Secret Cookies

Where does Secret Cookies come from?

Fitting the name, its background is not well documented. One strain database lists it as Cherry Pie crossed with Girl Scout Cookies. A grow database calls it a standout cut of Animal Cookies, and another guide gives Cherry Pie crossed with Kush Mints. The one point they share is a place in the Cookies family tree.

Different producers may also be using the name for different plants. It's usually listed as leaning indica, at around 60%.

What does Secret Cookies smell and taste like?

Secret Cookies has an unusual mix: sweet berry and blueberry up front, with coffee, nutty and diesel notes behind it. Reviewers also mention skunk, citrus and tree fruit.

We couldn't find a published terpene breakdown for Secret Cookies, so we're not listing one. If your product's label shows terpenes, that's the best guide to your batch. The flavour is usually described as sweet, fruity and a little nutty.

Secret Cookies effects: what people report

People most often describe Secret Cookies as relaxed, euphoric and focused. Reviewers also mention feeling happy, social and creative, with a light body feel rather than a heavy one.

These are experiences people report, not promises, and there aren't many reviews to go on. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people mention feeling paranoid.

How strong is Secret Cookies?

The only published figure we found is a listing of 28% to 30% THC, which would make it very strong. Other databases don't list a number, so take that range with caution.

Start with a small amount and give it time before having more. The THC on your label is the number that counts, and our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what to look for.

Buying Secret Cookies in Canada

With a disputed lineage and few lab results out there, the label is your best source. Check THC, CBD, any listed terpenes and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds more of that berry and coffee smell.

If you find it, it will most likely be dried flower or pre-rolls.

Secret Cookies vs Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout Cookies is the Cookies-family strain that every account of Secret Cookies traces back to, whether directly or through Animal Cookies. GSC smells sweet, earthy and minty and has a much longer, better-documented history. Secret Cookies swaps the mint for berry and coffee notes. If you want the well-known original, start with GSC. If you're curious about a fruitier, more unusual Cookies strain, try Secret Cookies.
