About Alien OG
Alien OG pairs the classic Tahoe OG with the mysterious Alien Kush to create a powerful, sativa-leaning hybrid known for an exceptionally intense and uplifted high. The buds are dense and resin-heavy with a pungent, fuel-and-pine aroma carrying sweet lemon undertones. Effects strike quickly — an immediate cerebral rush backed by a warm, relaxing body presence — making it a favourite among daytime and creative users. It has been a staple of California dispensaries and has spawned a distinguished family of Alien crosses.
