The Cure Co. Flower
From Downtown LA to high-end dispensaries, The Cure Co. has built its rep on consistency, quality, and collabs with cultural icons. Their flower strains are lab-tested, clean-grown, and loved by cannabis connoisseurs across the state.
Marathon OG isn't just a strain—it's a tribute. It's a special phenotype of OG Kush, selected and bred for its powerful punch and calming clarity. Gassy, earthy, and piney—this is OG Kush on steroids.
Named in honor of the late rapper Nipsey Hussle, Marathon OG is more than a product—it's a symbol. Nipsey's legacy of hustle, empowerment, and authenticity flows through this flower. It's a staple for fans and cannabis lovers alike.
Crack open a jar and you'll see tight, dense buds coated with milky trichomes. With hues of lime green and purple, this flower is sticky, sparkly, and stunning.
One whiff, and it hits you. Diesel fuel, pine forest, and damp earth—it's like hiking through a forest with a jet engine behind you. The smell is pungent, lingering, and unmistakably OG.
When smoked or vaped, Marathon OG delivers creamy, gassy hits with an herbal backend. It's smooth on the inhale and earthy on the exhale, with a taste that lingers pleasantly.
Don't underestimate this beast. Within a few minutes, users report a heavy head rush followed by full-body relaxation. It's a slow-burning high that builds layer by layer.
You'll feel uplifted, focused, and calm, all at once. This isn't a wild creative sativa—it's a grounded, balanced indica that keeps your mind clear while your body melts into the couch.
Because of its high THC levels, newbies might find it overwhelming. Veterans, however, will love its complex, heady buzz.
Feeling anxious or tense? Marathon OG is like a weighted blanket for your brain. It slows racing thoughts and encourages calmness.
Users with chronic pain, inflammation, or muscle tension say this strain is a game-changer. The body buzz dulls discomfort and encourages deep relaxation.
Feeling down? Marathon OG gently lifts your mood without overstimulating. It's great for mellow evenings or quiet weekends.
This isn't your average dispensary flower. Marathon OG often clocks in at 25–30% THC, making it extremely potent and long-lasting.
Nighttime or chill weekends are ideal. It's not your 'quick hit before a meeting' strain—it's more like a 'put the phone on Do Not Disturb' strain.
Each eighth comes in a sleek black glass jar with Nipsey-inspired branding. It's premium, collectible, and designed to keep the flower fresh.
The Cure Co. focuses on environmentally conscious packaging, lab testing, and pesticide-free cultivation—a huge win for health-conscious smokers. Glass bong or bowl for the smoothest flavor

Start low and slow. A few puffs can go a long way. Stay hydrated, grab some snacks, and find your favorite playlist.
Marathon OG is not always available, which adds to its cult-like appeal. When it drops, it sells out fast—and for good reason.
The Cure Co. grows this strain in state-of-the-art facilities, under strict environmental controls, which results in consistent top-shelf quality.
You can grab it at licensed dispensaries throughout California—especially in Los Angeles. It's often featured at The Cure Company's DTLA location.
To buy Marathon OG, you must be 21+ or 18+ with a medical card in California. Always shop from licensed dispensaries for legit products.
Keep your flower in a cool, dark place, ideally in its original glass jar. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture.
Properly stored, Marathon OG can stay potent for 6–12 months. But let's be real—it probably won't last that long.
While both share a lineage, Marathon OG is stronger, gassier, and more meditative. Think of it as OG Kush with a master's degree. Chill seekers
Cannabis veterans
Fans of deep, calming indicas

It combines culture, quality, and killer effects—a trifecta that's hard to beat.
Absolutely. If you're chasing a legendary high with cultural weight, this is your strain. Marathon OG is not just about getting lifted—it's about honoring legacy, finding calm, and treating yourself to the best.
1. Is Marathon OG suitable for beginners?

Indian fusion spot King and Cardinal opens in Tempe
Indian fusion cuisine seems to be all the rage here in the Valley. State of play: King and Cardinal opened in June at Mill and Southern avenues in Tempe. The restaurant offers the flavors of Hyderabad, a major city in southern India, and "a bold blend of global comfort food, desi flair, and street-side soul." Zoom in: The menu covers a lot of ground. They offer a variety of burgers, including mutton, chicken, paneer and veggie varieties. You can also try Indian-inspired sandwiches, wings in flavors like tikka masala or butter chicken, and appetizers such as samosas. Then, wash it down with an Irani chai. Yes, but: Not everything on the menu is inspired by Hyderabad's cuisine. They've got popcorn chicken, salads and old-fashioned French fries. If you've got room for dessert, they've got ice cream, with traditional flavors like vanilla and cookies and cream to pan masala and sitafal, a creamy, custard-like tropical fruit popular in India. Best bites: I went with the KC dirty burger, a seasoned beef patty topped with an egg and a creamy sauce, and a side of peri peri fries.

