Origins and Genetics

Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, also known as Thin Mint Cookies, is a highly regarded hybrid strain with a near-even balance of indica and sativa genetics. It is a complex cross of Girl Scout Cookies, OG Kush, and F1 Durban Poison. The strain gained notable recognition after finishing at the 2014 Seattle Cannabis Cup, solidifying its place among elite cookie cultivars.

Flavor and Aroma

Thin Mint GSC is best known for its unmistakable minty cookie profile. Sweet baked cookie notes blend seamlessly with cool mint and subtle earthy kush undertones. The aroma mirrors the flavor closely, offering a dessert-like sweetness layered with refreshing mint and light herbal spice.

Potency and Effects

With THC levels often reaching 24% or higher, Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies delivers a powerful, well-rounded high. The effects combine a calming, sedative body buzz with a stimulating cerebral lift that enhances creativity and provides mental relief. Strong hunger and sleepiness frequently develop as the high progresses, making this strain especially effective for evening or nighttime use. It’s commonly chosen to help manage anxiety, depression, appetite loss, and insomnia.

Appearance

The buds are dense and well-structured, typical of cookie genetics, with deep green tones often accented by subtle purple hues. A thick coating of frosty trichomes gives the flower a sugary, high-potency finish that reflects its strong effects.
