my favorite strain after Critical Mass (Try to find it, but that's another discussion).  This is one of the main reasons I went from a very high level of opiods to below the federal level.

    At some point we need a discussion about the availability of strains, or ability to order them for medical patients!

This is a standard staple for me in my collection. This one is good for mid-day hits or after dinner/late session focus. This one has a strong hit then tapers off slow and low for the long haul.

Very helpful with my PTSD. Relaxed and chill but am able to get up and get things done if need be.

Packed a fat bowl, smoked through bong. Instant head high, and nice body relaxation. Potent and tasty.  Felt energized and ready to take on the day.  Nice indica and sativa strain.

This strain is one of my all-time favorite strains. It always smells and tastes so sweet and the high is one that can't be beat. It combines the best of both worlds by providing a solid body high that isn't overwhelmingly heavy while also providing an energetic and sometimes psychedelic head high. I generally don't smoke a huge amount of flower because I also do dabs but when i get ahold of this strain in flower I struggle not to smoke it all immediately.

Love this strain for after work... helps melt the day away

This was my first time using a flower.  I used Magic Butter extractor. I infused it with coconut oil. I have never been high before. So my first experience was after 30 minutes my music started to sound really good LOL I was to High. 2 tsp in my coffee (Keto). I have determined as a new user I am sensitive to THC but I need it to help with pain. CBD and THC blends work ok but I need something in between GSC. New users FYI

<p>Bred by Humboldt&rsquo;s Redwood Roots Family, Grandma Anderson&rsquo;s Cookies was created by crossing an unknown Kush with <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/gsc">GSC</a>. This indica-dominant hybrid smells like fresh cookies with sweet citrus undertones, while the flavor offers a smooth, earthy sweetness with sharp chocolate notes. The high is heavy and slow, making it a perfect strain for relaxing your mind after a long day of work.&nbsp;</p>


