GSC, also known as "Girl Scout Cookies" or simply Cookies, is an indica-dominant hybrid marijuana strain from the California breeder Jigga who crossed a sub-type of OG Kush with an intermediate strain called F1 Durban. This popular strain is known for producing euphoric effects, followed up by waves of full-body relaxation. One hit of GSC will leave you feeling happy, hungry, and stress-free. This strain features a robust THC level of 25% and is best reserved for experienced cannabis consumers. Those with a low THC tolerance should take it slow with GSC as the effects of the strain may be overwhelming. The high THC content in GSC is beloved by medical marijuana patients looking for quick relief from symptoms associated with chronic pain, nausea, and appetite loss. GSC is famous for its pungent, dessert-like aroma & flavor profile featuring bold notes of mint, sweet cherry, and lemon. The average price per gram of GSC is $11. This strain has won numerous accolades and awards over the years, including a few Cannabis Cups. Because GSC has reached legendary status among the cannabis community at large, you can find many variations of this sought-after strain, including Thin Mint (aka Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies) and Platinum GSC (aka Platinum Girl Scout Cookies).

Such a popular strain, and it's for good reason. This strain has been incredible for my severe nausea nothing else seems to help it. It's also one of the only strains that can help diminish some of my migraine pain. This strains always acted like an indica for me except with more euphoria. GSC is literally good any time, day or night! ❤️

Packed a small bowl like 75 mg ~ 100 mg of grounded herb in my xmax v3 pro and must say the complex flavors I could swear I tasted like a dark berry mixed in minty chocolate dowsed with a lil bit of og kush fragrance. The vapors produced were loud and misty, it was smooth as well. A modern day classic and a modern legend that is the backbone of many exotic strains. I am ecstatic that I was able to get it even though it was smalls (b-buds) / popcorn nugs. Don't let the smaller nugs scare you away, these pack a punch 👊... GSC now known as Cookies is the real deal. I suspect my cut of cookies was grown in the sun potentially could be light deps not sure. Tested pretty good about 26~27% THC and like 28~29% Cannabinoids. It's a sweet minty chocolate berry nutty herbal kush. I can see why cookies remains king. Even as smalls it smacks. Had another cut that was big outdoor nugs.

Harvested 8-12-24 by OI Processing, MI., Branded: Higher Love. Sweet vanilla dough, dry dusty Indica dirt, hint of sweet hay: sparkling trichomes, long fuzzy orange hairs, light green buds, black raspberry postules, dense spongy buds, thick black raspberry postules make some buds darker than others in the harvest. Typical looking Indica spade/shoulders. Smooth dusty hydro flavor similar to Super Boof or Sub Zero. They lost some flavors in the hydro-grow chasing the ThC %. Relaxed, calm, no focus, munchies, tingly, total body high, pain relief, dry mouth, no focus floating, pain relief. No nose tingle, dirt, sweet Indica dirt, sweet hay, no pine, no citrus, no eye pressure. Not quite World Class due to lack of unique flavors. A very happy, pain free, euphoric Indica cannabis that is recommended at 5 stars.
