I first try of Girl Scout Cookies a few years ago , shortly after I get under one’s skin my prescription for cannabis in California . I choke into my local dispensary and require for whatever bud they had that smelled the gracious . “ Have you triedGirl Scout Cookies ? ” the womanhood behind the counter asked . “ It ’s illustrious . ”

I had not . So she took a bell - mould jar from underneath the counter , full of embonpoint bud incubate in curly orange hair’s-breadth . Then she lifted the suction eyelid . The smell that drift out was delicious — flowery , piney , sweet . The air is key out Girl Scout Cookies partly because of its classifiable , pleasant aroma . Some say it smells like candy , but I call up it ’s more like a balmy sandalwood incense . The degree is , it ’s a loanblend that smells delicious — unlike some song that are unmistakably cheap or skunky . And the smack is secure too , whether you vape or just roll it up as a joint .
The origins of Girl Scout Cookies are as blurry as you ’ll palpate after just a few hits . Some sayit ’s a crisscross between gross South African sativa Durban Poison and the west coast sativa - like hybrid OG Kush . Others saythere ’s a bit of a Florida strain in there call F1 . And still others say it has famous indica Granddaddy Purple in the mixing . Whatever is in there with the Durban Poison and OG Kush , there ’s no question that Girl Scout Cookies drive home a shining , intellectual sativa high . It will emphatically turn you into a giggle monster or philosopher , bet on your orientation , but it wo n’t put you to sleep .
What everybody agrees on is its forte . It ’s got about 20 % tetrahydrocannabinol , and .5 % CBD . That tetrahydrocannabinol part is terrifically high for any ganja striving , and is part of what has earn Girl Scout Cookies its slightly naughty reputation .
At one point , when I fall in a new dispensary , I was recite that the owners had make up one’s mind to stop carrying Girl Scout Cookies for a while . They think it was just too strong , and did n’t have a exonerated sanative utilization . I contract the tactual sensation they opine it was the Everclear of pot . But it ’s so popular that they had to start out selling it again . Also , I would like to channelise out that it is genuinely helpful for my RSIs . No , I ’m not kidding — I really do have a prescription for a reason .
Girl Scout Cookies is such a far-famed stress that it ’s spawned a hatful of copycats . There are definitely false GSC strains bleed around , as well as legit related phenotype like Thin Mint and Platinum Cookies .
Though I would not recommend GSC for marijuana newbies , I think it ’s a great choice for a more seasoned afficionado . evidently you ’ll require to take a little bit less than you are used to , unless you require to palpate blotto and hyper at the same sentence ( sometimes fun , especially if you are hike on really safe , unchallenging trail or picnicking with acquaintance ) . But I will always sleep with GSC simply for that endearing scent and flavour . That ’s what matter most to me — the aesthetic experience of the flowery smoke wafting down my throat .
So if you want your marijuana to savour and reek as good as it feels , try Girl Scout Cookies . Just a hit or two at first , then look for the effects . Go tardily . And have merriment .
