GSC Thin Mint: The Minty Phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies

By · Published · Updated

GSC Thin Mint Strain (Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies)
A note from Steven De Guzman

True to the cookie, GSC Thin Mint should smell of sweet mint over a doughy base, with a menthol edge. A square of dark chocolate or peppermint tea makes a fitting match; Leafly notes some plants lean fruity or diesel instead.

What Is GSC Thin Mint?

Leafly lists Thin Mint as a hybrid and one of the main sub-types of GSC, also known as Thin Mint GSC, Thin Mints, Thin Mint Cookies and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, with OG Kush and F1 Durb as its parents. Leafly's GSC page credits GSC to the California breeder Jigga and names Thin Mint among its variations.

A Leafly strain highlight places GSC's origins in the San Francisco Bay Area with an underground breeding collective known as the Cookie Family, whose recipe mixes Durban Poison, a private F1 line and OG Kush. AllBud lists Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies as a 50/50 hybrid of GSC, OG Kush and F1 Durban Poison. It keeps a separate entry for a strain called just Thin Mint and says not to confuse the two, while Leafly lists the names as one strain.

Look, Smell and Taste

Leafly describes dark green and royal purple hues peeking through a heavy coat of crystals, and a sweet, minty smell that explains the name. Its reviewers pick mint, menthol and sweet as the top flavours, and in Leafly's lab-sourced data caryophyllene is the leading terpene, followed by limonene and linalool; the terpene guide explains what those are.

In the Leafly strain highlight, a Thin Mint GSC sample smelled of musky pine with a sweet undertone like a chocolate-covered cherry, and the smoke carried an earthy sweetness with a creamy, distant mint. AllBud also describes a minty flavour and smell with sweet cookie notes.

Effects People Report

Leafly rates Thin Mint as mostly energizing, yet its nearly 900 reviewers most often report feeling relaxed, tingly and euphoric; the most common negatives are dry mouth, feeling anxious and dizziness. Leafly describes a powerful full-body effect and says the strain's high psychoactivity is not for novice consumers. AllBud describes a calming body buzz with strong hunger and sleepiness alongside a creative, cerebral boost.

If you are new to it, start with a small amount and wait, and do not drive for at least 6 hours afterwards, as Health Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines advise.

THC and Potency

Leafly lists Thin Mint at about 20% THC and 1% CBG and rates it higher in THC than average, while AllBud says THC topped 24% in at least one test. Expect a range from about 20% to the mid 20s depending on the grower and batch, and go by the label on the product you buy.

Similar Strains

Thin Mint's parent OG Kush has its own profile on this blog, and so does Platinum Girl Scout Cookies, which Leafly names as another variation of GSC. Leafly also lists Gorilla Cookies and Lava Cake as strains bred from Thin Mint.
