What Platinum Girl Scout Cookies is
Leafly lists Platinum Cookies, also known as Platinum Girl Scout Cookies, Platinum GSC and PGSC, as a hybrid and calls it the next evolution of GSC: a Cup-winning cross of OG Kush, Durban Poison and a third, unknown strain. Weedmaps names the same 2 parents but says Platinum Cookies is generally regarded as a selection or phenotype from the original GSC line rather than a separate cross, and notes that the early Cookies family tree is murky. AllBud rates it a 50/50 hybrid.
No source names a breeder for the Platinum cut itself. GSC, the strain it comes from, was bred by California breeder Jigga, who crossed a sub-type of OG Kush with F1 Durban, according to Leafly's GSC page, which names Thin Mint and Platinum GSC among its many variations.
Look, smell and taste
The Platinum name points to the frost. Leafly describes a heavy coat of crystal trichomes over sage green leaves, and Weedmaps adds that the dense green buds can take on deep purple tones under orange pistils and a thick, silvery layer of trichomes. The trichomes guide explains that resin.
Leafly describes sweet berry and candy notes followed by a fruity spiciness, and its reviewers most often pick sweet, flowery and pungent. Weedmaps puts the berry and candy over earth, peppery spice and Kush-style fuel, and its users most often report earthy, diesel and berry flavours. In samples tested by Leafly Certified labs, caryophyllene leads, followed by limonene and myrcene.
Effects people report
Leafly rates Platinum Cookies' effects as mostly calming, and its reviewers most often report feeling relaxed, euphoric and happy; the most common negatives they list are dry mouth, feeling anxious and dry eyes. Weedmaps describes a euphoric, happy start that settles into a more relaxed groove, with the heavier side showing up as a session goes on.
Effects vary with the batch and the person, so start with a small amount. Health Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines advise not driving for at least 6 hours after using cannabis.
How strong is Platinum GSC?
The numbers vary widely. Leafly lists 17% THC and still rates it above average, AllBud gives 18% to 26%, and Weedmaps reports 23% to 28%. The THC figure on the label of the batch you buy is the one that matters.
Similar strains
The closest relatives are its parents and siblings. Leafly and Weedmaps both list OG Kush and Durban Poison as parents, and Weedmaps names Durban Poison among similar strains. Leafly and AllBud both name GSC Thin Mint alongside it as a GSC variation.
