- More about Face Off OG:
No, we’re not talking about the Nicky Cage movie that made waves in 1997. However, the name Face Off OG was based on the feeling that this extremely potent bud provides and actually predates the film by a few years. Not much is known specifically about this strain, however many believe it to be a byproduct of two extremely hard-hitting pure indicas that will have you feeling like your face is literally coming off in a fury of tingles.
The THC content falls somewhere around 20% making it higher than average and leaning towards a long-lasting potency. It is believed to be 50-50, but most consider it an indica-dominant strain because of the heavy body buzz and cerebral stoney combo. These super-dense medicinal buds are extremely leafy and lime green in color. They are covered in red hairs and tiny white trichomes, giving a nice contrast from the dark green leaves. The flavors and aromas are not anything to write home about but are pleasant enough: earthy and woody with a nice aftertaste.
The Face Off OG high is as you would expect: extremely tingly, very potent, and not at all for first-timers. On occasion even the most experienced of cannabis users find it to be overwhelming. This super heavy high sometimes leads to confusion and dizziness, though for the most part is typically a relaxing, calm experience. You’ll find yourself entirely couch locked within a very short span of time and the laziness that accompanies that will completely overpower any motivation you may have had going into this experience. The sleepiness sets in fairly quickly, so if you are the type to plan ahead make sure to include a pillow.

Sufferers of chronic pain, muscle tension, headaches, and injury can enjoy the relief that this extremely strong flower provides with only a few puffs.
