Do you like dessert-themed cannabis strains? Then you’ll love the subject of today’s Strain Spotlight. In this entry, we’re going to look at Cookies and Cream, one of the best and most popular hybrid strains of the last decade. Learn more about this illustrious strain’s background, appearance, effects, and more in this post.
Cookies and Cream: One of the Best Hybrid Strains Available Today
Cookies and Cream is a member of what is likely one of the most influential cannabis genetic lines of all time. This heady hybrid is a cross between Starfighter and Girl Scout Cookies. That makes it both a hybrid strain and part of the Cookies family—a line of strains created by renowned rapper and cannabis entrepreneur Berner. Berner’s Cookies family of strains contain some of the most sought after flower out there, and he is one of the biggest names in cannabis right now.
Cookies and Cream isn’t all hype, though. This strain can stand on its own as an example of high-quality potent cannabis. It even got a nod in the 2014 Cannabis Cup, where it won the “Best US Hybrid” category. Here are some of the reasons it won that honor.
What Does Cookies and Cream Taste, Smell, and Look Like?
With a name like “Cookies and Cream,” you’d hope that this strain has a rich, sweet aroma and taste. And you’d be right! Cookies and Cream boasts a fragrance that leans heavily on its vanilla notes. You may also detect some more refined candy-esque aromas, along with an earthy, pungent scent typical of OG strains. Its flavor is decidedly vanilla as well, combined with a faint nutty taste that rolls playfully across your taste buds.
Visually, Cookies and Cream is just as striking as you’d expect. Berner ensured that members of his Cookies family were visually stunning, displaying a crystalline sheath of trichomes that glisten under any available light. Bold orange hairs burst out between its lime-green buds, making this strain something to behold.
Effects of the Cookies and Cream Strain
As much as a strain’s appearance is an important part of the whole package, its effects are ultimately what make it special. And Cookies and Cream is no exception. As one of the best hybrids of the last decade, its effects offer up everything you want in a cannabis strain.
Cookies and Cream starts off with a rush of energizing euphoria. You’ll feel happy, you’ll giggle, and you may even feel a jolt of creative juices. After that initial rush tapers off, you’ll descend into a warm, relaxing embrace that lasts until the end of your experience.
Medical patients may be able to benefit from Cookies and Cream, too. One of the main reasons many medical patients seek out cannabis is to relieve chronic pain, and Cookies and Cream may help patients find relief. Cannabis may also be able to help those suffering from sleep trouble by allowing them to fall asleep faster and stay asleep for longer, according to some research.
