GMO Pie strain guide
GMO Pie is a hybrid of GMO and Georgia Pie, credited to Raw Genetics. It keeps the savoury garlic and diesel smell GMO is known for, softened by a sweet, baked side, and people mostly describe a calm, relaxed feel.
Where does GMO Pie come from?
Sources agree on the cross: GMO, the garlicky strain also sold as Garlic Cookies, as the mother, and Georgia Pie, a peachy, dessert-style strain, as the father. Seed databases and the breeder's seed listings name Raw Genetics as the breeder, though one strain database lists the breeder as unknown.
It's still a fairly rare strain, and sources don't agree on its balance. One strain database calls it an even hybrid, while the seed listing describes it as mostly indica. The name simply joins its two parents.
What does GMO Pie smell and taste like?
Expect savoury before sweet. GMO Pie smells of garlic, earthy diesel and a funky, cheesy note, with a sweet, baked-goods undertone from the Georgia Pie side. One reviewer described it as smelling like GMO, only milder.
The flavour is usually described as creamy and nutty, with a buttery, sweet and sour edge and a pungent exhale. We couldn't find published lab terpene results. The breeder's seed listing names caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene, but its lists don't fully agree, so treat that as a rough guide and check your product's label.
GMO Pie effects: what people report
People mostly describe GMO Pie as calm and relaxed, with a heavier body feel, and some say it makes them sleepy. Others mention feeling focused or creative at first. The seed listing pitches it for the evening, and reviewers lean the same way.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and there aren't many reviews yet. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the common complaints, and some people mention feeling anxious, though a few said they found it gentler than GMO on that front.
How strong is GMO Pie?
GMO Pie is a high-THC strain. Listings put it anywhere from about 21% to 30% THC, with the top of that range coming from the breeder's own seed listing. CBD is very low.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The THC and CBD numbers for your batch are on the label, and they matter more than the strain name.
Buying GMO Pie in Canada
GMO has been crossed with many strains, so read the label closely. GMO Pie is a different strain from GMO itself, from GMO Rootbeer and from other Pie crosses such as Cherry Pie or Grape Pie.
Check the THC number and packaging date, and keep in mind that a strong garlic smell is part of the appeal here, not a flaw.
GMO Pie vs GMO
GMO is GMO Pie's mother, and the family resemblance is obvious in the jar. Both smell of garlic and fuel and both have a relaxed reputation. GMO is the louder of the two, all savoury funk, while GMO Pie adds a sweet, baked side from Georgia Pie that rounds off the edges. If you want the full garlic experience, go with GMO. If you'd like that profile with a little sweetness, try GMO Pie.
