Cookies Kush

Available at Canna Meds Wellness Center in Colorado Springs.

If you’re looking to help Santa make his rounds this year, you definitely don’t want to leave these cookies next to a glass of milk. The product of a smart breeding project to bring stability to the sometimes finicky Girl Scout Cookies, Cookies Kush is a great balance of flavor and potency. Chocolate and spearmint blend well with subtle rubber notes in the bag, but the crisper notes are all you’ll taste as you put it in the air. Don’t let the smaller nugs (apropos of the Kush genetics) fool you, this is a heavy-hitter whose effects are apparent from the first hit. Starting behind the eyes and moving down the neck, reviewers loved how it relieved pressure and eventually settled into their hands, leaving one arthritis sufferer raving about it. Overall indica-dominant, we found it manageable for late afternoon as well, not knocking you out immediately but also not leaving you wide-eyed as you wait for presents in the morning.
