Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout Cookies, or GSC, is an indica-leaning hybrid strain of marijuana; the lovechild of OG Kush and Durban Poison. GSC has in turn given the world two beautiful progeny in the forms of the Sherbert and Wedding Cake strains. It’s a popular strain among expert stoners who have been in the blazing game for a long time. If you have a high tolerance, this strain will help you shatter that block and bust through to a solid high, boasting a massive max of 28% THC. Variations of GSC include Platinum Girl Scout Cookies and Thin Mints.

The Effects

If you’ve got chronic pain, lost your appetite, struggle to settle an overactive mind, or suffer from nausea or restlessness, the Girl Scouts have a box of Cookies that’ll help with that. Prepare for an intense euphoria, quickly boosting your mood and melting away your body’s troubles. Lay out plenty of snacks in advance as this isn’t really a get-up-and-move-around weed. However, some veteran users have described it as a daytime weed, so it really depends on your tolerance for heavy indicas.

Appearance, Flavour, and Scent

Girl Scout Cookies is a colourful strain. Our recent batch came through with some beautiful flecks of indigo in the leaves against a bed of pale green, as well as bright orange hairs that really pop. When you smoke up you can expect a sweet, fruity pull with some earthy, minty notes in there too. The nugs are densely packed together, so if you don’t smoke that often go easy when loading up your blunts and bowls.

Smoke Summary

As you would expect from a high-THC indica-dominant strain, Girl Scout Cookies will settle you in for a warm, elated rest. It’ll take your stresses, depression, and pains away for a release of several hours. One enthusiastic patron recommended Pink Floyd as an accompaniment, though this writer thinks pairing GSC with just about anything will only enhance your watching/jamming/chilling/sleeping experience. Only hit it if you don’t have any plans for the rest of the evening.
