GMO, also known as "Garlic, Mushroom, Onion" or "Garlic Cookies," is a strain that’s as bold in its name as it is in its flavor. Contrary to popular belief, GMO doesn’t stand for “genetically modified organism”—though this strain’s wildly unique profile might make you think it was cooked up in a lab. Instead, the name is a playful nod to its garlicky, savory aroma that combines hints of onions, mushrooms, and diesel into an unforgettable sensory experience. Some even joke that GMO stands for "Garlic Made Outstanding," which might not be far from the truth.

Its origins are just as intriguing as its name. Bred by Skunkmaster Flex, GMO is the result of crossing Chemdawg and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC)—two cannabis heavyweights with massive fan followings. Chemdawg brings its signature skunky, diesel-forward punch, while GSC contributes sweet, smooth notes and a deeply relaxing high. Together, they created a strain that’s both polarizing and celebrated, proving that savory strains can be just as enticing as their fruity and floral counterparts.

Culturally, GMO has carved out a reputation as a cannabis connoisseur’s strain, appealing to those who appreciate its unapologetically funky aroma and potent effects. Its bold profile—garlic, onions, diesel, and a touch of spice—is a conversation starter, whether you’re enjoying it with fellow enthusiasts or just trying to explain to your friends why your room suddenly smells like a gourmet food truck collided with a fuel station.

What truly sets GMO apart, though, is its slow-building high and intense relaxation. Unlike strains that hit you all at once, GMO creeps in, taking its time to work its magic. This makes it perfect for evenings when you want to gradually melt into the couch and let the stress of the day fade away. It’s a favorite among hash makers too, thanks to its incredible resin production, which translates into concentrates with amplified flavors and effects.

So, while it might not be genetically modified, GMO is definitely genetically magnificent, blending the best of Chemdawg and GSC into a strain that’s funky, flavorful, and unforgettable. Whether you’re in it for the boldness, the potency, or just the fun of explaining its name, GMO delivers an experience that’s anything but ordinary.
