### Review: GMO Cookies
I was about to give this strain a 3, but I'll give it a 4. Let me explain.
I've been warned about how different this strain is. I'm 300 lbs but a lightweight in terms of getting high, which in the end, I'm thankful for because I realize how much money I save monthly. I prepped a joint that was around 0.7g, which usually lasts me about a week, and even longer if I have another strain around.
I took a huge puff, which was about two regular puffs. Five minutes later, I usually feel something, but this time I felt nothing. However, 15 minutes later, I felt relaxed. Twenty minutes in, I suddenly felt a very strange sensation. All my body muscles became very heavy, especially my back and chest. I felt dizzy and went to lie down. Then I felt a strong wave of energy coming hard from the core of my body, and I started to panic and have anxiety.
I wear a heart rate monitor and know my heart rate goes up depending on the dosage when I smoke cannabis. Usually, it gets around 95-110 bpm and stays that way for about 10 minutes, but this time it went to 144 bpm! I surely had a panic attack.
All of the hard times lasted 45 minutes, and it was not pleasant at all. Even trying to lie down was a challenge; I felt like I was being lifted, thrown, and trying to walk was a misery. I felt like I just did 100 sets of squats.
Two hours later, the effect settled down, and I felt huge peace and tranquility, which is what I was looking for. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and right now, the effect is still there. There are a lot of people around me while I'm typing this, and I feel good now.
I usually smoke Northern Lights, GrandDaddy Purple, or Death Star. Usually, one big hit of those makes me very sedated. I didn’t get any sedative effect at all from this one, which is why I give it a 4/5. For this strain, I'll smoke it like sipping red wine next time to avoid negative effects.
I will use it from time to time to wind down after work. However, it won’t be on my favorite list because the effect doesn't align with what I am looking for. I need something that calm and sedate me.
PS: My neck pain disappeared ;)
