IFC OG
aka Ifc
IFC OG is a potent, indica-dominant cross (70/30) of Stardust OG and OG Kush bred by Intergalatikz. Boasting 20-27% THC and a caryophyllene-forward terpene profile, it delivers classic OG relaxation and euphoria wrapped in a surprising fruity flavor twist — think earthy diesel funk meeting blueberry, mango, and cheese notes. A versatile pick for pain relief, stress relief, and winding down.
The Short Answer
What kind of high is IFC OG?
Caryophyllene-led and herbal-cheese on the palate, most often reported relaxed and picked for sleep & bedtime.
Terpenes decide how a strain feels — THC% only decides how strong the dose is. Here is the family, the chemistry behind it, and what people reach for it to do.
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that shape the character of a high. The blend a strain carries — not its THC percentage — is what makes one feel bright and social and another heavy and sleepy, which is why the top three are listed rather than just the leader.
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.

The Experience
Professor High Says...
In-depth strain breakdown from Professor High, our AI cannabis expert
The moment this hits, you'll feel that classic OG heaviness settle into your shoulders — a warm, grounding relaxation that spreads outward like a slow tide. But then something unexpected happens: a bright euphoric lift cuts through the body weight, almost playful, nudging your mind toward creative tangents before gravity pulls you back down into comfortable sedation. The caryophyllene is doing real work here — that peppery spice you taste on the exhale is quite literally binding to your CB2 receptors, easing physical tension while the linalool smooths out any mental edges. Give it twenty, thirty minutes and the hunger creeps in, followed by heavy eyelids. This isn't a strain that rushes you anywhere — it's a slow, layered unfolding that rewards patience. By the peak, you're pleasantly stuck between relaxed and sleepy, which makes it a fantastic strain for letting go of the day's static.

Cannabinoids (THC & CBD)
THC 20-27% · Type I chemovar
THC% tells you how strong. Terpenes tell you how it feels.
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.

Detailed Description
The long-form profile · ~2 min read
A Fruity Twist on Classic OG Fire
IFC OG is an indica-dominant hybrid (70% Indica / 30% Sativa) that takes the legendary OG Kush backbone and injects it with a surprising, fruit-laced complexity. Bred by Intergalatikz in 2015 from a cross of Stardust OG and OG Kush, this strain (also known simply as "Ifc") remains relatively uncommon on dispensary shelves, making it a bit of a hidden gem for OG enthusiasts looking for something outside the usual diesel-and-pine mold.
🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage
The pairing of Stardust OG and OG Kush gives IFC OG its indica-leaning structure and potent chemical profile. With THC levels ranging from 20% to 27%, this is a strain built for experienced consumers, while CBD stays minimal (0-1%), placing it firmly in the Type II high-THC category.
👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics
Caryophyllene leads the terpene profile, lending a peppery, spicy backbone associated with CB2-receptor interaction and anti-inflammatory potential. Supporting players Linalool and Myrcene round things out, contributing floral calm and body-heavy sedation, respectively. On the nose, you'll pick up a layered mix of:
- Earthy and woody base notes reminiscent of classic OG genetics
- Skunky and pungent funk that hits hard on first sniff
- Chemical and diesel undertones typical of the OG Kush lineage
- Spicy and herbal accents that keep things dynamic
👅 Flavor Experience
Where IFC OG really surprises is on the exhale. Beneath the expected earthy, spicy, pungent OG framework, you'll often find unexpected pockets of blueberry, apple, mango, and strawberry, along with a creamy cheese note that lingers on the palate. It's a sensory journey that starts gassy and finishes fruity — a flavor contrast that makes each session feel a little different.
🎯 Effects & Experience
Expect the classic OG one-two punch: a relaxed, body-melting sensation paired with euphoric mental uplift. Many users also report feeling sleepy and hungry, making this a strong evening or nighttime companion, though some describe more creative, energetic, uplifted, and focused moments in lower doses — suggesting the effects shift depending on how much you consume and when.
🎮 Use Cases & Activities
Given this range, IFC OG lends itself well to:
- Pain relief — the caryophyllene-driven body effects help ease tension
- Stress relief — euphoric onset softens mental noise
- Relaxation — sinking indica-heavy comfort
- Sleep aid — sedating qualities support winding down
- Creative pursuits — reported focus and uplift in smaller doses
💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential
On the mental side, users report this strain may help with stress, depressive symptoms, and anxious thoughts. Physically, it's frequently associated with pain management, sleep support, and combating fatigue — though appetite stimulation (the "hungry" effect) is also commonly noted.
⚠️ Consumer Considerations
With THC reaching up to 27%, IFC OG is best suited for experienced consumers. Start low and go slow, especially given the sedating, sleepy tendencies that build with higher doses. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most commonly reported side effects — keep water nearby and eye drops on hand.
