Many cannabis strains are named after their flavor, and some are named after their effects.
The indica dominant GMO cannabis strain is named after its smell. Short for “Garlic Mushroom and Onions,” it doesn’t sound like this strain would be so well-loved.
However, its breeders knew what they were doing when they created this potent and flavorful strain.
GMO Cookies, aka Garlic Cookies, is a potent mix of the two very popular strains, Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Chemdog.
The names’ garlic cookies’ and ‘GMO cookies’ replaced GMO as dispensaries avoided anything remotely similar to ‘genetically modified.’
Even with the name, this indica dominant strain was praised as one of the best new strains in 2017.
It delivers a savory taste while remaining only moderately difficult to grow.
