Khalifa Kush is a indica-leaning cannabis strain with a sweet pine, lemon, classic OG fuel funk profile, 24-29% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene. It is best known for evening unwind, deep body relaxation, the experienced-OG-smoker pickup, with effects setting in fast, 3 minutes, hard-hitting OG body and head. Terp Bros NYC stocks Khalifa Kush-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
Khalifa Kush is typically reported as a indica-leaning experience: evening unwind, deep body relaxation, the experienced-OG-smoker pickup. Onset is fast, 3 minutes, hard-hitting OG body and head. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
Khalifa Kush is built on a dominant terpene stack of caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, which together produce the sweet pine, lemon, classic OG fuel funk aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Caryophyllene
In Khalifa Kush specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Limonene
In Khalifa Kush specifically, limonene contributes mood-elevating, clear-headed euphoria, daytime-friendly.
Myrcene
In Khalifa Kush specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Lineage + Genetics
Khalifa Kush traces back to OG Kush phenotype (proprietary), with a documented origin story rooted in Los Angeles, released as a proprietary OG Kush cut by Wiz Khalifa around 2014, became the high-THC OG benchmark. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
Khalifa Kush at 27% THC moves fast in the Cross Bay Blvd Ozone Park store, celebrity-strain branding hits with a specific crowd and the genetics actually deliver. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try Khalifa Kush in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is Khalifa Kush a daytime or evening strain? Yes for most customers. Khalifa Kush's caryophyllene + limonene terpene dominance combined with the indica-leaning lineage makes it one of our requested evening strains. Pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for full evening wind-down support.
Does Khalifa Kush cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. Khalifa Kush contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding), limonene (mood-elevating) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of Khalifa Kush? Khalifa Kush typically tests in the 24-29% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is Khalifa Kush safe for first-time cannabis customers? Khalifa Kush is one of the friendlier strains for first-time customers because the body-heavy effect tends to be physically grounding rather than anxiety-provoking. Start with a small dose, and have a low-key evening plan, this is not a strain for active social settings.
