GMO is a potent indica-dominant hybrid strain crafted through the cross of two well-known cultivars, Girl Scout Cookies and Chemdawg. Pungent, earthy and garlicky is the name of the game when it comes to GMO. Expect a bold combination of flavors backed by loud diesel undertones that linger on your tastebuds. In fact, its flavor is how the strain got its name — GMO is short for “garlic, mushroom and onion. GMO stands out for its rich terpene profile, with three key terpenes contributing to the strain’s standout aroma and potential therapeutic potential. Caryophyllene, known for its peppery and spicy notes, provides potential anti-inflammatory and stress-relieving properties. Limonene adds a citrusy and zesty fragrance, while myrcene adds earthy and musky undertones. Patients say that the GMO strain has shown promise in managing mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, providing consumers with a sense of emotional balance and tranquility. They also turn to the GMO strain for aches and pains, help getting to sleep, and it's appetite inducing effects. With its very high THC content, GMO may not be the right fit for newcomers and low-tolerance cannabis consumers. That’s because too much THC can trigger anxiety or paranoia in some, especially if you know you’re predisposed to these reactions. Additional common yet minor side effects include dry mouth and dry eyes, typical symptoms that can be alleviated with adequate hydration; always start with a lower dose and gradually increase as needed to ensure a more enjoyable and controlled experience with this potent strain.
