Quick Hits
What kind of high is 818 OG?
An indica-dominant hybrid reported as relaxed, euphoric and happy. Picked for sleep & bedtime and evening wind down at night. The profile features earthy lemon flavor, floral citrus aroma and myrcene as the lead terpene.
Terpenes are natural compounds that give cannabis its smell. Compare citrus, pine, and earthy notes to find what you like. They are clues, not a promise of how it feels.
Terpene percentages belong to the jar, not the strain. They move with harvest timing, drying, cure and shelf age — the lighter ones literally evaporate. What holds steady is which terpenes lead, so that is what we rank.

There’s more to a strain than THC%.
THC percentage is a property of the product in your hand, not of the strain. It shifts with the batch, the grower, the harvest, and how the flower was cured and stored — the same strain can test several points apart from two different jars.
Treat the ranges below as market context for what to expect on a shelf — then read the actual label on the product you are buying, and use the terpene profile to judge how it will feel.

Professor High interprets the pattern
Okay, this is a textbook study in sequencing. First comes a bright, lemony lift behind the eyes, like someone raised the dimmer switch on my mood. Everything feels a little funnier and warmer, and I'm grinning at nothing in particular. That's likely the limonene and pinene taking the opening act.
Then the myrcene shows up, and gravity gets personal. My shoulders unspool and my spine melts into the couch cushion. There's a gentle, syrupy heaviness in my limbs, almost like my muscles are being gently ironed flat. My thoughts are still pleasant, just slower, the way a river widens and calms near the sea.
And now, scientifically speaking, my stomach has filed an urgent request for snacks. My eyelids are negotiating for an early bedtime. This isn't a strain for spreadsheets. It's a velvet-curtain finale for the day, and I'm happily taking my bow.

The helpful detail
818 OG at a Glance
818 OG is an indica-leaning hybrid (about 70% indica / 30% sativa) from the OG family. It's known for a relaxed, euphoric high that tends to drift toward sleepiness and a strong appetite. With 18–20% THC and 0.16–1% CBD, it's a Type I (THC-dominant) chemovar best saved for the end of the day. You may also see it labeled 818 or OG 818. It's considered uncommon, so finding it can take some searching.
🧬 Genetic Heritage
Most sources trace 818 OG to OG Kush. Breeder HoliMoli describes it as a cross of two OG Kush phenotypes. Other accounts differ:
- LA Kush x SFV OG — listed by one high-credibility source
- OG Kush x SFV OG — another reported pairing
- Hindu Kush x unknown — a single outlier source
The common thread is OG Kush family genetics. Seeds are offered through Crop King Seeds.
Sources split almost evenly on classification. Some call it a hybrid and others a pure indica. Expect the indica side to lead.
👃 Terpene Profile & Aroma
Myrcene is reported as the dominant terpene. These profiles are anecdotal, with no lab percentages available.
- Myrcene — earthy and herbal, commonly linked to body heaviness and sedation
- Caryophyllene — peppery spice; binds CB2 receptors and is studied for pain and inflammation
- Humulene — woody and dry, researched for anti-inflammatory properties
- Limonene — bright citrus, associated with mood lift
- Pinene — fresh pine, linked to alertness
- Eucalyptol — a cool, herbal accent
The aroma opens on an earthy base, layered with lemon and citrus, pine, and fruity sweetness. Softer floral, sour, and woody notes sit underneath.
👅 Flavor Experience
- Earthy — the classic OG foundation
- Lemon & citrus — a tart, zesty lift on the inhale
- Fruity & sweet — rounds out the middle
- Sour & diesel — the fuel-tinged OG bite
- Pine — a resinous finish on the exhale
🎯 Effects & Experience
The most consistently reported effects:
- Relaxed — the most frequently cited effect
- Euphoric & happy — a warm mood lift
- Uplifted, creative, giggly — reported especially early in the session
- Sleepy — the indica dominance shows as the session goes on
- Hungry — expect strong munchies
The cheerful headspace tends to arrive first. A steadily deepening body relaxation follows, which many users ride straight into sleep. That arc is why sources favor nighttime use.
🎮 Use Cases
- Sleep & bedtime routines
- Evening wind-downs after a long day
- Movies, music, and good meals
- Baths and showers
💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential
User reports suggest 818 OG may help with:
- Insomnia — the most widely cited use
- Stress and anxiety — calming euphoria
- Depression — mood support
- Chronic pain and muscle tension — myrcene and caryophyllene may contribute
- Loss of appetite — a reliable hunger trigger
- Headaches and inflammation — reported less often
These reports are anecdotal. Talk with a healthcare provider before using cannabis medically.
⚠️ Consumer Considerations
- Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most commonly reported side effects.
- Dizziness, paranoia, and anxiety appear less often. They're more likely at higher doses.
- Reported potency varies between batches, so check the label.
- Newer users should start small. Its sedating finish makes it a poor match for daytime tasks.
