Cookies Gary Payton

If you’re not a sports fan, there’s a chance that the name of this strain sounds a bit odd to you. Also known simply as Gary Payton, Cookies Gary Payton was produced in collaboration with the former Seattle Supersonics point guard. After crossing The Y and Snowman, the teams at Cookies and Powerzzz Genetics turned her over to Veritas, a Colorado-based grower who now holds all licensing power.

Cookies Gary Payton may top out at a meer 25% THC, but users claim time and time again that she packs a huge punch. Nugs take on a classic look with a mint green color that’s accented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of white, sparkling trichomes. If you enjoy sweet strains then this gal isn’t for you, as she dominates your senses with a mixture of spicy diesel and herbs. Many say that her odor lingers for quite a while, so make sure you’re enjoying her in a safe area before you light up.

A lot of the time people use phrases like “buckle up” when describing how to prepare for a particular type of high, but in the case of Cookies Gary Payton, you might actually want to do so — or at least plant your behind on the couch. While this strain isn’t typically sedative, sitting down may be a smart move due to the sheer strength of her effects. Users note that right away their mind is blasted into the outer realms of euphoria, creating a strong desire to socialize and a fit of giggles that simply won’t go away. For some, focus is intensified and could be used to your advantage when it comes to your to-do list.

While this strain is a popular choice when it comes to recreation, she’s loved just as much for her therapeutic benefits too. Cookies Gary Payton has been found on dispensary shelves with as much as 5% CBD, making her a prime candidate for easing issues like anxiety, depression, and even ADD or ADHD.

Anyone who has tried Cookies Gary Payton knows that this strain is something special, and time and time again, people have been disappointed when they get the urge to grow her themselves. As you can guess, anytime the word “licensing” is involved in a particular strain’s availability, it’s highly unlikely that seeds or clones will be for sale. If you just can’t let go of the idea of cultivating her yourself, try looking for a stray seed each time you purchase flower.

You don’t have to love basketball to enjoy Cookies Gary Payton, but for some reason, those who are NBA fans tend to like this strain just a little bit more.
