Space Cookies strain guide
3 min read · Updated · WeedDB editors
Space Cookies is a hybrid that crosses Girl Scout Cookies with an Afghani. It has a piney, woody smell with a touch of citrus and sweetness, and people usually describe a lively start that eases into a relaxed body feel.
Where does Space Cookies come from?
The listings agree on the basic cross: Girl Scout Cookies paired with an Afghani. One strain database describes the Afghani side as an unnamed landrace cut, so the exact plant behind it isn't known.
One strain database credits the seed company Paradise Seeds, but we couldn't confirm that in a second source, so treat the breeder as not well documented. Most listings call it a hybrid with a slight indica lean.
What does Space Cookies smell and taste like?
Pine and wood come first, with citrus and a soft sweetness behind them. Some listings also mention nutty, spicy and peppery notes, which fits the Afghani side of the family more than the Cookies side.
One strain database's published terpene results lead with limonene, then pinene and caryophyllene. Limonene brings the citrus, pinene the fresh pine and caryophyllene a peppery edge. The taste is usually described as sweet and woody with a spicy finish.
Space Cookies effects: what people report
People most often call Space Cookies energetic, uplifted and focused at the start. As it settles, reports shift toward relaxed and happy, and one strain database describes a quick, lively onset followed by a heavier body feel. A few reviewers lean the other way and call it sleepy, so it isn't the same for everyone.
These are reports, not promises. How it feels depends on the batch, how much you have and your tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and several people mention strong munchies.
How strong is Space Cookies?
Space Cookies sits in the moderate to high range. Published listings put it at about 18% to 22% THC, with very little CBD.
If it's new to you, start small and wait before having more. The label on your batch is the number that counts, and our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what to look for.
Buying Space Cookies in Canada
Space Cookies is less common than its Cookies relatives, so read labels carefully. A product called Space Cake or Cosmic Cookies is a different strain, even if the names sound close.
If you find it, check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds on to more of that pine and citrus smell.
Space Cookies vs Girl Scout Cookies
Girl Scout Cookies is one of the parents, and the difference shows up mostly in smell. GSC leans sweet and earthy with a doughy, minty side, while Space Cookies trades that for pine, wood and citrus. GSC is usually listed several points higher in THC. Both get described as happy and relaxed, though Space Cookies reads more energetic at the start. If you want the classic Cookies sweetness, go with GSC. If a fresher, piney profile sounds better, try Space Cookies.
