Do Si Dos

Where does Do Si Dos come from?

Do Si Dos was bred by Archive Seed Bank in Oregon. It's usually given as a cross of Girl Scout Cookies and Face Off OG, or more precisely OGKB (OG Kush Breath, a particular cut of Girl Scout Cookies) and Face Off OG BX1, a backcrossed version of Face Off OG.

The name nods to the Girl Scouts' peanut butter sandwich cookies. Its release year isn't well documented, but by 2018 it was already a well-known name. It has since become a popular parent, behind strains such as Slurricane.

What does Do Si Dos smell and taste like?

Do Si Dos smells sweet and earthy, with a doughy cookie note, a floral funk and a hint of gas from the OG side. Some people also pick up mint or lime, and some cuts lean toward grape or berry.

Limonene is the terpene listed most often, with caryophyllene and linalool behind it, adding citrus, pepper and floral notes. The flavour is usually sweet and earthy, with a little spice on the finish.

Do Si Dos effects: what people report

Reports of Do Si Dos lean calm and relaxed, with a noticeable body feel and a happy, euphoric headspace. Sleepy comes up often too, and some people mention a tingly feeling. How heavy it feels is up for debate: some say it relaxes them without couch-lock, others find it more sedating.

These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the usual complaints, and some people mention feeling dizzy.

How strong is Do Si Dos?

Do Si Dos is usually a high-THC strain, but the numbers vary a lot. Listed figures run anywhere from about 16% to 30% THC, with very little CBD.

With a range that wide, the name tells you little about your batch. If you're new to it, start small and give it time before having more, especially with edibles, which can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. Your batch's THC and CBD are on the label.

Buying Do Si Dos in Canada

Many producers grow Do Si Dos, and Archive released several numbered selections of it, so products can differ in THC, smell and even colour.

Check the label for the batch's THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of its smell. You might see it as dried flower, pre-rolls, milled flower or vape cartridges.

Do Si Dos vs Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout Cookies is a parent of Do Si Dos, so the two share a sweet, earthy cookie base. GSC leans sweeter and mintier, and people tend to describe it as relaxed, happy and hungry. Do Si Dos adds a floral, slightly gassy funk from its Face Off OG side and gets called sleepy more often. Both usually test high for THC. If you want the classic sweet and minty profile, go with GSC. For something earthier and heavier, Do Si Dos fits better.
