GSC (formerly Girl Scout Cookies, renamed after trademark pressure from the Girl Scouts of America) is a cross between an OG Kush sub-type and F1 Durban, created by the California breeder Jigga. It emerged in the early 2010s and quickly became one of the defining strains of the modern connoisseur market.

Effects are strong — the high THC profile hits fast, with initial euphoria settling into relaxed body heaviness. Users report it helping with chronic pain, nausea, and appetite loss. The distinctive mint-sweet-earth flavor is instantly recognizable. Best reserved for experienced consumers given the THC ceiling.
