Girl Scout Cookies

Named in obvious sarcastic wit, Girl Scout Cookies are far more potent than its name might suggest. A slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain, GSC is known for its power and flavor. It is popular in the scene for its effectivity and clean high, but is a relatively low yielder compared to other strains – but its unique strength makes it worth the wait.

Although much hype surrounds Girl Scout Cookies and its origins, the strain basically consists of a South Florida OG Kush blended with Durban Poison. GSC is a unique blend that lives up to its reputation from being featured in a number of rap songs.
