Nevada Mints strain guide
Nevada Mints is an indica-leaning hybrid with a sweet, minty cookie smell. Sources don't agree on its parents, but they do agree on the mint, and people tend to describe it as relaxed and a little giggly.
Where does Nevada Mints come from?
Nevada Mints' family tree is disputed. One strain database lists it as a Highrule Genetics strain bred from a cross of Do Si Dos and Kush Mints, then crossed again with Wedding Cake. Another database gives a different answer: OG Kush crossed with Cookies Kush. With no agreement, its lineage is best called not well documented.
The breeder notes on one strain database say it was picked for grow facilities in Nevada because it yields well and finishes early, which would explain the name.
What does Nevada Mints smell and taste like?
Mint leads, as the name suggests, backed by sweet cookie dough and an earthy, kushy base. One strain database also mentions citrus and a spicy, herbal edge.
One strain database lists limonene as its top terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. Limonene fits the citrus hint, caryophyllene the peppery spice and myrcene the earthy side.
Nevada Mints effects: what people report

These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is Nevada Mints?
One strain database gives a typical range of about 22% to 30% THC, which puts it with the stronger strains, and lists very little CBD.

Buying Nevada Mints in Canada
Nevada Mints is uncommon, and because sources disagree on its parents, two products with this name may not be the same plant. If the producer lists the lineage, that tells you which version you're getting.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of the mint.
Nevada Mints vs Kush Mints
Kush Mints is the better-known mint strain, and one strain database's version of Nevada Mints has it in its background. Both smell of cool mint and sweet cookies, though Kush Mints carries more gas underneath while Nevada Mints is described as sweeter and earthier. Their THC ranges are similar, and both get called relaxed and euphoric. If you can find Kush Mints more easily, it's a good stand-in.
