Welcome to the world of GMO, a captivating cannabis strain also known as “GMO Garlic Cookies” or “Garlic Cookies.” This potent indica-dominant strain earned its moniker from its distinct flavor profile and strong effects. And now, you can experience this unique strain for yourself at Abide Napa.
What You Need To Know About The GMO Strain
Join us as we explore the background and characteristics of GMO and discover why it stands out in the ever-evolving landscape of cannabis.
GMO’s Genetic Makeup
GMO is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain crafted through the cross of two well-known cultivars, Girl Scout Cookies and Chemdawg. Both parent hybrids are indica-leaning, resulting in an indica to sativa ratio of 90:10.
How Does GMO Look And Taste?
Pungent, earthy and garlicky is the name of the game when it comes to GMO. Expect a bold combination of flavors backed by loud diesel undertones that linger on your tastebuds. In fact, its flavor is how the strain got its name — GMO is short for “garlic, mushroom and onion.”
Beyond its exceptional taste, GMO offers dense nugs with deep shades of green adorned with hints of purple or even blue. You can also expect a thick coating of trichomes, a sure bet that this strain is the ticket to a great sesh.
GMO’s High THC Content
The potency of the GMO strain is a defining characteristic, making it a favorite among cannabis connoisseurs. With THC levels ranging from 20% to 30%, GMO is considered to be on the high end of the potency scale.
GMO Strain’s Terpene Content
GMO stands out for its rich terpene profile, with three key terpenes contributing to the strain’s standout aroma and potential therapeutic potential. Caryophyllene, known for its peppery and spicy notes, provides potential anti-inflammatory and stress-relieving properties. Limonene adds a citrusy and zesty fragrance, while myrcene adds earthy and musky undertones. The combination of these terpenes makes GMO a well-rounded and sought-after cannabis strain.
How Does The GMO Strain Make You Feel?
Indulging in GMO Cookies is a journey into euphoria. With exceptionally high THC concentration, the strain delivers a potent and blissful high known to elevate the mood and induce feelings of happiness. You can expect your body to feel engulfed in soothing relaxation like a warm, cozy blanket – making it the perfect companion for those seeking an uplift in mood but deep physical relaxation.
Why Do Medical Cannabis Patients Like the GMO Strain?
Patients say that the GMO strain has shown promise in managing mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, providing consumers with a sense of emotional balance and tranquility. They also turn to the GMO strain for aches and pains. Finally — and unsurprisingly, given its high THC content — the GMO strain can help up your appetite and help lull you to sleep.
One review on AllBud described GMO as “the strongest yet most beneficial medical cannabis” they’ve ever tried, stating, “I highly recommend this strain to my brothers & sisters who have served in any branch during peace or conflict, who suffer from anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia & PTSD. HIGHLY potent strain with fantastic medicinal results!”
GMO Strain Drawbacks
With its very high THC content, GMO may not be the right fit for newcomers and low-tolerance cannabis consumers. That’s because too much THC can trigger anxiety or paranoia in some, especially if you know you’re predisposed to these reactions. Additional common yet minor side effects include dry mouth and dry eyes, typical symptoms that can be alleviated with adequate hydration.
Always start with a lower dose and gradually increase as needed to ensure a more enjoyable and controlled experience with this potent strain.
