Texas Original, a medical cannabis provider, introduced its newest proprietary medical cannabis strain: Texas OG. Bred exclusively for Texas Original products, Texas OG was cultivated by the company’s in-house team of horticulturists.

“Texas OG was born after analyzing the genetics and phenotypic profiles of multiple strains,” said Jason Sanders, director of cultivation for Texas Original. “Our team carefully identified the plant qualities we need to produce the optimal THC level and a rich terpene profile to yield high-impact extracts for our patients’ medicine.”

Texas Original employs a team of cannabis cultivators unique in Texas for their expertise in medical cannabis breeding and cultivation. A THC-dominant indica strain, Texas OG originates from strains known for their strong yields and medical benefits, including an OG strain. Texas OG’s dominant terpenes are alpha-pinene—which may reduce anxiety or increase focus—and beta-myrcene—which may induce a calming effect and is known to have antioxidant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Texas Original’s Rick Simpson Oil (RSO)—a full-spectrum extract that includes all the cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, proteins and other beneficial compounds of the cannabis plant—is now wholly derived from Texas OG. The company’s RSO-infused products include its Pineapple Gummies, Dark Chocolate Bites and 0:1 Tincture.

Texas Original also announced the release of a limited-time 30 mg gummy flavor: Sour Apple. Texas Original released its Blueberry Lemonade gummy—the state’s first 30 mg medical cannabis gummy—in December 2023. Optimized for patients prescribed higher doses, the 30 mg gummy will be available in both Sour Apple and Blueberry Lemonade.
