Phantom Cookies is a sativa-dominant hybrid with California roots, originating in Mendocino County. It is a cross between Granddaddy Purps (GDP) and Cherry Pie, a hybrid descendant of GDP. While the exact indica-to-sativa ratio is unclear, the strain is best known not for its psychoactivity, but for its unusually high CBD content and therapeutic focus.

Flavor and Aroma

Phantom Cookies features a bright, citrus-forward flavor profile. On the palate, sharp citrus notes lead the way, followed by subtle sweetness. The aroma is more complex, blending earthy tones and roasted nutty notes with soft berry and grape sweetness inherited from its GDP lineage.

Potency and Effects

With THC levels rarely exceeding 12%, Phantom Cookies delivers a mild, clear-headed high that emphasizes mental clarity over intoxication. Users report light euphoria, enhanced creativity, and a calm, focused mindset without heavy psychoactive effects. Its high CBD content makes it especially effective as a pain reliever and for managing conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, fibromyalgia, spinal cord injuries, and seizure-related disorders. This strain is ideal for medical patients seeking symptom relief without strong intoxication.

Appearance

The buds are generously coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, resinous look. Bright orange pistils stand out against the flower, adding visual contrast to the dense, crystal-covered structure.
