This strain is crafted by the breeders at Alpha Medic, achieving recognition as a private reserve at their San Diego dispensary and securing 2nd Place at the 2014 Los Angeles Cannabis Cup for best hybrid.

The effects of Alpha OG begin with a sativa-driven euphoria that elevates the mind, inducing feelings of happiness, uplift, and focus. This cerebral buzz gradually gives way to a strong indica body high that deeply relaxes the user, leading to laziness and sleepiness.

These potent effects make Alpha OG particularly effective for treating sleep disorders like apnea and insomnia, chronic pain from injuries or illnesses, and nausea.