Grandma Anderson’s Cookies

<p>Caramel Kona Coffee Cookies by Pua Mana 1st Hawaiian Pakalolo Seed Bank is an immensely heavy indica-leaning hybrid. As the name suggests, this flower reeks of burnt sugar, doughy earth, and tropical flora. The flavor is as sweet and caramel&nbsp;as the aroma, but with spicy notes of hash on the finish. Caramel Kona Coffee Cookies was created by crossing Pua Mana&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/caramel-kona-coffee-kush">Caramel Kona Coffee Kush</a> and Herban Tribe&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/girl-scout-cookie">GSC</a> Forum Cut. This <a href="https://www.leafly.com/news/strains-products/what-is-kush-marijuana">Kush-heavy</a> combination hits the body like an avalanche, leveling stress and worry to the ground. As this intense physical sensation dissipates, it is replaced by mental and physical elation that elevates the mood, making it ideal for social gatherings or dark winter nights.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.6em">For all you football and crazy commercial enthusiasts out there,<strong> <a href="http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/49">the big game</a></strong> is this Sunday and as the national media frenzy swirls around NFL players, it grabs hold of anything worth mentioning,&nbsp;from <strong><a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2014/story/_/id/12242300/marshawn-lynch-get-fined-nfl-wearing-beastmode-hat-super-bowl-media-day-sources-say">what hat a player wears</a></strong> to their <strong><a href="http://blogs.seattletimes.com/take2/2015/01/27/super-bowl-xlix-snappy-answers-to-stupid-media-questions/">thoughts on Katy Perry</a></strong>. In fact, this year&nbsp;even a cannabis strain has captured the media&#039;s attention.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.6em">You may have already caught wind of the reports of a new strain of cannabis named Beast Mode 2.0 in honor of the&nbsp;Seattle Seahawks&rsquo; star running back Marshawn Lynch.&nbsp;</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em">Everyone from </span><strong style="line-height: 1.6em"><a href="http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2022764427_potbeastxml.html">local newspapers</a></strong><span style="line-height: 1.6em"> to </span><strong style="line-height: 1.6em"><a href="http://www.tmz.com/2015/01/20/marshawn-lynch-weed-beastmode-marijuana-seahawks-super-bowl/">TMZ</a></strong><span style="line-height: 1.6em"> and </span><strong style="line-height: 1.6em"><a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2336629-seahawks-fan-names-new-beast-mode-20-marijuana-strain-after-marshawn-lynch">Bleacher Report</a></strong><span style="line-height: 1.6em"> have been reporting on the new strain. Most attribute it as just another cannabis marketing ploy, like the one Peyton Manning </span><strong style="line-height: 1.6em"><a href="http://denver.cbslocal.com/2013/09/14/strains-of-pot-named-for-manning-brothers-peyton-not-happy/">squashed last year</a></strong><span style="line-height: 1.6em">, but I wanted to know more. So,&nbsp;I contacted Nate &ldquo;Diggity&rdquo; Johnson, owner of </span><strong style="line-height: 1.6em"><a href="http://www.leafly.com/dispensary-info/green-umbrella">Green Umbrella</a></strong><span style="line-height: 1.6em">, to get an in depth look at the new strain.</span></p>
<p><img alt="Beast Mode 2.0 family tree" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/strain-highlight-beast-mode-20-makes-for-a-super-bowl-of-cannabis/TnWhGmBTT9mt91pu0KOP_Beast-Mode-2.0-Family-Tree.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/indica/beast-mode-20">Beast Mode 2.0</a></strong> was developed after the success of another Beast Mode variety last year. The original Beast Mode strain, <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/beast-mode-og">Beast Mode OG</a></strong>, was a happy accident that occurred when Zion Gardens was gifted what they believed to be a cut of <a href="http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/girl-scout-cookie"><strong>GSC (f.k.a Girl Scout Cookies)</strong></a> from a source in Northern California. However, after flowering the clone&nbsp;they quickly realized that these were not GSC genetics, and by autumn of 2013 the plant was dried, cured, and ready for market. The team was certain their new strain was either a compelling but mysterious <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/hybrid">hybrid</a></strong> of <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/og-kush">OG Kush</a></strong>, or simply an exceptional <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/knowledge-center/cannabis-101/cannabis-genotypes-and-phenotypes-what-makes-a-strain-unique">phenotype</a></strong> of the superstar strain. After trying the strain for the first time, the growers&nbsp;decided that the potent effects hit hard much&nbsp;like Marshawn Lynch attacking&nbsp;a running lane on the football field.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.6em">After the success of both Beast Mode OG and the Seahawks&#039; championship run&nbsp;last year, Nate decided it was only proper to truly develop a strain from scratch that would align with the running style and personality of Seattle&rsquo;s beloved&nbsp;Beast Mode. Without much pushback or threat of legal action, he&nbsp;decided to pursue the project with the help of Grass Roots Pharm.</span></p>
<p><img alt="Beast Mode 1.0 Cannabis Strain Bud" height="667px" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/leafly-s3/content/strain-highlight-beast-mode-20-makes-for-a-super-bowl-of-cannabis/KLsQzPFlRXpLEItx9ME7_Beast Mode 1.0 (2).jpg" width="1000px" /></p>
<p>Beast Mode 2.0 was refined&nbsp;during the&nbsp;summer through selective breeding while working with <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/indica/master-kush">Master Kush</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/hybrid/white-fire-og">White Fire OG</a></strong> genetics. The end result is an <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/indica">indica</a></strong>-dominant hybrid that hits hard and <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/tags-relaxed">relaxes</a></strong> away <a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/symptoms-pain"><strong>pain</strong></a>, like the aches and agony defenders must feel after battling Beast Mode for four&nbsp;quarters. According to Green Umbrella, the strain has registered as high as 23% <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/knowledge-center/cannabis-101/understanding-cannabis-testing">THC</a></strong>, just shy of the number 24 that Marshawn wears.</p>
<p>The aroma of Beast Mode 2.0 is <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/flavors-tree-fruit">fruity</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/flavors-sweet">sweet</a></strong>. It has a <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/flavors-berry">berry</a></strong> note that sparks memories of fresh <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/flavors-blueberry">blueberry</a></strong> muffins, and produces an&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/flavors-earthy">earthy</a></strong> flavor of sweet <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/flavors-spicyherbal">herbs</a></strong> that is followed by a mellow <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#!/explore/flavors-pine">pine</a></strong> aftertaste that I attribute to the influence of OG Kush genetics.</p>
<p>The effects from the first bong toke are led by an instant rush of warmth to the forehead and ears. Shortly after, the muscles around my eyes loosened up and a calming indica wave extended&nbsp;down the spine, relaxing the lower extremities. The aggressive sedating properties are a great way to decompress at the end of a long day, but it might be best to avoid this strain when you are trying to cross things off your to-do list.</p>