Jordan Chiles taught me her Olympic floor routine
I learned how to do a gymnastics floor routine from Jordan Chiles. Why it matters: A year after the Paris Olympics, her bronze medal is in limbo, but her status as a sports icon isn't. After appearances on red carpets, WNBA games and the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition, the Olympic gold medalist is spending quality time with her fans. Driving the news: Chiles is the latest celebrity to bring curated experiences to the public, courtesy of Airbnb's new "Originals" feature. Guests have shared a home-cooked meal with Megan Thee Stallion and played football with Patrick Mahomes. "I have dreams of experiencing things with my fans, and I think this was such a great opportunity to do that," Chiles tells Axios. State of play: The UCLA gymnastics star hosted four sessions over two days in a downtown Los Angeles studio. The room was splashed with purple — a tribute to her Prince-inspired routine — and filled with Chiles' sayings and mantras like, "always believe in the power of your dreams," and "I'm that girl." Behind the scenes: She led me and seven other guests through a meditation, taught us how to perform her floor routine (minus the flips), sat down for a group Q&A and ended the evening with a photo opp and book signing. My thought bubble: Airbnb charged guests $150 for the two-hour session, and it was worth it. The celebrity gymnast kept the floor routine portion fun and light, she was welcoming and vulnerable during the Q&A and we got gifts (including signed copies of her book) that amounted to roughly half of the price of entry. What she's saying: As for the status of her bronze medal, Chiles says she's "focusing on continuing to live life." "I can't really do anything about it anymore ... at the end of the day, I'm always going to be loved, I'm always going to be supported. I'm going to continue to fight for who I am."

AI Is Giving Rise to a Wild Range of New Slang — Including the Term ‘Clanker'
Most parents would put a hard stop to anything derogatory and mean coming out of their kids' mouths. But how do we handle it when the slur is aimed at robots? Yes, this is a real thing that's happening. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) incorporated into every area of our lives, people are falling in love with chat bots, outsourcing their thoughts (and homework) to generative AI, and, yes, slinging derogatory words to anything robotic as part of a larger 'robophobic' trend. 'Clanker' Middle school teacher and TikToker Mr. Lindsay revealed what 'clanker' means in a new video. 'The word 'clanker' is being deemed as a robophobic term and is being used humorously toward robots,' he says. 'It's meant to be an insult toward robots and that's all it means.' More from SheKnows Majority of Teens Talk to Their Parents About Money - But Still Don't Feel Confident in Financial Literacy It seems to come from Star Wars, where robots were treated as second-class citizens. Like in the Clone Wars cartoon, where a droid was called 'a dirty, wire-backed clanker,' according to Mr. Lindsay. When the U.S. President refers to actual human beings as 'illegals,' then you can see how we live in a society where casual slurs are deemed appropriate. Sure, you are being derogatory to a robot, but it just paints a picture of how quick we are to diminish something just to feel better in some way. 'Slopper' Other Ai-inspired slurs are gaining steam right now too. For example, words to degrade people who use AI for everything. The popularity of AI use by the elders among us — aka, millennials and older— has given rise to terms like 'slopper' or 'Groksucker,' per Fast Company. Because anything worth doing is going to be mocked mercilessly about, right? 'Slopper' is a play on 'slop,' which is what people call low-quality text, images, and anything else created by AI that are dominating our screens and replacing work done by real people. So, in that vein, a 'slopper' is someone who is 'using ChatGPT to do everything for them,' according to Fast Company. 'Groksucker' is a more vulgar way of saying this, referring to people who rely on Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok on X. How Teens Feel About AI Do these derogatory terms give a clue into how teens really feel about AI or is it just their dark humor coming into play because they actually do like it? After all, Common Sense Media released a report last month that found 72 percent of teens have used AI companions, with 52 percent revealing that they are regular users. And 1 in 3 teens say they turn to AI companions for conversations, getting emotional support, role-playing, and romance. Nearly 1 in 3 said that these interactions were as satisfying or more satisfying than conversations with real people! SheKnows talked to teens during a Teens at a Table episode, where they reflected on the value of real friendships. 'I feel like AI won't give you a realistic expectation of what having a real partner is like,' 16-year-old Meera told us about relationships with AI. She continued, 'AI is always nice to you and, like, catering to you, and I feel like that's not actually how it works with people. My friends and I … we sometimes fight, but that's part of our friendship.' 17-year-old Greta agrees that parents should have conversations and limits around kids with AI. 'I don't think it's a good thing for kids to be looking at AI too early,' she said. 'Because it's really, like, limitless.' What Do You Think? When AI first started taking off a few years ago, teachers and parents were wary of the way students could use it to do their homework for them. Now, teachers and parents are turning to ChatGPT and other tools to help us — and kids are making fun of us for it. (Don't you know the quickest way to make something uncool for the next generation is by doing it yourself?) Maybe the trend of calling AI-powered tools and robots 'clankers' — and making fun of people who feel like they always need to turn to ChatGPT or Grok — will actually be a positive thing. These new slang terms can help shape the way people think about AI and encourage healthy practices, such as using ChatGPT to help you draft an outline for a research paper but not to replace your IRL girlfriend. On the other hand, robophobic terms like these could make people who use AI feel even lonelier and more isolated from society. It's just one more way they are being bullied and made to feel lesser than, which might make them more likely to turn to AI for companionship and support. This is one of those tricky turning points in society where we don't really know how things will affect us in the long run until time passes. In the meantime, let this be a tool to ease into conversations with your kids about our use and reliance of AI and what we want our future to look like.
