Gas Station Shatter - Lindsay OG

By AllBud‘s account, OG Kush is one parent of Lindsay OG, the strain in this Gas Station shatter. AllBud also knows it as Lindsay, Lindsay Kush or Lindsay OG Kush.

A rare cross on an OG Kush base

AllBud calls Lindsay OG a rare hybrid that leans slightly indica, at 60% indica and 40% sativa, made by crossing OG Kush with another hybrid, and says hybrid lovers count it a favourite for its potent, full-bodied high. Leafly lists it as a hybrid too, with its effects gauge pointing mostly toward calming.

Heavy skunk, diesel and a sweet exhale

The flavour AllBud describes is classic pungent skunk with a lightly sweet exhale. Its aroma notes are earthy and herbal, carrying a heavy skunky pungency that lingers long after the buds are burned. Diesel, earthy and skunk make up Leafly’s flavour tags, and one Leafly reviewer praises a really nice, potent diesel taste. AllBud reviewers add a smooth but powerful, kushy taste and, in another case, an incredibly sweet smell.

Popcorn buds under golden frost

As flower, the strain grows medium-sized, popcorn-shaped, dark green buds, according to AllBud, with leaves it calls minty, bright orange hairs and golden amber trichomes laid on thick and frosty. One AllBud reviewer describes purple, very frosty and dense bud.

A clear head, then the couch

AllBud says the high starts in the head with clarity and a lifted, happy mood before a deeply relaxing body high takes over, one that can leave people couch-locked. Its effect tags are creative, focus, relaxing and uplifting, while Leafly reviewers report feeling happy, giggly and relaxed. One of those reviewers usually mixes Lindsay OG with other strains and suggests Mendo Breath as a partner. On AllBud, Lindsay OG averages 15% to 23% THC and scores 4.4 from 24 votes.

Handling a brittle extract

Shatter like this is hard and see-through, and chilled, it fractures much as glass does. Most of it gets dabbed, though a broken-off piece can go over flower instead; for the contrast with softer extracts, our comparison of shatter and wax covers texture and stability. Health Canada‘s lower-risk advice puts Lindsay OG shatter in the same high-THC bracket as hash, kief and wax, a bracket it tells new and occasional users to stay out of; smoked or vaped, it says, cannabis shows its effects within seconds to minutes. Under its lower-risk use guidelines, the gap between a Lindsay OG dab and getting behind the wheel should run 6 hours at the very least.
