Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) Strain: Effects, Flavor, Terpenes & Products

Girl Scout Cookies, now usually called GSC, came out of the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 2000s and became one of the most influential strains of the modern era.

A large share of today's popular hybrids — Gelato, Sunset Sherbet-line crosses, Lemon Cherry Gelato and more — trace back to it.

GSC is generally reported as OG Kush × Durban Poison and is associated with the Cookie Fam collective. Several named phenotypes exist, such as Thin Mint and Forum Cut.

GSC is sold as a hybrid. Different phenotypes can lean in different directions.

Sweet, doughy and earthy, with a hint of mint in some cuts — hence the 'cookies' name.

Caryophyllene, limonene and humulene are commonly associated with GSC. Phenotype and grow conditions change the profile.

• Limonene

There is no single THC percentage for Girl Scout Cookies. Potency varies by cultivator, phenotype, harvest and lab, so the only reliable number is the one on the Certificate of Analysis for the specific batch you're buying. Any live Good Grades product below shows its own tested THC where the data is available.

Commonly reported effects include a happy, euphoric mood alongside full-body relaxation.

Effects vary by person, dose, tolerance and product, and nothing here is medical advice.
