Snack on Girl Scout Cookies with These Cannabis Strains

Sometimes it seems that there are very few things that the American public can all agree upon. Yet the cherished and beloved tradition of Girl Scout Cookie season has both the power and the taste to excite and inspire the masses. Available only once a year, Girl Scout Cookies take the country by storm as young leaders learn to build their business skills with the delectable treats that come in several varieties. The Girl Scouts of America has been making headlines in recent years as its creativity to make a profit has led some to market their tasty desserts right outside of their local cannabis collectives. To prepare consumers for any Girl Scouts the may run into on the way to pick up some flower, here is a direct guide on how to create the perfect pair of cookie and cannabis strain:

Cookie: Thin Mints

Pair With: Thin Mints GSC

They’re refreshing, cooling and an even balance of mint and chocolate. What better strain to go with this fan favorite than the one named after it? Thin Mint GSC contains the terpenes Humulene and Alpha Pinene, which both contribute to the strain’s fresh and earthy aroma. Thin Mint GSC pairs nicely with this cookie as its own similar flavor can intensity the sharp mint flavor of the cookie.

Cookie: Tagalongs/Peanut Butter Patties

Pair With: Chocolate Thunder

Chocolate and peanut butter are an epic duo and Tagalongs can satisfy the most intense munchies with its layered peanut butter cookie coated in a thick blanket of milk chocolate.

This strain will supplement both the chocolate and peanut butter flavors in Tagalongs, satiating your craving for something both sweet and savory.

Pair With: Sour Apple

Covered in caramel, chocolate drizzle and coconut flakes, Samoas have the power to cure any sweet tooth. Amplify this dynamite snack by contrasting its sweet flavors with the tart aroma of the Sour Apple strain. Caramel apples anyone? Sour and sweet have always been a hit combination and the terpenes in this strain leave a zesty, bitter taste. Being the hybrid child of Sour Diesel and Cinderella 99, Sour Apple effectively brings in a potent skunky flavor mixed with an undeniable tanginess that will remain as you munch down on this delectable caramel cookie.

Cookie: Girl Scout S’mores

Pair With: Sour Diesel

This cookie brings back memories of summertime and campfires, inspired by phenomenal dessert that is the classic American s’more.

With so many sweet ingredients in one cookie, an earthy strain like Sour Diesel can help to provide a nice contrast to the sugar rush that is bound to hit. The Beta-Caryophyllene found in this strain contributes to the pungent aroma of Sour Diesel and typically has hints of pepper, cloves and hops.

Cookie: Lemonades

Pair With: Super Lemon Haze

Lemonades are as adorable as they are delicious. With a citrus wedge design and lemony iced coating, this snack gives off hints of a fresh lemon taste without an overwhelming sour flavor.
