Who Is Josh D?

A Branch of a Branch

Joshua Del Rosso — known throughout the cannabis world as Josh D — is one of the central figures behind the rise of OG Kush. In 1996, in the wake of California's Proposition 215, he and a small crew brought the original Triangle Kush genetics from Florida to Los Angeles. What followed was the cultivar that defined a generation of cannabis.

Over the next three decades, Josh built a legacy that runs through nearly every modern OG variant — Tahoe, SFV, Ghost, Larry, and countless descendants. His original cuts have been preserved, his breeding work has produced new standards, and his name is the one growers, breeders, and connoisseurs reference when they talk about the real thing.

Today Josh D operates across six states, partners with legacy growers and dispensaries internationally, and continues to release new genetics under his name.

The Story

OG Kush is a lifestyle.

For over three decades, OG Kush has defined strength, flavor, and culture. More than a plant — a legacy. I've been fortunate to grow it all these years, not just because it's the strongest and most flavorful smoke when done right, but because it carries something deeper.

    Preserve the original cuts

    What we brought from Florida in 1996 has to survive the next thirty years. Preservation is foundation.

    For the love of OG

    This isn't a business. It's a lifestyle. And I'm grateful for every one of you who lives it with me.

In His Own Words

What Josh Says.

"OG Kush is a part of the weed culture now and is our lifestyle. Props to OG, and to everyone that has been a part of this blessing. A branch of a branch."

"For the first time, LA became the epicenter for growing the most chronic, most sought-after, and most expensive weed on the planet. The entire region experienced an economic and cultural boom that continues to shape the city decades later."

"Kush was the catalyst for the rise of successful indoor growing in Southern California. A new culture was forming, and OG Kush became its first true superstar."
