This has been one of my favorite strains since I first started smoking. The feeling Girlscout Cookies gives you I can only describe in one strange way; the fishbowl effect. I made up this term to describe the all encompassing euphoria that certain strains give you. Some strains you feel grounded and clear headed, some just make you confused, some make you sleepy, some make you relaxed, some are described as a “head” high, and some get you so high you feel like you are floating—GSC gives you that floats my like your head is in a fishbowl or space helmet. The high SURROUNDS you like you are floating in water or wearing a space helmet, except all of the universe’s beauty is inside your helmet instead of outside! It’s like wearing a warm blanket! It’s relaxing to your body but not overwhelming (at least in small doses; I am prone to marijuana induced anxiety/panic so I smoke in smaller quantities) and it gives you this wonderfully lifted euphoria. Other than sour diesel, this strain probably makes me feel the “highest” in a good way! It’s a great way to detach from reality for a few hours and get a good sleep.

I got a pre roll of white buffalo went I first moved to Los Angeles. I shared it with my wife and our roommate on our balcony and I know we all had a low tolerance but hot DAMN were we stoned 😂 Smoking this strain is one of our most legendary stories to date. We spent an hour crying from laughter on the balcony bc we happened to smoke RIGHT when a guy was trying to parallel park and was absolutely failing to do so in the most hilarious way 😂 I know being stoned distorts time but I had my phone so I knew the time, this guy pulled in and out trying to park in a rather large space along the street in front out our apartment for 20 straight minutes. My roommate was so high he began yelling instructions at the guy from our balcony😂 I was trying to tell him to be quiet but then we realized the guy was actually listening to his instructions! After several minutes my roommate got mad and just yelled “dammit. you know what, just pull it all the way out and start over!” Then this couple walking down the street realized what was happening and the husband began instructing the guy for the next 5+ minutes. He finally got so mad that he reached in the guy’s car and actually turned the wheel himself 😂 after 20 minutes of me laying on the balcony floor crying from laughter, the kid FINALLY parked his car and we gave him a standing ovation and played We Are the Champions over a speaker 😂 This remains one of my fondest memories and I’m so glad I randomly reached for white buffalo at the dispensary that day. I tend to suffer from marijuana induced panic/anxiety when I get really high but I suspect I was in the perfect situation to distract me from that, I could see how this strain might be too much if I were in another setting though. I haven’t tried it since then so I’m only going with 4 stars for now, but I look forward to trying it again one day.

Mimosa is a wonderful experience! I feel this strain almost entirely as a Sativa and for some reason, it reminds me of the high Sour Diesel gives me. Where it differs from Sour Diesel to me is that it is a little less euphoric and a little more focused. I've never had a bad experience with it and have never experienced any anxiety or paranoia (which I can be prone to.) It's a very cheerful experience that is good for chatting with friends, having a good giggle-fest, or getting lost in a show. If you find yourself sitting down to do a task, it seems to aid in focus. I have ADHD and it feels like it narrows my focus and train of thought to whatever I am doing at that time. It's a wonderful strain and it tastes and smells great too!

Sour Diesel has always been one of my favorite strains. It's always a very fun, euphoric, and happy experience. In large quantities, some paranoia can set in on some occasions, but that is more of a rarity than a usual occurrence. This is a go-to strain if I'm having a night in to play games or listen to music and looking to de-stress.

Jack is one of the few strains that doesn't really make me feel "high." It's always such a pleasant experience that takes the weight of life off of my shoulders--if only for a few moments! I genuinely never understood how someone could smoke and feel motivated to still go out and do stuff until I found Jack. I'll vape it and walk down to eat Pho with my wife and friends, I'll get work done at the computer, I'll smile and do chores around the apartment, go for a longboard ride, or I'll just happily lay in bed and watch TV. Some strains give me anxiety and paranoia but Jack is always a safe and comfortable bet for me.

I often seek out strains that will uplift me, relieve me of anxiety and/or depression, and give me time to relax, smile, and have a laugh with my wife. I've had strains in the past impact me in negative ways but this one took the cake. I bought it because it was recommended by many sites as a great reliever of anxiety and depression--but instead, it GAVE me those things. I didn't even smoke a whole joint, my wife and I shared, and I was noticeably blazed fairly quickly. That feeling wouldn't traditionally be an unwelcome feeling but what came with it was what I could only describe as debilitating and unpleasant. I began getting paranoid about my physical body; heart racing, wondering whether I was remembering to breathe, feeling nauseous. Then I got paranoid about my life; all I could think about was pain and death. I struggle with bouts of anxiety and depression but I have NEVER been a suicidal person... this high made me so paranoid about how painful and awful life was that all I could think about was how death would be a gift. I then started questioning my faith and my very existence in this world... After being uncomfortably high for quite some time, I slept it off. Unfortunately, the damage didn't end when the high ended. I am not kidding, this one high triggered the worst depressive episode of my life. I didn't consume cannabis for quite some time after this experience bc of how awful it was, but the thoughts I had while high from this strain stuck with me for MONTHS. I had what I can only call an existential crisis. I questioned my faith, my existence, my self-worth, I went through a period of total uncharacteristic apathy where I didn't care about anything at all and even stopped doing the things I loved and lied in bed for most of the day. I had been having a bit of a rough time before, but after smoking this strain that ONE time, the thoughts it triggered left me in shambles. If anyone reading this is concerned, I'm fine! The last several months I've managed to begin crawling out of this depressive episode and I'm returning to being myself again! I've occasionally started consuming cannabis in small quantities again but am doing so VERY carefully. I urge anyone who is struggling with mental health issues to listen seek professional guidance and/or at least tell a loved one how you are feeling. If you use cannabis as a medicinal way to cope, do it with caution and pay attention to your mind and body and take notes on how certain strains, terpenes, etc interact with you. And if you're reading this as you are currently struggling, then please remember, you are loved, you are beautiful, you are worthy, and I believe in you! We need you, I'm so glad you're still here with us. Much love <3
