Gary Payton
11/17/2024
Gary Payton (from Agro Couture) has been my favorite strain for some time now. I live in Oregon but drive 30 miles across the Colombia River into Washington state to get a hold of that fire. Because it’s that good. I've been smoking ganja for 3 decades and I have a very high tolerance, and these dark dank nugs can still get me high in a way that most weed cannot anymore. In fact GP is on my personal Mount Rushmore of cannabis strains, along with Perfect Pair, Chemdawg, and Kali Mist. But I think GP is the best of them, certainly the most complete. It doesn't just check all the boxes for what makes for a good high...it checks them with VIGOR. You might say it checks them, circles them, puts Xs through them, and then slams an ice pick down through each square.
I would describe the high as one of deep physical relaxation coupled with intense cerebral energy. I cannot even say that it leans sativa or indica because it absolutely crushes it on both counts. If you are new to cannabis, your face will surely melt.
Taste-wise, GP is delightful and hits you with flavors of apricot, lemon and lavender, but always with a strong diesel backbone. Think Jet Fuel flavors, but smoother than that, and with added nuance. There is even sweet vanilla to be detected by a discerning palate.
Tl;dr—Don't keep yourself waitin, buy Gary Payton.
