Smarties is a hybrid cannabis strain, typically slightly indica-dominant (60% indica/40% sativa), created by crossing Blue City Diesel with Girl Scout Cookies (GSC), and sometimes noted as including Diesel in a three-way cross. Developed through collaborations like Connected Cannabis Co. and Cookies Fam, or attributed to breeder Kush4Breakfast, it has gained popularity, notably winning third place for Best Hybrid Flower at the 2018 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
Flavor and Aroma: True to its candy namesake, Smarties offers a sweet, fruity, and tart terpene profile with prominent notes of blueberry, berry, citrus, and diesel. Subtle hints of mint, sage, cookie dough, and earthy undertones may also be present. Its aroma often starts with chemical notes but transitions to a pleasant berry and citrus blend.
Effects: Smarties delivers balanced effects, combining physical relaxation with mental stimulation. Users report feelings of euphoria, creativity, focus, and talkativeness, often accompanied by a giggly, uplifting high. It’s versatile for daytime or afternoon use but may cause couch-lock or sedation at higher doses due to its indica-leaning nature. Common side effects include dry mouth, dry eyes, and, less frequently, anxiety, fatigue, or low blood pressure.
