Thin Mint

You know those thin mint cookies that you just can’t have enough of? Well, this multi award winning indica-dominant hybrid strain, Thin Mint, is exactly the same. Just like the actual delicious treats are the most popular Girl Scout Cookies, this strain developed by Elev8 Seeds is the most popular phenotype of the legendary Girl Scout Cookies strain. While it is not a direct product of GSC, its name comes from the GSC flowers for comparable features as much as it comes from its sweet mint scent and flavour. A treasure created by Elev8 Seeds, the strain is produced by crossing Durban Poison and OG Kush genetics. Despite being indica-dominant, Thin Mint is also heavy on the sativa effects, offering users a well-balanced high of euphoric sensations and bodily relaxation, catering to a wide variety of users. Just like the cookies, it’s so tasty that you’ll be wanting more and more–so consume at your own risk!

Effects

A perfect hybrid, the Thin Mint strain allows for users to experience the best of indica and sativa as it offers a high that is both physical and mental. Users will experience cerebral effects that can be euphoric, including a boost of creative energy and an uplifted mood. Recreational users will enjoy these aspects of Thin Mint sativa effects, but it would also aid those seeking to alleviate mood disorders such as depression or PTSD. A calming buzz-like body high would also be felt, making users feel sleepy and hungry, making it ideal for insomnia, nausea and appetite loss.

THC Content

Thin Mint is a well-balanced indica to sativa ratio of 50%:50% that allows for a powerfully blended potency and high experience with a typical THC content measurement that averages a high of 24%. CBD levels in this strain are on the lower side so while it does offer some waves of temporary pain relief, it is not recommended for chronic pain management. Its parents, on the other hand, Durban Poison averages 18%-24% in THC, while OG Kush consistently measures an impressive 20%-25%. Thin Mint phenotype, the famed and original Girl Scout Cookies, can average up to a whopping high of 28% in THC content. But, if you enjoy Thin Mint and are looking for stronger effects, there is no need to look at other strains if you like this particular one for its sweet, minty flavour, for there are many concentrates with similar terpene profiles!

Appearance & Aroma

The buds of the strain are densely packed, and it looks just as beautiful as it smells. The layers of trichomes are thick and frosty, and the green shades are covered in traces of deep purple hues. Thin Mint owns up to its name in both aroma and flavour which are both predominantly deliciously sweet and delightfully minty, like cookies. Undertones further include a mixture of herbs, vanilla and spice. For those who particularly favour the minty freshness of Thin Mint, we highly recommend the Mota Mint Chocolate Pot Cookie or the Mile High Mint Chocolate Bar by Baked Edibles before they’re sold out. Mmmm! Minty fresh!
