If you’re looking for complex, robust flavors and seriously uplifting effects, Garlic Cookies may be the strain for you. Also known as GMO Cookies or GMO Garlic Cookies, this strain packs a potent punch and a cornucopia of aromas and flavors, offering quite a bit to enjoy.
In this review, we’ll take a look at what you can expect from Garlic Cookies, similar strains that can offer a comparable experience, and the products available at Boone Town Provisions dispensary.
The effects: What to expect when you try Garlic Cookies
Garlic Cookies is often celebrated among consumers for its euphoric and relaxing effects, which are usually enough to put even the most antsy consumer into a meditative state. Expect a deep body high with feelings of buoyancy and happiness after consuming Garlic Cookies. Don’t be surprised if you can’t help but curl up and take a cozy nap, too.
Garlic Cookies is a particularly potent strain, making it a good choice for consumers with high tolerances. This strain’s THC content sometimes exceeds 30%. Consume accordingly; new or infrequent smokers should go slow with this strain.
Is the Garlic Cookies strain indica or sativa?
Garlic Cookies is an indica-dominant hybrid that leans heavily toward the indica side of its genetics. It’s a cross between GSC and Chemdawg, both of which are also indica-dominant hybrids.
GSC was bred by crossing OG Kush with F1 Durban, resulting in a deeply relaxing and euphoric indica-dominant hybrid. Meanwhile, Chemdawg’s origins are steeped in mystery, reportedly coming from a Northern California bag seed. The result was a strain that is the forefather of many popular varieties, including OG Kush and Sour Diesel. Chemdawg is known for its euphoric high with relaxing and tingly body effects.
The euphoria and relaxation characteristics of both these strains are evident in Garlic Cookies as well, which takes their potency to the next level. If you’re looking for more THC with the same basic effects that each of these strains offer, Garlic Cookies is your best bet.
Garlic Cookies cannabinoid profile
Garlic Cookies is a potent strain, typically ranging from 26% to 32% THC content. In addition to its high levels of THC, the Garlic Cookies strain also contains a significant amount of Cannabigerol (CBG). This cannabinoid is often associated with uplifting and euphoric strains, and Garlic Cookies certainly delivers on that front.
Terpene profile, flavor, and aroma
The Garlic Cookies strain contains significant levels of caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene, three common terpenes that often appear alongside one another in many cannabis strains.
Here’s what you can expect from each:
- Caryophyllene: This terpene is distinguished by a warm, spicy bouquet that brings to mind cracked black peppercorns and aromatic wood. Caryophyllene stands out among terpenes for a fascinating reason: it’s the sole terpene discovered so far that can directly engage with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), much like cannabinoids. This unique property, combined with its reported ability to ease anxiety and discomfort, makes it particularly intriguing for therapeutic applications.
- Limonene: This vibrant terpene produces bright citrus notes, reminiscent of fresh lemon zest. Beyond its refreshing aroma and taste, limonene has caught the attention of cannabis enthusiasts for its potential to enhance mental clarity and emotional well-being. Many users specifically seek out limonene-rich varieties in hopes of experiencing its uplifting and focus-promoting qualities.
- Myrcene: The deep, earthy character of myrcene, touched with subtle fruit undertones, sets the stage for this terpene’s effects. Celebrated for its potential to promote deep relaxation and ease physical tension, myrcene is often associated with anti-inflammatory benefits and muscle-soothing properties. Some cannabis connoisseurs suggest it may amplify THC’s effects, potentially leading to a more pronounced overall experience.
In Garlic Cookies, the terpene profile combines to produce some unique scents and flavors. As the name suggests, a pungent, garlicky aroma and taste is very noticeable. And, thanks to the high levels of caryophyllene in this strain, you can expect an infusion of black pepper to the aroma and flavor as well.
Similar strains to Garlic Cookies
If Garlic Cookies sounds up your alley but you want something slightly different or can’t find it at your local dispensary, these strains are also good options.
GSC
If Garlic Cookies is just a bit too potent for you but you really like its effects, GSC represents a subtle step down on the potency scale. Its average THC content of 25% is still pretty strong, but won’t overwhelm like the strongest batches of Garlic Cookies. It still provides the same euphoric, relaxing experience. Instead of a nap, though, you might end up with a case of the munchies — so keep your pantry well stocked!
Chemdawg
Chemdawg is the least potent of the Garlic Cookies family, offering an average THC content of 18%. This makes it the perfect choice for consumers who find Garlic Cookies and GSC to be too powerful, offering a muted high with the same euphoric and relaxing head-and-body high these strains offer. You’ll likely feel a bit more energized by this strain too, so if you’re not looking to be totally couch-locked, Chemdawg is a good option.
Blueberry Pancakes
This indica-dominant hybrid strain offers moderate THC potency with the same relaxing and uplifting vibes that Garlic Cookies and its parent strains are known for. If the high THC potency of Garlic Cookies leaves you feeling anxious, though, you may consider Blueberry Pancakes as a lower-THC alternative. Expect syrupy sweet and tart flavors from this strain, an enjoyable twist as you relax both body and mind.
