La OG

La OG, also known as Los Angeles OG, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that is believed to be a cross between the legendary OG Kush and another unknown strain. This strain is particularly popular in its hometown of Los Angeles, California, and is known for its high THC content, which averages around 19-20%, but can reach as high as 24%. La OG is approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa.

La OG is renowned for its potent and relaxing effects, making it a favorite among those seeking relief from stress, anxiety, and insomnia. However, due to its high THC content, beginners should approach this strain with caution as it can produce intense psychoactive effects. La OG is also used by some to manage chronic pain and stimulate appetite. The flavor profile of La OG is described as a complex blend of earthy pine, sweet citrus, and a hint of spice.

Chronic Pain, Muscle Pain and Other Types of Pain

Cannabis contains compounds known as cannabinoids, with the most well-known being delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). These compounds interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating pain.

THC has analgesic properties that can help reduce pain, while CBD can help reduce inflammation, a common cause of many types of pain. Additionally, cannabis can help improve sleep, which can, in turn, help manage chronic pain conditions. Some studies have shown that medical cannabis can help replace or reduce the use of opioids for pain management.
