GMO THCa Flower

GMO Strain History:

GMO is a hybrid cannabis variety produced by crossing Chemdawg and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). 

Both of its parents are hybrids too, but Girl Scout Cookies is already Indica-forward—contributing more of that powerful Indica effect through breeding. Thus, GMO (also known as Garlic Cookies) was born.

The Effects of GMO

Because of the selective breeding to achieve GMO coupled with its parents’ already high potency, GMO is a strong experience. It is most commonly associated with profound euphoria thanks to its very high THC concentration—typically anywhere from 28% to 35%. The body high is something that many users enjoy, which induces heavy relaxation and leaves people content to lounge and rest.

Because GMO is so high in THC, it’s best reserved for those who have some experience with potent strains already. If you are just starting out in your cannabis journey and want to try GMO Garlic Cookies, you should begin with a very small dose to make sure that you have an enjoyable experience.

Users report that the effects of GMO come on quickly—sometimes as soon as a few minutes after smoking. The euphoria and sleepiness fade relatively quickly as well, but not so fast as to make you feel like you’re crashing. Despite this, the overall length of the experience is longer than average.

GMO is popular in the medical marijuana field to relieve stress, anxiety, insomnia and pain. It causes deep relaxation and sleepiness.

Flavor and Experience

The potency of the THC is not the only strong element of GMO. Its flavor is also pungent and powerful; most people describe it as a mixture of diesel or even onion, with a garlic flavor that seems to linger in the mouth (and the room) for a while. That being said, it’s best consumed privately or in an area where the smell will not cause discomfort for others.

If you choose to use GMO as an edible, be aware that its strong and lingering flavors work better in savory or complementary items rather than sweets. Something like biscuits, pretzels, cannabutter or even drink mixers work better with the pungent and seemingly spicy flavor of GMO Garlic Cookies rather than sweet items like brownies and chocolate.
