Ever since I first tried it, GSC has been a great day-time high with enough mellow to take the edge of any pain or discomfort as well. I think it's a great all purpose bud, as the taste and aroma are pleasant, and the effect is noticeable and strong due to its high THC content.
I do find when I overdue it sometimes I get a little sleepy, so make sure you don't go crazy if you have something important to do. :p
Very potent with a strong cerebral high and a good body high without couch-lock. Buds are dark with bright orange hairs and super dense, seriously compact and sticky.

Great Great weed, definitely getting some more. At first I was taken back feeling the sativa head smash then not too soon after, I got the relaxing lull of the indica slowly bring me back down to reality
I can't choose all the effects this strain has on me but out of every strain I have tried in my time smoking and trying edibles, this has been the one I found to have the best medicinal effects for me. If I'm awake, it helps me focus and take on tasks throughout the house pain free. If it's in the evening, I can just use it to relax and wind down. It is great to play video games, watch YouTube, or listen to music on. I am currently getting this strain in a joint made of dry sift and flower from this strain and infused with liquid diamond and now that I've found a reliable dispensary to get this strain, I don't know if I'll change it up. It doesn't make me paranoid or panic, it just makes me happy and relaxed in any situation. Especially if you deal with mental illness and chronic pain simultaneously, this strain may be your savior. There's not one strain since this that has been as satisfactory as this one.
Much like Blue Dream, GSC is a popular, versatile strain, great in small doses for a buzzy green day or in slightly larger doses for a deeply relaxing yet stimulating evening. Sometimes, this strain can be a bit too psychoactive for me, given the strength of its Durban Poison parent. Unless you purchase a sun-grown variety, GSC strains can be generally high on the THC potency scale. So yes, for more controlled hydroponic variants, a little goes a long way. Baking, however, is the best use of this strain - by far! They don't call it "Girl Scout Cookies" for nothing; grind it, weigh it, and mix it into your brownie mix or cookie dough batter. The flavor blends particularly well with rich, dense baked goods, lending them a very mild and unassuming hint of cannabis without overpowering the edible's natural flavor. What's more, if consumed in edible form, digestion takes the potentially-strong Sativa edge off, turning your baked goods into wonderful after-dinner desserts.
Method of consumption - Flower; Smoking.

Smell - I will divvy this category up in three pieces; Full flower, grounded up flower, and smoke.
Full - Earthy and pungent. Emphasis on earthy part though. It is very reminiscent of pines, amber resin, and sweet soil.
Ground - The floral notes of sweet berry escaped as soon I worked at grinding. It gave me a visual of wild berry bush growing next to mint stalks in a wonderful woody area. Almost as if it hasn't been touched or discovered.
Smoke - Almost odorless except for your typical marijuana and sweet berry smell. I must confess that I was a bit congested due to allergies. I can't really confirm the smoke smell except for these.
----
Taste - Definitely sweet. Earthy, minty, and berry as well. A delicious combination. However, it wasn't one of smooth strains.
----
Effect - Once it hits, it was apparent on how potent it was. It was... A perfect balance.
Both of my body and mind untangled. I felt knots of stress and worry loosening up and disappearing. The spinal pain was significantly reduced to 1 on the scale of 0 to 10; Almost pain free. My anxiety and PTSD was silenced and introduced to a mellow mind state. I was able to think clearly and come up with creative solutions.
I was giggly; Appreciating every smallest jokes available. This was an awesome case of giggles.
It doesn't put me to sleep but it does encourage and help me to sleep once I decided to.

Negatives - Dry mouth, dry mouth, and... DRY MOUTH! No joke. I'd recommend two or three glasses of cold water handy. Or, maybe, a bowl of ice cream / sherbet.
---
Munchies - Medium. A bowl of ice cream was enough to satisfy my munchies, but I couldn't ignore it.
---
Extra - I am glad that I decided to give this another try. One of my favorites now. I can see what the hype was about. If possible, I would grow this.
Highly recommendable. Great for stress and pain. The target audience would be anybody with mental and physical stress, pain (not migraine), anxiety issues (including PTSD), and depression.
My medical conditions are anxiety, Crohn's disease, insomnia, migraines, PTSD, and spinal injury (disc herniation).
I forgot what an avocado was.
Excellent, very strong flavor and very fruity aroma. Bright green flowers coated in crystals and big orange hairs. Gives a very nice balance of indica and saliva traits, leaving you relaxed but not lethargic.
