Ye’ olden tale of Girl Scout Cookies.
Once upon a time in the early 90’s there were a bunch of little girls from Girl Scouts selling cookies outside the entrance/exit of a Bradlees department store. Suddenly a forrest green cargo van rolled up blasting Paranoid by Black Sabbath and screeches to a hault.
The side door rolls open releasing a billowing nebula, imported from Mexico. Then the riders oozed from the van. It was 1/2 horror film and 1/2 Cheech and Chong movie. One by one, they all looked like they either crawled out from under a table at a local bar or should have been in an 80’s heavy metal video. But then the plot thickens, the last guy gets out.
He’s 6ft 8in tall, about 375lbs, with hair frizzy and long. All in black, leather jacket with accompanying Metallica patches all over the back, and wearing dark glasses. Oh, and let’s not forget the spikes. Like from knuckles to elbows on both arms. 1/2 metal fan and 1/2 Road Warrior. A real monster…
Each step must have been like thunder in the backs of their minds as he approached the mothers looked more and more horrified. Just before they were about to grab the kids and run away screaming…
He walks over and kneels down so he can talk to the smallest scout there and asks, “Hey little one. Got any Samoas?”
The little girl nodded in silence with big round eyes.
“Cool. We’ll take all of ‘em.”
”All of them?” Asked one of the moms.
”Yup. Here… Keep the change” He replied, paying too much for Girl Scout Cookies. The strangers left as strangely and quickly as they had arrived; a screeching, Ozzy and cannabis air filled moment in time.
~True Story~
The big guy was me in like 92 or 93. My appearance has changed since then, but that story comes to mind every single time someone says Girl Scout Cookies. This also became the name of a very popular and personal favorite cannabis strain which originated in CA by crossing the strains of OG KUSH and DURBAN POISON.
Normally known these days as GSC (due to legal stuff) it always has an awesome look, taste, and feel. When they do it right it’s always amazing. The blossoms glitter, almost looking like a cold frost on top of purple nuggets surrounded in fiery red hairs.
I always look forward to charring the flower. The embers released an earthy yet floral type flavor on the intake and very VERY sweet on the exhaust. Excellent flavors which delivered both cerebral and physical sensations as an end result. Very relaxing and euphoric. Awesome Hybrid. This will forever be one of my favorite strains. I pick it up whenever I see it on a menu.
