Cookies & Cream

In case you are new to medicating on cannabis, you should probably start with a delicious strain such as Cookies and Cream. Even though the THC potency might knock you off, you will enjoy every bit of the ride.
Cookies and Cream is a balanced hybrid strain with 50% indica and 50% Sativa. It packs a potent punch of psychoactivity having about 26% THC. The CBD is about 0.1%, just enough to support synergy without interfering with the cerebral buzz. Some studies have shown that CBD in high amounts can displace THC from cannabinoid receptors in the brain (CB2). In this way, CBD can offset some of the psychedelic effects of THC, but not in Cookies and Cream.

Cookies and Cream were created by Exotic Genetix. It is a hybrid cross between the popular strain Girl Scout Cookies and Starfighter. Having such strong genetics, this is a cup winning strain. It took the first place in the hybrid category of the 2014 Denver Cannabis Cup.

Cookies and Cream is your everyday strain. The cerebral buzz will mellow you down after a hectic day, for as long as you stick to amounts that you can tolerate well. New patients are advised to be cautious with this strain; the delicious taste might tempt one to go past the limits.

This is a balanced hybrid, meaning it contains properties of both a traditional indica as well as a Sativa. This gives it versatility about its effects on both the body and mind.

Once you inhale the smoke you will detect extremely sweet notes on both the nose and tongue. As the name suggests, the taste is creamy and cookie-like. This is not the strain to irritate your throat.
If you love kief and happen to own a kief catcher, you should probably try this strain. The nugs are dense and drenched in trichomes. They are hard to break by hand.

Once you have your nugs all dried out, ground, and decarboxylated, you will be able to enjoy some delicious and therapeutic smoke. Patients have used this to get through sleepless nights, rev up their appetite, and deal with different kinds of pain.

It takes about 8 weeks to flower. Not a long time to wait for this delicious and rewarding strain.
