Ice Cream Cake

Ice Cream Cake is an extremely delicious strain that tastes like sweet icing stacked on top of frozen berries. It was bred by the famous Seed Junky Genetics, so you already know it’s some fire. 

Ice Cream Cake’s indica-dominant genetics cross two of the cannabis community’s most popular strains: Wedding Cake and Gelato #33, giving it sweet, gassy, and berry flavors. Consumers usually feel super stoned and lazy in the body after consuming this strain. 

Leafly reviewers say Ice Cream Cake’s most common effects are feeling relaxed, happy, and euphoric.

Kush Mints

Kush Mints is trending as of late. Another heavy-hitter from Seed Junky, this popular cultivar was bred by crossing Animals Mints with Bubba Kush. The result produces a balanced hybrid known for minty and earthy flavors, and a potent high that starts in the head and quickly grows into a full-body experience.

GMO Cookies

GMO Cookies. (Cream of the Crop Gardens)

In my opinion, GMO Cookies is one of the best weed strains that ever existed. No matter what grower or company I buy it from, it always smacks. That goes for its flower, its hash, and its vape pens. If you want a super potent indica-dominant strain that will make you blob out and smile for hours, you will rarely be led astray by Garlic Cookies.

GMO Cookies is Chemdog crossed with GSC. It has the funkiest, skunkiest, most garlicky flavor that will ever bless your taste buds, and the effects are *chef’s kiss*. Whether taking a few tokes off a joint or a dab straight to the facial, GMO is certain to hit your entire mind, body, and spirit with a dose of relaxation that makes sitting inside while outside temperatures drop much more enjoyable. 

Though lauded for being potent yet not sleepy, if you smoke too much GMO Cookies, you’re definitely taking a nap. See also: Pure Michigan.
