult to come by outside of Southern California, Alpha Omega OG is worth sampling if spotted on dispensary shelves. Be warned that this bud’s potency may come at a steep cost, though — Alpha Omega OG reportedly sells for as much as $72 per ? of an ounce.
