It's easy to get cynical about strain hype - is it truly like God is licking you, or just a well-done marketing scheme? After experiencing Gelato last week (a close relative of Cookies) it dawned on me: when it comes down to it, everyone is relatively the same. Strains don't get hype randomly; there is usually a distinct taste or effect that the strain provides. I'm thinking OG (that unique sour tang + weighty cerebral thooooomp), Blue Dream (racey, euphoric, but most of all: legitimately blue-looking (vaguely, in certain lighting) and a taste like no other. BD isn't a pesonal favorite - although I'd say one San Jose batch I procured was out-of-this-world good and I realized I'd just been smoking "solid" Blue Dream. GSC (are we just calling it 'Cookies' these days?) probably reached that level in recent years. When I say 'dense' I mean like, unfathomably dense. The densest nugs I've ever seen. Probably. They are never-ending, and while the high isn't, it puts you in an uplifted, dream-like, focused state. A bit zen in a way. Low anxiety. Moderate munchie cravings but not severe. Just a pleasant strain to smoke all around, despite its nearly unparalleled strength. This is the kind of stuff you break out amongst friends, and you all float around in this squinty, floaty GMO Cookies bubble. It's really quite nice. VERDICT: GMO Cookies is extremely potent, extremely dense, juicy and yet... sort of spicy and cheesy. It's f****** good stuff. If its ever floating around, do yourself a favor and try it out. Just don't smoke it before work. SCORE: 9.5/10
