Peyote Cookies strain guide
2 min read · Updated · WeedDB editors
Peyote Cookies is an indica cross of Peyote Purple and Cookies Kush. People know it for an unusual coffee and vanilla smell and a heavy, relaxed body feel. It's a smaller name, so there's less written about it than about the big Cookies strains.
Where does Peyote Cookies come from?
Two strain databases agree that Peyote Cookies is a cross of Peyote Purple and Cookies Kush. Peyote Purple is a purple-leaning indica, and Cookies Kush brings in Cookies family genetics.
Who made the cross is not well documented. Despite the name, Cookies Kush is not the same strain as Girl Scout Cookies, though the names are often confused.
What does Peyote Cookies smell and taste like?
Coffee is the note people mention most, followed by vanilla and a sweet, earthy base. Some listings also describe a tropical or guava-like hint, which is unusual next to the roasted coffee side.
One strain database lists pinene as the most common terpene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene. Pinene brings a fresh, piney edge, myrcene an earthy depth and caryophyllene a peppery bite.
Peyote Cookies effects: what people report
People most often describe Peyote Cookies as relaxed, sleepy and tingly, with a happy, euphoric start that settles into a heavy body feel. It's often called long-lasting, and hunger comes up in a few reviews.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness are the most common complaints.
How strong is Peyote Cookies?
Published listings put Peyote Cookies at about 17% to 20% THC, with very little CBD. One strain database also lists small amounts of CBG and THCV. That's moderate by today's standards.
If you're new to it, start small and wait before having more. The numbers printed on your label matter more than the strain name.
