Animal Mints
According to Wikileaf:
If you’re a lover of mint flavors, just about anything sounds delicious when coupled with this taste, even animals. Clearly we’re joking, but the strain dubbed Animal Mint does sound appealing nonetheless. This bud brings about a fair level of uncertainty, as it might be a cross between Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Fire OG, or could stem from Thin Mint GSC and Animal Cookies with a bit of Blue Power in there depending on who you ask.
Now that you’re thoroughly confused, let’s add to that by discussing her potency, which appears to be all over the board. Some note that Animal Mint can be found as low as 15% while others claim that she tops out at 32% THC. These fluffy nugs do feature a decent amount of amber trichomes and tons of sticky resin, so it makes sense that she’d be rather strong. As her genetics would allude to, this strain features flavors and smells of mint, cookie dough, pine, and even a bit of diesel for good measure.
Individuals who want to get completely stoned out of their minds at the end of a long day will love Animal Mint, as this bud takes you from functional to completely sedated and out of it rather quickly. Users will feel incredibly happy and talkative as her cerebral effects kick in, but soon enough you’ll be drifting in and out of any conversation you’re a part of. Settle down with a blanket and pillow before you smoke, because couch lock will be so extreme you might as well go to sleep wherever you are.
Medical issues can take their toll on even the strongest of people, and sometimes potent cannabis is the only thing that gets the job done. Animal Mint will relieve users of anxiety and depression quite naturally, as trying to form any complete thoughts are a huge challenge. Similarly, physical ailments including migraines, insomnia, and even difficulty maintaining an appetite can all be aided with a few Stokes.
Given that she’s powerful beyond belief and brings a plethora of flavors to your smoking experience, it’s only natural to want Animal Mint as a part of your home garden. Sadly, it seems that this bud was never made available in seed form, and since no one really knows who her true breeders even are, any chance of finding clones is highly unlikely.
Take your time to search high and low for Animal Mint, as this gal is more than worth the effort. Before you toke, make sure to completely clear your calendar, get some snacks ready, and make yourself comfortable on the couch. If you have friends over, let them know that you’re checking out for the night and anything you say or do can’t be held against you in the morning!

The hybrid Mai Tai strain is a tropical strain that likely gets its sweet and tangy terpene profile from crossing Maui Waui with Tutti Frutti. However, there is some debate over this strain’s genetics as some claim it to be the cross between Sunset Sherbet and Purple Punch.
Either way, when you open up a package of Mai Tai, you’ll be greeted with notes of citrus and berries combined with hints of fresh, damp earth and tropical flowers similar to what the cocktail offers.
