Monster Cookies reviews

I would rate this one higher; but I've discovered that I don't share the same affection for the Cookies strains as others do. That being said, the effects offer pain relief and euphoria that a medical patient (or someone in pain) would desire. My only beef with this and all 🍪 strains is that they are harsh on the windpipe and lungs. The smoke is never pleasant even with soft or shorter pulls. Not saying it's an awful experience, just that it's not very gentle on the lungs. Perhaps vaping it would be different but smoking is a different story.

I use cannabis primarily for anxiety, pain, depression (or mania) insomnia and muscle spasms. I have bipolar disorder (Type 1, Severe), with social and general anxiety disorders. I've tried several different strains, but this one is probably my least favorite so far. It'll quell an anxiety attack either just after or just before it really gets rolling. It's alright for insomnia, and will let me stay awake if I need to. It's pretty good with pain. Similar to a narcotic, it kills minor pain, but with major pain, such as a bad backache or in my case, knee pain, I still feel the pain; I just don't give a shit about it. It's great for depression. It instantly lifts my mood for a while, until I start to come down. The euphoria does hit first, the 20% sativa acting more quickly than the 80% indica of the strain, leaving my mind able to accept the body-high. It relaxes me, but not enough that I *have* to take a nap. It gives me a brief case of the giggles, which I like. It disconnects me from the things around me, and I do, in fact, feel more introspective, and it usually inspires me to shut the hell up. (This is a blessing for others, I'm sure.) The spacey feeling also sets in. This stuff doesn't hit as quickly as some strains. But once it does, it washes over me nicely. The coughing is pretty nasty. It's like I can't stop. And the scent is STRONG. Normally, my house doesn't smell like pot very often, what with four cigarette smokers in the house (I'm the heaviest smoker), and the whole house just REEKS of the stuff. It smells like a Weezer concert. However, there are some definite drawbacks for me. When coming down, it seems like the anxiety and depression that was initially stopped comes back with a vengeance. Some strains that have paranoia or anxiety as negative effects sometimes don't affect me, but this one did. Hard. I had myself a nice little freakout and I tend to be cranky and bitchy after the comedown. For insomnia, it isn't great. Yes, I can get to sleep when I'm supposed to, but the sleep isn't nearly as deep as I could get with other strains. It calms the muscle spasms in my legs I often get when I'm trying to get to sleep, but not as much as others. It also leaves me groggy. And crabby. Those around me have noticed that I don't have a spectacularly good reaction to this one. And once it was pointed out to me, I noticed that after three days of smoking this stuff (tried morning, afternoon and evening), it has become patently obvious that this is not the strain for me. Naturally, because of my brain chemistry, it's possible that this is only a "me" thing. But usually when trying new strains, the properties that are listed for a particular strain are remarkably close to what I'm "supposed" to experience. This stuff will do in a pinch, but I wouldn't personally use it for the symptoms I listed for myself because the side effects far outweigh the benefits for me.

The best of both worlds...purple And GSC!!!

Very Good strain gives you a great body high to relax after a long day at work .. if your in So Cal by Oxnard Order it off Skunkmasters really great bud

Already a loyal GSC follower I was eager to try another member of the family. Perfect for lazy mornings Monster Cookies had me worry free and both body and mind at ease, just don't be surprised if you find yourself eating an entire box of Eggos as my stomach felt bottomless!

Good but... Sweet smelling with a nice non-harsh smoke to it. What I picked up actually had seeds in it but it did not negatively impact the herbs smokability. Good body high with minimal munchies.

Concentrate*-my first experience with concentrate. My daughter brought it for me to try for intractable pain. Bless her heart as I am now a convert. Knocked me on my butt for a bit but after an hour or so allowed me get up and put around the house a little. pain relief started at my toes then slowly worked it's way up to my face...ahh. No paranoia, no munchies, wide awake though at bed time.

hands down .. best anxiety relieving indica !!
