Scottie Piffen strain guide
Scottie Piffen is an indica-leaning cross of Gelato 33 and Biscotti, named with a nod to basketball great Scottie Pippen. People know it for a spicy, herbal smell with gas underneath and a happy, relaxed feel. It's a newer strain with fairly few reports so far.
Where does Scottie Piffen come from?
Scottie Piffen is a cross of Gelato 33 and Biscotti. One strain database and Theory Wellness both list that pairing, and Theory Wellness credits the breeder as Tranquil Forest. Gelato 33 is a well-known cut of Gelato, and Biscotti comes from the same Gelato family, so this is a cross that stays close to home.
Don't confuse it with Scottie Pippen, sometimes sold as Number 33. One strain database lists that one as a Biscotti and Lemon Cherry Gelato cross from an unknown breeder. The names are close, but the listed parents differ, so treat them as separate strains.
What does Scottie Piffen smell and taste like?
Scottie Piffen smells spicy and herbal, with a gassy, diesel-like note and some earth. One strain database adds sour citrus, flowers and a nutty, sweet cookie side that fits its Biscotti parent. The taste tends to follow: cookie and sage up front, citrus on the finish.
No major strain database publishes a terpene profile for Scottie Piffen, so we don't list one here. Check the label on your product, since some producers print their own terpene results.
Scottie Piffen effects: what people report
People describe Scottie Piffen as happy and mood-lifting at first, with a slow build that seems to hit all at once. A heavier, relaxed body feel follows, and one strain database says it can turn sleepy toward the end. Theory Wellness describes a full-body feel that still leaves room to get things done.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. There are very few written reviews so far, so common complaints aren't well documented yet.
How strong is Scottie Piffen?
One strain database lists Scottie Piffen at about 15% to 23% THC, with very little CBD. That's the only published range we found, so the batch in front of you could test higher or lower.
If you're new to it, start small and wait before having more. The THC and CBD numbers on the label are the ones that count. Our THCa vs THC guide explains why some labels show two different numbers.

Scottie Piffen vs Biscotti
Biscotti is one of Scottie Piffen's parents, a sweet, cookie-like strain with a diesel edge. Scottie Piffen keeps the nutty cookie note but leans more spicy and herbal, with extra gas. Biscotti is usually listed higher in THC and is better documented, while Scottie Piffen has fewer reports and a wider range. If you like Biscotti's flavour but want something spicier, Scottie Piffen is a close cousin to try.
