It can easily be distinguished from any other strain because of its powerful skunky smell, which can be recognized almost immediately. Additionally, its smell is quite pungent with citrus undertones. As for the flavor, it is nothing different from what it smells like but you will detect a hint of fuel along with exotic spices. However, True OG is not recommended to individuals who are new to smoking medical marijuana. It is perfect at relaxing your body and mind and is effective at treating several medical conditions. You have to keep in mind that the strain is one of the reasons why the term 'Couchlock' came into being. Not only will you feel exhausted but your eye lids will drop if you smoke higher doses. But then again, it is a great strain to treat insomnia, chronic pain, headaches and even nausea.
