Strain of the Week: Sage OG

[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap”]T[/dropcap]he purifying power of Sage OG will surely create a mystical experience that cleanses the soul and mind, while providing your body with a balanced effect that is both energizing and relaxing.

Sage could mean a mutant and member of the X-Men, an enlightened mystic or an herb that is burnt in order to “cleanse” homes. While it’s easy to chuckle at people who burn sage, called smudging, burning sage does in fact produce a purifying smoke with antimicrobial properties. But in this case, S.A.G.E. stands for Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium. It’s known for its equal balance of indica and sativa characteristics. S.A.G.E. took home 2nd place at the 2001 High Times Cannabis Cup.

Rumor has it that Sage OG is a cross between Haze and a mystery indica stain. The hybrid strain gained popularity throughout California and other states. Today, the strain can be found across Colorado, plus in Portland, Oregon and major cities in Washington and Michigan. It’s earthy, cedar-like aroma was enticing and created a sense of warmth and comfort.

Orange tinted hairs jut out in tangled knots all over the crystal covered flowers, which sparkle brighter than a sidewalk in the summer. After admiring the perfectly cured bud, the taste is what took center stage, beginning with a warm herbal introduction that ended in a savory cloud of relaxation. We couldn’t think of a better way to reach inner peace than to medicate with this hard to find strain.

Many consumers of Sage OG report that its effects last for hours on end—frequently disappearing only to return in waves. You’ll get your money’s worth because Sage OG tends to last longer in your stash because of the strain’s sheer power and long-lasting abilities.
