Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mint)

In the last 20 plus years nothing has changed the game quite like the Girl Scout Cookies strain. Appearing on the scene in the Bay area somewhere around 2010, Girl Scout Cookies soon became one of the most talked about (and rapped about) strains around. Known for its knock out potency and unique look and terpene profile (think baked goods/cookie dough mixed with the classic kushy, gas backend), it quickly became one of the most sought after clones in the grow scene.

Bred by Jigga, the lineage of the original GSC plant (known as the Thin Mint cut) was highly debated upon its emergence to the scene. But the most agreed upon story was that Jigga crossed his F1 Durban cut to the Florida Kush (an OG Kush type clone only) and Girl Scout Cookies was born. This one plant’s massive popularity directly spawned the now 1 billion dollar company, Cookies, with the help of rapper and cannabis entrepreneur Berner, who transitioned this strain’s momentum to a national chain of dispensaries and a hugely successful clothing company.

Girl Scout Cookies’ game changer status was further solidified by it’s extreme popularity within the cannabis breeder circles, where it seemed as if all breeders at that time were crossing it, trying to meet the demand of growers wanting GSC type plants in their own gardens. Because if this, in today’s market, it’s hard to find a new, popular strain that doesn’t have Girl Scout Cookies somewhere in its lineage. What’s more game changing than that?
