Godfather OG Kush, also known as “Godfather OG,” is often called the “Don” of all of the OG strains due to its powerful effects and powerful THC level of 22-28% on average. This bud is created through a cross of the potent Granddaddy Purple X OG Kush strains for a myriad of powerful parents. The Godfather OG Kush high is not for beginners – use with caution! This high hits you hard with a powerful creeping effect that suddenly leaves you completely couch-locked and helplessly sedated within 20 minutes of toking.
You’ll be trapped within your own mind as you soar through deep introspection. Nonetheless, you’ll be happy and euphoric in this state, although unable to move for anything other than a snack or five. These effects coupled with its powerful THC level make Godfather OG Kush ideal for treating patients suffering from conditions such as chronic stress or anxiety, muscle spasms, chronic pain, tremors, appetite loss, and insomnia. This bud has a pungent earthy flavor with hints of skunky pine and an aroma of pungent earthy pine topped with herbal spiciness and a hint of pepper. Godfather OG Kush buds have small rounded popcorn-shaped light minty green nugs with bright orange and red hairs and a fine coating of sweet sticky resin..
THC-A crystalline is a relative-newcomer to the world of cannabis concentrates that boasts incredible potency. Also known as THCA diamonds, concentrates of this variety sport up to 99.9% THC content, making them the strongest on the market at the moment. However, amongst all the hype and acclaim surrounding these products, a pair of questions often goes unanswered: what exactly are THC-A diamonds and where do they come from? If you, like many others, have been asking yourself the same thing, then you’ve come to the right place, as I am about to give you the lowdown on the concentrate that yields the highest high.
In a jar of sauce, diamonds are the crystalline structures that develop at the bottom of the container. Concentrate enthusiasts will be familiar with sauce carts, or vape cartridges loaded with terpene-heavy sauce. These cannabis diamonds may also refer to the crystalline structures left over after terp sauce has been removed from the initial sauce mixture. These diamonds are usually coated in residual sauce. Diamonds can also refer to pure crystalline THCA that have been isolated from refined oil.
The central difference between these types of diamonds is the context in which they’re extracted and further processed. Whether presented as a saucy, high-terpene extract, or packaged as isolated THCA, diamonds are always crystalline structures of pure THCA. Remember, these diamonds may be inaccurately referred to as pure THC, but in reality, they come in the pure THCA form.
The size and shape of diamonds don’t necessarily reflect the quality of input materials. The size and shape is influenced by temperature, moisture, chemical impurities, and solvents used in the extraction process.
Diamonds range in size from very small to large chunks. THCA is a pseudopolymorph, meaning it can crystallize into multiple forms, but only when acted upon by variables such as temperature, moisture, and chemical impurities. Sterols, lipids, and even terpenes can impurify and alter the course of crystallization.
Similar to the way chemical variables interfere with sugar crystallization to create molasses, terpenes and other intruding compounds disrupt THCA crystallization to varying degrees, which has an effect on the diamond’s structure. Unique terpene profiles, that are dependant on the cannabis variety that is being extracted, can alter the size and composition of the diamonds created in an unrefined cannabis extract. The final size and shape is also influenced by the interference of solvents that are used during the extraction process. However, different shapes and sizes don’t necessarily mean different levels of purity. A diamond’s physical attributes are more a record of its path to crystallization than an indicator of how pure the diamond is.
THCA is non-intoxicating on its own, but converts into the intoxicating THC when exposed to heat through decarboxylation. When THCA diamonds are vaporized through a dab rig, e-rig, or vaporizer, THCA decarboxylates into the active THC, which in turn binds with receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system to produce an intoxicating effect.
