Grape Cookies strain guide
2 min read · Updated · WeedDB editors
Grape Cookies is an indica-leaning hybrid with a sweet grape and berry smell. It's usually listed as Girl Scout Cookies crossed with Grape Kush, and people describe a happy start that settles into a relaxed, sleepy feel.
Where does Grape Cookies come from?
The cross most often given is Girl Scout Cookies and Grape Kush. One listing names the Forum Cut of Girl Scout Cookies specifically, and another credits Pisces Genetics.
There's a second version out there too. One strain database lists Grape Cookies from Purple Caper as Cherry Pie crossed with a Cookie F2. So the name likely covers more than one plant, and the original breeder is not well documented.
What does Grape Cookies smell and taste like?
Grape leads, with berry, plum and a sweet, floral side. Many batches carry a little diesel and musk underneath, and the flavour is sweet and grapey with a doughy, cookie-like finish.
One strain database lists caryophyllene first, followed by myrcene and limonene. Caryophyllene gives a peppery note, myrcene an earthy depth and limonene a bit of brightness.
Grape Cookies effects: what people report
People most often describe a mood lift up front that slides into heavy relaxation, and plenty mention getting hungry or sleepy as it goes on. A few call it creative or focused early on, which may reflect the different versions sold under the name.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are common complaints, and some people mention feeling paranoid.
How strong is Grape Cookies?
Listings put Grape Cookies at roughly 17% to 22% THC, which is moderate to high by today's standards, with little CBD.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and wait before having more. Your label's THC and CBD numbers are a better guide than the strain name.
Buying Grape Cookies in Canada
Since more than one cross goes by this name, check the producer and any lineage notes on the package. Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date too, since fresher flower holds more of that grape smell.
Grape Cookies vs Grape Kush
Grape Kush is the parent most listings name, and it's where the grape comes from. Grape Kush leans earthier and more kush-like, while Grape Cookies adds a sweet, doughy edge from its Cookies side. Both are described as relaxing, though Grape Cookies is more often linked to a happy lift before it settles. If you want earthy grape, try Grape Kush. If you'd like it sweeter, go with Grape Cookies.
