Cookies Cannabis Brand Revolutionizes Global Cannabis Culture with Iconic Strains

Cookies, a prominent name in the cannabis industry, has become synonymous with innovation and cultural influence, particularly through its iconic strains like Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). Founded by Berner and Jigga around 2011-2012, the brand has grown from a small group of breeders in the Bay Area to a global cannabis powerhouse. Their genetics have been instrumental in creating some of the most popular strains worldwide, deeply impacting the Californian lifestyle and setting a standard for future cannabis giants

The origins of Cookies trace back to Jigga's early fascination with cannabis in the mid-1990s, inspired by his mother's cultivation and cannabis magazines. By 1998, Jigga began cultivating strains like OG Kush, Purple Urkle, and F1 Durban Poison, the latter becoming a genetic backbone for the GSC varieties. His work in the San Francisco Department of Public Health also intertwined with his cannabis cultivation, as he provided cannabis to terminally ill patients to alleviate symptoms, reinforcing his understanding of the plant's health benefits

Girl Scout Cookies, developed in the mid-2000s, quickly gained popularity in the early 2010s, becoming a foundational strain for many others. Jigga recalls the unique qualities of GSC, such as its distinct aroma and dense buds, which captured the attention of cannabis enthusiasts. The strain's street approval and subsequent spread into other gardens highlighted its impact on the cannabis scene, leading to the creation of numerous crossbreeds

Among the descendants of GSC, strains like Sherbert and Gelato have become cultural icons in their own right. Sherbert, developed by Mario Guzman under Jigga's mentorship, introduced a unique pollen from Burmese Kush, while Gelato, with its distinct creamy and gassy flavor, was cultivated in shared gardens in Sacramento and San Francisco. These strains have defined the taste and experience of cannabis, influencing both street and corporate cannabis culture

In recent years, Cookies has continued to expand its influence with strains like Runtz and Gary Payton. Runtz, a cross of Gelato and Zkittlez, showcases the genetic prowess of Cookies, while Gary Payton, developed by Kenny Powers, combines Florida Kush with YLife. These strains, known for their potency and vibrant colors, underscore Cookies' ongoing commitment to innovation and quality in the cannabis industry
