About Cali Gold

Cali Gold is a hybrid bred from Jah OG Kush and DS Gold. You may also see it sold as California Gold. Reviews most often mention feeling euphoric, talkative and hungry.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 19 flower samples tested between 2022 and 2024 came in at a median of 28.1% total THC (the middle half ranged from 26.5% to 29.3%). CBD is typically negligible (under 0.5%). That puts it at the strong end of the market, so newer consumers should start low. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.