<p>Currently Beast Mode 2.0 is only available medicinally in the Seattle area, with exclusive distribution handled by Nate at Green Umbrella. You can also find it at a few select dispensaries like <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/dispensary-info/greenside-medical">Greenside Medical</a></strong> in Lake City,&nbsp;Delta 9 in Wallingford, and Conscious Care in Ballard.</p>
<p>If you live in Seattle or if you come to visit, make sure to look out for both of the Beast Mode strains. And if you get a chance to try either of these (or any other exciting or effective strains) varieties, be sure to leave a review on the <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/review/beast-mode-20">strains&rsquo; detail page</a></strong>. If you don&rsquo;t think Beast Mode 2.0 is for you, you can&nbsp;find other <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore#/explore/sort-popular">popular strains</a></strong> on the <strong><a href="http://www.leafly.com/explore">Leafly Strain Explorer</a></strong>.

<p>Over the weekend, <em>High Times </em>awarded another round of trophies to growers and extract artists showing their best of the best. This year&#039;s Cup took place in Everett, Washington, a small city nestled in Washington&#039;s panorama of snowcapped mountains. Even the sun, typically shy to Washington state, came out of hiding to see another round of champions bloom before us. Check out which strains took home the bronze, silver, and gold this year! Did any of your favorites make the cut?</p>

<p>An underdog fanatic myself, I&#039;m pulling&nbsp;a Dayton-esque&nbsp;Maui Waui upset &#8212; I&#039;ve always liked her uptempo style. I&#039;m also calling nail biters on both the Green Crack/Northern Lights and Girl Sout Cookies/Pineapple Express&nbsp;showdowns &#8212; both feature stacked lineups and&nbsp;largely underrated strains. But alas, I bleed green as a ride-or-die OG Kush fan &#8212; can I get &quot;kush&nbsp;yeah&quot;?&nbsp;It&#039;s Sweet 16 time, baby, roll up!</p>

Get Ready for Leafly Strain Madness 2014!

This is one of my favorite strains!!!  I am a daily user and the effects for me are very strong and intense and, very enjoyable.  For me, mostly a head high.  It makes me talkative, happy, goofy and generally in good spirits.  I could still focus on tasks, as long as they weren't too complicated.  For me this is definitely a strain where you want to be in an unstructured or party environment.
I would suggest using this strain for pain relief as I think it is distracting and could take your mind off your pain.  I strongly encourage those who can handle the effects to use it for lack of appetite!!  I gain weight when using this strain for any period of a week or more, because I always get the munchies after using it.  Usually it takes two or three sessions, but after the effects are waning I become ravenous - especially for sugar and salt.
Definitely one of the better strains around in my opinion.

iraq war vet here,

hooah. just got back from my 7th tour of duty. ever since #2 i've had severe ptsd/major depression/schizophrenia. girl scout cookies really cleared most of it up for me. these meds are best used while writing lyrics.

was having a lot of pain in my body and now it is gone for as long as the meds are working. won't bring back 1st Class Private Ludin but it sure as hell made me forget about the day he left us.

