This shit mightve killed me 2x jk. But in all seriousness this strain was absolutely amazing. Sticky as hell, smelled delicious, tasted like thin mint inhaling then the gg smell when exhaling. It was 33% thc so this stuff hypnotized me!!!! 10/10

Looking (waiting) for this strain in Toronto, but I don't think I have much of a chance at the present time...
I've yet to even HEAR someone mention it's parent strain, gorilla glue (any of the phenotypes) in my network. I'm sure that there are private cultivators, and maybe some of the small connoisseur grow circles, that have proper G.G. genetics somewhere in or around the city... but I've yet to come across it.
It's other parent strain, the famed girl scout cookies, shows up in my circle every couple months. Sometimes it's the thin mint cut, and has a menthol taste on the exhale. Other times it is the sweet dessert flavoured pheno (I personally prefer it over the thin mints). Either way when there's gsc around, it gets bought up very quickly.
Amazing strain.
Full review:
Visuals: 7/10 strength, 10/10 enjoyment
These visuals were pretty strong. When smoking, colours of the TV and LED lights increased in strength. It wasn’t anything ridiculous: when looking at your phone, it appeared brighter but not super intense - as opposed to some visual strains where it sucks you in. I really enjoyed the slight increase in saturation and brightness. It wasn’t crazy but it was great as an accompaniment to the main effects of the high.
Head effects: 5/10 strength, 10/10 mental clarity, 10/10 enjoyment
This was a strain where the overwhelming mental effect was an upbeat calmness. I still recognised some of the day’s previous bad thoughts whilst on the strain, but I saw such aspects from a different light after smoking this. You felt just positive, not ecstatic or super happy, not super amused or euphoric, but wholly calm and positive. It was a very nice change to the sometimes ‘artificial’ highs (as I like to call it) - the strains you get super happy on when smoking and then the next day you feel like shit. After smoking this, I felt noticeably more upbeat, positive and appreciative of life the next day. What was great in particular was the mental clarity. I smoked a good amount, yet could still maintain concentration on conversations, I could still articulate all my thoughts as I would do sober - yet I felt very high nonetheless. This weed encouraged me to relax, calm down and stop stressing. Life’s going to be okay. Whilst playing FIFA with my two mates when smoking, we were pissing ourselves laughing when we scored. But it didn’t last longer than it would sober: humour felt very natural, nothing was ridiculously more funny, but your general mood was definitely noticeably more upbeat. This feeling is very hard to properly articulate: you’ll know if you try.
Body: 8/10 strength, 2/10 couchlock, 2/10 sleepiness, 5/10 tingliness
Amazing for the body. This strain felt slightly more body concentrated. I remember just feeling comfortable in myself - I didn’t feel glued to the seat by any means, and I definitely didn’t feel sleepy. What resulted, in fact, was a warmth throughout your body: you didn’t feel utterly baked and unable to move. You weren’t looking or feeling like some stoner zombie. Instead you just felt chill, able to move if need be, able to relax and calm if you didn’t. There was a single moment when I felt a tingliness almost: as I moved my head, my eyes and my body felt out of sync (hard to articulate until you’ve had it). As I moved my eyes, my body moved slower than them so it was like a game of catch up. But that was only one moment that passed - hence my 5/10 for the tingliness score. The best way to describe it is comfortable: it didn’t feel like you lost control over your body or the high overwhelmed your body, but your body knew it was high and just felt immense comfort.
Overall score: 9/10
A very good strain for calm social situations, or perhaps on your own if you want to get some non-intense work done (i.e. I could imagine being creative on this strain but obviously I’m not going to write a document). The strain felt very calm, but not lacking optimism: it was upbeat (without the artificial ‘super happiness‘), warm, visual, focused and comfortable. I write as someone critical of weed strains and not easily impressed, but this cross definitely impressed me. It felt mature; it felt like the kind of weed a successful person would have after a hard day of work. You wake up feeling good. High ratings, I encourage you to try.
This strain is amazing. I can honestly say I was glued to my bed. I used this strain to treat anxiety and depression and it worked wonders. I would recommend this strain to anyone.
Very potent! Very! Normally it takes me 2 joints to feel my symptoms go away. I took 2 puffs and I'm on the ground it is really strong but knocked the shit out of my pain. I feel better and clear minded and stoned AF. Feeling like going to sleep now lol 😂
My reviews have a general response, then one from myself, and one from my partner to reflect our differing mental states.
GENERAL RESPONSE: Vaporized in a variety of ways, temp stepping from 157C up to 220C, and also just hitting it at 220C with a 0.1-0.2g elbow pack. Hits slowly, but when it hits, it hits pretty hard. A happy energetic head high that left us functional, conversational, attentive and creative.
MY RESPONSE (as someone with occasional depressive bouts):
POSITIVES: Super fucking chatty. Like I won't shut the fuck up. If you're an anxious person that gets chatty on some strains then you might find this a bit overwhelming, but for me it was just amusing. Also a very head-y and alert high, and found myself unsure if I was actually high until I tried to do things that required manual dexterity. Great for creativity, music production or the like.
NEGATIVES: Munchies. Not good for getting to sleep as you're too wired. Occasional headache during long sessions. Occasional low mood come-down the following day which I'm not too sure if it was due to other external factors or the strain, but its something to consider.
PARTER'S RESPONSE (as someone with anxiety):
POSITIVES: Attentive, alert and more active than other strains. Huge creative boost to someone who usually finds creative things like dancing, art, music challenging. (Observing my partner, they could suddenly dance and keep rhythm to music really well when usually they can't dance at all; wild!)
NEGATIVES: No paranoia but almost too much of a head high that makes you go back for more drags when you're already stoned as shit but don't realize.
Perfect hybrid strain for hanging out and for people who otherwise have social anxiety or get paranoid from smoking. I absolutely love this strain for days off, running errands, or anything where deep thought isn’t required.
I'm not as eloquent as most but this literally hit me like a ton of bricks then took me cloud surfing with th coolest Angel's you'll ever meet!
