I don’t care about strains 90% of the time but this is the first time I’ve been blown away. Calm, giggly, but focused and present enough to do art and dance to music.
Classic strain,very high THC levels. I'm a heavy smoker and this strain helps tremendously with my knee joint pain.
I learned something incredible today. I was flipping around Amazon Prime trying to figure out how best to kill off the rest of my Saturday of cat-sitting at my soon-to-be ex-wife’s house, when I came across the suggested title "Yes – Songs from Tsongas," a live concert film.
The concert starts and I'm hearing new things. I’ve been listening to Yes for decades, and I’ve heard these songs countless times, but tonight, watching this video, I’m just picking up on all this extra stuff. And it got me thinking about Yes really deeply .
Then it hits me: none of these guys are Mozart. You can tell by the way they play, especially live, that they have to work really hard to play the things that they write. It’s complicated music originally written and performed by very young men, comparatively speaking. Now, as grandparents, they can still play it, but you get the sense that it takes a great deal of effort just just to hang on. What I’m saying is you can see the work that it is for them.
That’s when I realize a thing about famous people that I never understood before.
People like me see what famous people do as something one can only do if you're born with a little extra....something. And, sure, there are plenty of examples of prodigies who clearly have some god-given talent from birth. Mozart. Bobby Fischer. Stephen Hawking.
But this Yes concert made me realize that that’s only true for a microscopic cohort of famous people. For the vast majority of humanity, the difference between the people who watch TV (like me) and the people who are being watched (like Yes) almost completely comes down to one thing: a willingness to do an extraordinary amount of work. Because that specific work brings you joy, even as you're failing at the onset. You become obsessed with mastering this thing you are driven to. The journey to be great at something fuels your soul.
Because the pursuit, and the breakthroughs, provide you with the most joy you can imagine. The joy is so essential to your being that you’re willing to go on the road for half a century and it’s not all about the money. It’s because it made you really happy to be this awesome at something.
I’m terrible at a great many things. And only very late in my life did I decide to really make as extraordinary an effort as I possibly could trying to get better at something. The feeling of elation you get when you do this, when you stick with it through all of the doubt and failure to achieve even microscopic gains, is the reward. And it's worth it.
So I’m watching Yes and I see five people who could’ve been any of us, but they’re the only ones who tried hard enough to get there. So hard that, most likely, other parts of their lives weren’t nearly as successful. But if we knew what it felt like, and how this feeling is only accessible to you when you're willing to try obnoxiously hard to do it, how many more of us would achieve something more than what we've done with our lives?
So yeah, get yourself a one-hitter and pack it a little GMO. Get yourself a Greek salad, and prepare to come face-to-face with your inadequacy, like me. But in a good way.
I have started a social shift on the name of this strain. as word of mouth conscious acronym rearrangement Garlic-Mushroom-Onion that’s what GMO stands. when I light up this fine flower my brain immediately goes to O-M-G sounds better then GMO ( you have to know that GMO gives everybody a immediately negative thought about genetically modified foods and how bad they are for you) so why not take the negativity away from the strain and call it OMG-onion mushroom garlic, makes more sense to me. I’ll never stop smoking it but I don’t call it GMO just because It’s nothing like that. It’s not a chemical flushed Herb it is a beautiful stony and aromatic combo, join me in refusing to call it GMO any longer
### 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 ;)
I was hesitant to try GMO at first but it’s a smooth smoke that made me feel uplifted with my first hesitant toke. Once I was more confident that it wasn’t going to produce much anxiety I smoked more and found it to be a nice herbal, and indeed garlicky flavor that wasn’t too pungent.
The buds are about the size of my thumb, fairly dense and well frosted with pretty orange hairs. They are quite stinky but not as loud as one might think.
All in all it’s a satisfying strain that may have some benefits for pain. It can be sedating, perfect for a day in watching TV and chilling. A Sunday strain if you will, good for when you want to relax and feel nice. But it will knock you tf out if you smoke too much.
Bless
Really smooth hitting, very tasty! really helped with pain and nausea, like right away. definitely a new favorite
I'm a daily consumer smoking flower and eating my homemade edibles. You will still taste this 15 minutes after you smoke it. A garlic diesel flavor to me. I use to deal with chronic pain (multiple health issues) and my bi polar and I was feeling good after smoking this. Made a batch of gummies. A lil dry mouth but I've had worse for sure in that area.