This is what I've been smoking recently when I don't need to "do" anything. If you're like me, you'll want to make sure the floor is clear of tripping hazards, your laptop is away from your water, etc.
Set out some snacks before you start smoking, and make sure you're in a safe environment.
Hybrids generally put me in the couch more than Indica, but GSC makes fine motor skills especially hard. It's also especially dense, in my experience, which made eyeball-measuring my bowl difficult. The first time I smoked this I had a little too much. Stood up, got extremely dizzy (ears ringing, etc.), tried to put my bong back in a high cupboard, fainted, and ended up knocking over a box of crackers that my cat later peed on. It was a mess. (My bong was thankfully okay.)
If you're like me, don't hesitate to pack a small bowl and go back for another one if needed.

Great strain! True to Leafly's description, it WILL send your mind on a helluva journey! I've had this before a few times, but it seems like this time, it really shines! I strongly recommend smoking this out of a pipe or chillum. Anything with water in it like a bubbler or a bong just cuts down on its potency. Definitely use a small bowl pipe, you don't need alot of it if you're smoking by yourself.

It seems like it's similar to White Widow's effects, just more sharper and focused, and hits faster. You'll find yourself completely lost in your thoughts and still have enough functionality to get around in the house to do whatever you need to do before finally chilling and riding out the rest of the high. Like White Widow, its a great meditative strain, super-functional on the mental scale. It's like the strain has a very helpful mind of its own, guiding you closer to solutions of your own issues, kind of like what a Boy Scout or a Girl Scout would do with other people, always lending a helping hand. Learned a great deal as this somehow switched my mind around to the point it's like an ongoing Jeopardy! thing going on.

All in all, GREAT time with this strain! I should definitely look into growing some of my own! Watch out for the munchies, though. If you've had alot to eat beforehand, then you should be okay.

Smoke happy, friends!

This is a treat I rarely get to experience. Upon opening the package, an all-encompassing aroma washes over me, putting a grin immediately on my face. And it is so beautiful. Whoever made this needs medals. Lots of f*****g medals. After the first taste, happiness rushes in. So tasty. I can't believe what I am experiencing. It feels like I'm becoming a child again. A very focused child. Focused on eating that is! And now I have consumed too much and need to lie down. But seriously, next time someone comes to your door and asks if you want cookies. You say YES! Nothing like some Girl Scout Cookies. Samoas are my favorite.
... 
EDIT: Ohh.. the weed. Yea, that was good, too. For a full review, read this review again.

This is the most beautiful experience I have ever had. I don't feel worthy of the amazing journey this strain has afforded me. I've tried so many strains trying to find a feeling of happiness and this is it. This is heaven. This is life. I just feel so much love for the world. My entire body vibrates. I turned off the oven and decided not to binge eat so that I could meditate instead. Purity and comfort. Beautiful plant.

I first thought this strain was a bit weak or at least the batch I had. but then it creeps on you so hard! one of my favorite strains. I don't get the super munchies with it, but food some how tastes amazing no matter what. amazing anxiety reducer and it's a calm head high for me. you can get things done while smoking this strain, but also relax with it.

<p>OG Kush was first cultivated in Florida, in the early &lsquo;90s when a strain from Northern California was crossed with a <a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/hindu-kush">Hindu Kush</a> plant from Amsterdam. The result was a hybrid with a unique terpene profile that boasts a complex aroma with notes of fuel, skunk,&nbsp;and spice.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The genetic backbone of West Coast cannabis varieties, OG Kush arrived in Los Angeles in 1996 when Matt &ldquo;Bubba&rdquo; Berger brought it (along with &ldquo;The Bubba,&rdquo; which was later used to create the famed <a href="https://www.leafly.com/indica/bubba-kush">Bubba Kush</a>) from Florida to legendary cultivator Josh D. Since then, OG Kush has become a worldwide staple used to create numerous famous strains like <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/gsc">GSC</a> and <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/headband">Headband</a>. There are many different phenotypes of OG Kush, including <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/tahoe-og">Tahoe OG</a>, <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/sfv-og">SFV OG</a>, and <a href="https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/ghost-og">Ghost OG</a>.</p>
