H.O.M.I.E Knows

OG Kush

A foundational West Coast cultivar associated with lemon, pine, fuel and spice aromas. People commonly report relaxed, happy, euphoric, uplifted and hungry effects; experiences vary by person, dose and batch, and these reports are not medical claims.

Roots & history: OG Kush traces to 1990s Florida clone circles before Matt “Bubba” Berger brought a surviving cut to Josh Del Rosso in Los Angeles in 1996. Its exact pedigree is unverified: Chemdog, Lemon Thai and Hindu/Pakistani Kush are widely repeated possibilities, while other accounts point toward Triangle Kush. Even “OG” is disputed oral history—“Original,” “Ocean Grown” and “Original Gangster” all circulate.

Where it's found: Preserved in Southern California, it later spread to the Bay Area, the Emerald Triangle and regulated markets across North America and Europe. It appears in controlled indoor settings and suitably dry, warm outdoor environments; no growing instructions are provided here.

Approximate legal-market flower prices: 1 g $5–15 · 3.5 g $12–46 · 7 g $30–50 · 14 g $55–82 · 28 g/zip $97–105.

What the rules say, what families experience, and what changed—without turning people into stereotypes.

THIS WEEK'S STATUS • OCT 15, 2026

No new federal child-support law this week. What keeps moving is enforcement: reports say a new passport-revocation phase took effect Oct 5, dropping the proactive threshold to $15,000 in arrears — the sixth step-down since May. The underlying 1996 law still sets the line at $2,500, so this is enforcement catching up, not a new rule. Source

Real-life side: if you travel for work or family, check with your state agency before you book. And clearing the balance doesn't instantly bring the passport back — you have to reapply after payment is confirmed.

Still true underneath all of it: order amount ≠ garnishment ceiling. Orders are set under state guidelines; federal withholding limits generally run 50% to 65% of disposable earnings depending on circumstances, and a state may be stricter.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

Order amount ≠ garnishment ceiling

The number of children can influence a support order. Federal withholding limits generally range from 50% to 65% of disposable earnings depending on whether another family is supported and whether arrears exceed 12 weeks; a state may be stricter.

WEDNESDAY FEATURE • BLACK & BROWN VOICES

Reentry success story of the week: Kerwin Pittman

Kerwin Pittman was incarcerated at 18 and served 11½ years. After coming home to Raleigh, he founded the nonprofit RREPS (Recidivism Reduction Educational Programs Services). In 2025, RREPS bought the closed Wayne Correctional Center in Goldsboro for $275,000. Pittman says he is the first formerly incarcerated person in the U.S. to buy a prison. He plans to turn the site into the Recidivism Reduction Campus, offering reentry housing and trade-skills training. The campus is still in development; its proposed resident capacity is a projection, not a current program enrollment figure.
