being from the N. Fla region I can honestly say I never heard of OG Kush until about 2k and Chems about 06, Crippy came round alot then it slowly faded away. The shit that I've know as Crippy ( and not just used as a general name as it was) was hazey like, but Sour D was in the area forever then it just disappeared, this was long before I started growing and you had to know someone who knew someone to get anything besides Light Green Mid with hardly any seeds in L's for 2200 or Hydro at $400/oz that didnt smoke harder than the mid.
Yeah boy until OG Kush and Granddady Purp hit the scene from then on until this day everything is Kush or Purp, and basically anything else you giving away down here. But that's only for us who just smoke green. The reason I said that is most of the people down here smoke dirty and fantasy (molly) blunts so they could care less if its loud or mid cause its getting remixed.from what i've heard people in fl called anything super dank crippy but you'd have to comment on that one.
@mrtokerz2 said "...here in LA where we put it on the map". Basic reading comprehension skills will tell you that he's not claiming it came from Los Angeles, he saying that the strain blew up because it started being released through clubs and other growers and gained popularity. Which makes total sense because California is the only legal state where the strain could become popular and distributed widely throughout a huge amount of people, smokers, growers, clubs etc. And everybody loved it, it is this OG buzz that "put it on the map"....and i'll believe their stories over yours (which is essentially OG came from LA which is insanely ridiculous).
Chunky bro! Can't wait to smoke thatHow about some OG !!!

JK. It's the skunk. Does kinda look like it tho aey?
Update - I communicated with the daughter of Frank Gegax and she told me that DAVE HAS NEVER MET her father Frank, that her sister went to school with Dave Richards and that she thinks that Dave did go loot the grow site AFTER the bust, but what he may have found/stolen/looted from the DEA raided grow site is unknown. I have to go back and actually listen to his whole story - I just couldn't bother to listen to him go on, but now that I know the premise of his story is totally fabricated I want to give it a listen.
Thank you for the kind words - we are all making the world better by just resisting the oppression.

... there weren't a ton of different strains refined at the time
Oahno there was a huge amount of "Refined" strains at this time. The statement is completely ludicrous beyond words.
I don't believe Dave ever said he met or hung with Frank. Just that once it got busted, they were scared the genetics would be lost so a friend of daves had him go around and snag genetics from other houses. I don't think he went to get genetics from the original raided site as they were supposedly dumb and destroyed everything.
While I have no doubt dave is the rat you say he is, i don't think what you're saying actually pokes holes in the gegax connection, if anything it verifies he got the genetics. Ask the daughter to ask frank if he thinks the dogbud is og kush and chemdog, that should put it to rest.
OG, in the late 90's always meant it was Organically Grown whether it was apples or pickles COG at the coop. Until the net took over and weed nerds started communicating and the whole poli hybrid thing exploded weed was weed.
Dave talks about franks breeding of three formula. that I remember.. he did come off as he was incharge of breeding for them.
Excellent point! So the origins of the word "OG" in "OG KUSH" could possibly be:
Organically Grown (likely)
Original Gangster (doubtful) (term used by rappers)
OverGrown (highly doubtful)
OceanGrown (highly doubtful)
Yesterday I spent an hour searching music lyric database trying to find any reference to "OG Kush" http://www.lyrics.net/serp.php?st="og kush" and no references to "OG KUSH" appear until 2007. Search for "Kush" has 30 pages of results, there are about four songs with the word "KUSH" in it for the 1990's. In the 2000's there are about 29 pages of results.
