Platinum Cookies (Platinum Girl Scout cookies, Platinum GSC) 

The Platinum Cookies strain has won a few awards and is well-known on the 420 scene. It’s loved by newbies and veteran smokers alike.

Let’s check the profile of this exclusive hybrid. 

Platinum Cookies description 

Some refer to the Platinum Cookies strain as the European adaptation of the famous Girl Scout Cookies strain. They claim that it’s crossed with an additional unknown cannabis variant, giving it a distinctive taste, scent, and profile.

The buds are attractively light green with bright orange pistols and dashes of purple. The dense nugs are also covered in trichomes.  

Right off the plant, the Platinum Cookies strain has a strong scent. It’s earthy yet fuel-like with light wafts of sweet pine and spice. These aromas intensify once you break up the bud and it takes a few minutes for the remnants to leave your nostrils. 

Its gustatory experience is delightful. The Platinum Cookies strain’s flavor is fruity and spicy, with a touch of berry. As you exhale, you can detect a subtle earthy and sweet aftertaste. 

The effects of this hybrid lean more towards its indica genes, inducing euphoric, peaceful sensations that leave you feeling relaxed. The hit is almost instant and the flavor lingers in your mouth for a few minutes after each toke.

Initially, you’ll still have energy for certain light tasks or creative projects, but it’s best to take the Platinum Cookies strain in the evening. It offers high amounts of THC, and the heavy laziness only kicks in after approximately 30 minutes. 

Aside from the high, users also claim the strain has medicinal benefits and can help with: 

• Migraines 
• Stress
• Nausea 
• Depression 
• Anxiety 
• Insomnia 
• Inflammation
