Phantom Cookies reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Phantom Cookies.
TL;DR Lower Dosages create a euphoric and happy feeling (Thanks to its parent Cherry Pie). Come down is sleepy (Thanks to GDP). If you've tried both GDP and Cherry Pie, this is THE example child-hybrid. Taste is okay vaped, but it's nothing special. This strain is a creeper. Getting really high creates a surreal effect that only seasoned marijuana users will be able to handle. 5/5 Love this strain and would recommend vaping/smoking it.

(Smoking aprox. .3-.4 g)(I have major anxiety and depression)
(Been smoking/vaping for 3 months as of about now)
I got mine from Amsterdam's Garden (So this review is of medical-grade cannabis) and it's been a really good high. Dense nugs and very sticky. It tastes great on a vaporizer (using the crafty for reference). Tastes mostly nutty a bit earthy. With it being so dense, it gets hard to hold in the vapor sometimes. For those who dont mind a little coughing after their hit, this strain can get you to a very strong high very quickly.
The actual high is very relaxing. I notice a definite high in the body as well as the mind A sorta distracted high. However, you're still able to get things done, At higher dosages however, be warned that this strain will get you "fucked up" where the only way I can describe it is as "the typical stoner high". There's definitely a euphoria in this high, and you can feel your problems melt away on each exhale. There's also a happiness to it. A little bit of a smile, sometimes for no reason other than the realization that you're so high. At higher dosages (about 10-12 hits for me of pretty big hits) you start to get a hungry feeling also known as "the munchies." It's also at this point that the dry mouth or "cotton mouth" starts up. It's not too bad, as I haven't even needed to grab a sip of water while writing all this, but it's noticeable. Let me say again that if you're looking for a really good "active/get up and do things" strain this is NOT the strain for you (try looking at some Sativas instead). The indica of the hybrid is really representing itself at higher dosages. There's a bit of a playfulness to this strain though, so it feels like a good social strain (though sadly while I am writing this I have no company :( ). Like I said before, simple motor tasks are made more difficult under this strain (it was hard for me to get the wrapper off of a Ben&Jerry's) while mental work is more available (I'm able to somewhat coherently put together this moment-by-moment review).
All in all, this strain is 5/5 fantastic. It tastes great, it does its job, and makes those relaxing hours with friends or playing games better. A word of caution: BE CAREFUL SMOKING THIS STRAIN BEFORE SLEEPING. The effects of this strain are not very conducive to sleeping (I had a rough patch the first time I smoke this where I couldn't sleep because I had this turbulence-like feeling welling up within me and scaring me with a rush). Whether this is just me genetically or the batch that I bought or how much I vaped (which was about .45 g) or whatever, just be cautious of using this before bedtime (So this is a good lazy-day strain where you can use it in the day and do some easy mental tasks (or none at all, whatever you fancy)). I bought mine for $60 (1/8), and I'd say it's well worth the money for the high.
Take every review with a grain of salt. While my experiences are as I said, every person reacts in their own ways to cannabis.
I had this live resin a few days ago, and my gosh it's TERP sauce. The pure freshness and subtle sweetness in this strain blew me away. I was even more pleased with how the high creeped in and just hit me. More of a recreational strain, and would not recommend to anyone with anxiety. However this was by far one of the best nug runs I've ever tried. (Oregon genetics, 81%THC)
Phantom Cookies is not always sativa, but it has Phantom×any number of cookies...the one i've got is bay platinum cookies...which has very little GDP influence thus it leans sativa. I would say they're mostly 50/50 ...basically, you could get a durban poison pheno, a cherry pie pheno, a OGK pheno, a GDP pheno(which would be indica)...I personally think properly grown, cured Phantom Cookies is highly desirable. My brother always grows from seed and so far 4/5 have been Sativa dominant very tall stretch and longer flowering time, not much purple, and smells mainly earthy, roasted nuts, cherries, and a little minty...Cannabis is like having a family...your brother could look nothing like you, but have traits from your mothers sister you just never know. I believe my brother has 1 seed left and the pheno we kept is Awesome..don't need very much and is euphoric at first yet also relaxing like an indica
This is a good strain choice for active people. In my experience, I felt creative, somewhat energetic, and had pain relief. Great choice for daily activities. Found myself cleaning the house, making music, and doing errands.

very strong fruity aroma. hard to put my finder on at first, but i think mango would be a good comparison. Buds are pretty dense but aren't rocks either - it's surprisingly soft and easy to break up the leaves. taste is mild, not as intense as the more citrousy strains.
relocating from the west coast to the east coast can be hard... I had the pleasure of finding this strain in Washington DC and it is quickly becoming my favorite while I'm out here on this side of the country. if you get a chance to try it I suggest you do. flavorful crisp hits and a terrific High.

I've had this strain before 2013 and it has NONE to little GDP influence. I can understand the confusion. Cherry Pie crossed with GDP would definitely have GDP traits considering Cherry Pie is half GDP in itself...Real " Phantom" Cookies is OGK × Phantom × Cookies..."Phantom" is a strain on it's own. Like I previously mentioned Bay Platinum Cookies × Phantom is what my brother has mastered and grows very much like OGK (tall fast stretch and longer flowering period) The buds are dense, trich'd out to the max and when pinched or exposed to cold air a whiff of mint or faint berry can be detected. GDP crossed with Cherry Pie would 1000% be indica dominant
