The OG Kiss
The Original OG Kush (OGKS) × Smooch
Bred and selected by Josh D, OG Kiss is a love letter to Kush aficionados and a testament to the lineage that built modern cannabis. Classic Kush all the way through.
Authentic genetics, original stories, and the real history from the man who brought OG Kush from the LA underground to the world.
Finally, after 30 years in the game, the world gets to hear the real story from the people who were actually there. This story goes beyond personal contributions — this is one for the culture.
Joshua Del Rosso — known throughout the cannabis world as Josh D — is one of the central figures behind the rise of OG Kush. In 1996, in the wake of California's Proposition 215, he and a small crew brought the original Triangle Kush genetics from Florida to Los Angeles. What followed was the cultivar that defined a generation of cannabis.
Over the next three decades, Josh built a legacy that runs through nearly every modern OG variant — Tahoe, SFV, Ghost, Larry, and countless descendants. His original cuts have been preserved, his breeding work has produced new standards, and his name is the one growers, breeders, and connoisseurs reference when they talk about the real thing.
Today Josh D operates across six states, partners with legacy growers and dispensaries internationally, and continues to release new genetics and preservation projects under his name.
