Garlic Juice

Garlic Juice is hybrid flower, offered by weight at 14 g or 28 g, from a strain bred by crossing GMO with Papaya.

What Papaya brings to GMO

Leafly credits the cross to Oni Seed Co.; AllBud agrees on GMO and Papaya and weights the genetics 70% indica against 30% sativa. AllBud reviewers say the Papaya side adds a slight fruit note that softens the heavy garlic, and one found that a Papaya-leaning cut tempered the garlic nose.

Garlic, diesel and blue cheese

AllBud says the flavour lives up to the name: herbal garlic with touches of peppery sage and woody pine, over a heavy aroma of pungent garlic, spicy diesel and peppery earth that it says gets stronger the more you smoke. Leafly’s write-up names garlic, citrus and diesel flavours, and its readers’ top picks are cheese, blue cheese and diesel. One Leafly reviewer describes pungent garlic and fuel up front with subtle sweet tropical and citrus notes underneath; others mention a strong diesel and blue-cheese taste, an earthy citrus smell, and a crisp cheese taste despite a very funky smell.

In Leafly’s lab data, limonene is the most abundant terpene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene.

How Garlic Juice buds look

Leafly describes dense, colourful buds in shades of green, purple and orange, and one of its reviewers found them dark green and very sticky, with lots of pistils. AllBud’s picture is of tight, small, grape-shaped buds in emerald green, with plenty of orange hairs under a thick, frosty coat of tiny golden-white trichomes.

Strain THC above 30%

Leafly’s strain page shows THC around 31%, plus about 2% CBG, and says that level suits experienced consumers. AllBud’s header shows 36%, and its write-up gives a 35 to 36% average. Leafly customers report relaxed and happy effects, while AllBud describes a hazy, giddy euphoria within minutes that makes focusing hard but leaves people happy, with an easy body relaxation.

Against strain figures like these, Health Canada‘s smoking advice is modest: a puff or two to begin, and nothing stronger than 10% THC. Effects show up in seconds or minutes, it says, and can go on building for half an hour.
