this strain is fantastic! been on it the entire memorial day weekend. best time ever. and OMG it makes me horny. I think my husband is getting scared. :)
Amazing euphoria & body/nimb numbing qualities! Killed my anxiety & pain. Made me happy & useless. Fantastic!!
one of the best night-time strains ever..it immediately gives you chills..not so high but you feel very happy and comfortable
picked up an 1/8....no way near as potent as everyone says...batch tested at 20.1% thc its just lacked the cerebral punch I'm looking for.
Upon arrival to the procurer’s establishment, I had a choice between this strain and White Berry. I did a review on the White Berry before; this time, I stuck mostly to Thin Mint GSC.
Initial appearance: coated, just coated. This makes the underlying green tones appear lighter than they really are secondary to the whitishness induced by the trichome coverage (essentially all pure white stalks and heads). There are still gradations between some darker spots with a lighter backdrop and very sparse orange stigmas. The texture is nice and firm but not anything considered excessively dense; it falls in the spectrum of the density of many common Cannabis strains. One may find these flower buds keefy (‘trichome-laden’) to feel and sticky after 2 - 3 pinches of manual grinding by hand. There are occasional tinges of purple, and the calyx tips point upwards and form almost spike-like florets that are still thick and can aggregate into the floral, vegetative mass of bud (‘spike-like’ = Durban; ‘aggregate’ = O.G.)
Smell: initially, straight up dough like the original GSC but with a mint tone to it. Definitely something that reminds one of sweet biscuits (in a non-Cannabis sense), and repeated wafts, including to repeated and first-time exposures (such as in repeatedly closing and opening the jar), reveal further accents to this strain including skunkiness and, if really looking for it, a dark-chocolate scent that can, at least mildly, resemble actual Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. In the midst of all this, the Durban smell that can be likened to marjoram (or some component thereof) clearly stands out and shines through as about 30 – 50% of what I smelled (and smell). WARNING: WILL FILL UP ROOM/AREA WITH SKUNK FLOWER BUD AROMA!
Taste: dough, dough, dough. It tastes like dough with that slight mintiness that’s there in mojito on inhalation. While holding in an inhalation, the skunky and sweet tones become more pronounced on the tongue, and right before exhalation, one can find the taste of that dark chocolate with the dough, sweetness and mild to moderate mintiness. Coughing may occur, but this is due purely to the quality of this flower and can be detected by consumers as a, ‘clean’ sensation (literally).
Effect: I’ve complained quite a bit in the past about GSC because, honestly, I haven’t been a fan of Durban in the past prior to ever trying GSC, and the original GSC definitely has a pronounced Durban component. This strain, however, I wholly approve of. The phrase, ‘upgraded Durban’ was a conclusion I ultimately came to. It seems a little more balanced to me and actually lends a characteristic that allows the Durban component to actually shine through in a way that may not be recognized otherwise. One way to describe this: the uplifting effect of Durban takes on the body with maintained Indica effect which eventually all segués into full-on, head-and-body, relaxation, calming and numbing effects that are of notable intensity. One thing I DEFINITELY appreciated about this strain (and the reason why, as I type this, I changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars): the length-of-duration can be long with this strain. One 0.15 – 0.2 gram bowl out of a glass chillum, when cleaned and properly flowing, endows a sensation that can last at least 2.5 to 3 hours. Larger quantities endow even longer durations of effect(s). Small quantities: immediate cerebral rush but Indica component definitely present hence uniquely, ‘balanced’ even if one may be taken aback. Moderate quantities: heaviness, slowing down, couchlock. Large quantities: waves of alternating cerebral euphoria , arousal to the extent of full wakefulness and heavy, intense, relaxing, ‘calms’. A hallmark characteristic: a sense of well-being. Small quantities intaken leave no sense of fatigue or tiredness. Moderate to large quantities may do so some hours after intake.
***NOTE: one characteristic of this strain, for me, is that it can increase the appetite quite a bit, and it seemed to be a better idea to supplant this, 'hunger' with just water as eating can drastically decrease the effect/sensations endowed by this strain. That is why, by my understanding, this is one of those strains that became such a popular mainstay: people can work on it and live a productive life with a full-schedule while maintaining a solid-intensity Indica that does have a good duration-of-action as well, and eating food can allow one to selectively, 'remove' the components of psychoactivity/mental euphoria or changes in consciousness states thereof while maintaining other selected benefits such as for lower back pain, other body aches and spasms (at minimum).
Another thought that came to mind (in the context of Leafly's, 'Cannabinoid Week'): is this, 'hunger' with this strain specifically related to actual hunger or a mimic of certain actions of the endogenous hormone ghrelin? It may just be the batch I have, but I also feel some small spurts occasionally of, 'anti-hunger' in-line with THCV. You get the benefits of maintaining those, 'hunger pathways' (which can include but go beyond genetic stabilization) without actually, 'needing' to intake food? A complex strain which definitely had some thought put into breeding it, which is why...
Overall: I put this on my list of Favorite Strains. Solid. (*thumb up*)
Would I buy this again? Yes! (By the kilo? Hm… [*scratching chin*])
Recommend to Connoisseurs and Sommeliers? I’m pretty sure they’ve had this by this point, but sure, let’s say yes.
Recommend to first-timers and/or inexperienced consumers? Yes.
I had thin mint GSC shatter, it had an amazingly minty aroma with a strong twist of sweet pines and identical flavor upon inhale. Very euphoric and relieves my neck pain. At times would feel strong effects focused on forehead, but certainly full body as well. I would recommend this in small increments if less experienced, however, people with a tolerance will thoroughly enjoy every aspect of this strain.

I've been waiting to give this a day in court for awhile now. Finally indulged tonight, and WOW. Perfect for my anxiety and stress. I feel just right to enjoy the day. Great strain, recommend to anyone who is naturally wound too tight like myself.
This strain is as potent as any OG Kush because it does have an OG Kush in the mix. Anyways this strain taste just like minty chocolate kush mixed with hints of berry and grape. It's amazing they said there is no GDP in this strain, however I beg to differ something is causing that berry and grape sweet flavor in the mix, Strange indeed. Anyways it has a pretty much potent stoney cerebral and body high. Great for medicating for pain relief while still being able to function doesn't put you down like an OG Kush but has the potency of an OG without the sleep aid. Maybe for beginners it would put them to sleep or low tolerance users. however I've consumed the flower and co2 hash oil. Both never really put me to sleep but medicated me well almost got a "couch lock" but it's like a non fatiguing couch lock, I could get up and move. I feel this strain is great for chilling out with a few friends and watching movies or gaming. Or desktop work. You can still function on this but you will be giggly and euphoric, You will feel like an astronaught but still remain somewhat focused! It deserves a 5 star rating. The flower and concentrate is potent enough. However for sleep maybe not this herb try an actual OG or some other herb. I figure if you have no tolerance this might put you to sleepish sort of? It gives me an energetic but not racy cerebral stone and body relaxation pain relief high.
