Gary Payton

Highlights:
A cross of Chemdawg x Girl Scout Cookie
Dominant terpene: Caryophyllene
Causes giggly and relaxed effects
Brings flavors of apricot and pepper
 
A famous hybrid strain with a name based on someone just (if not way more so) famous, the Gary Payton Strain is a high THC strain that provides a nice, even high, well-known for its ability to stir feelings of creativity within the user. Named after the 90s NBA hall of famer, a legend in his own right, this strain has become equally lauded in the world of hybrids. A cross between Chemdawg and Girl Scout Cookies, the former tends to dominate the terpene profile, with Caryophyllene offering something a spicy, pepper note to the aroma. A potent mix with a high THC concentration and relatively low CBG, it leads to a head-swimming high, but not one that's overly relaxing. Instead, users tend to find that they become giggly and talkative and that thoughts can take on a more creative direction. Meanwhile, flavors of apricot and lavender mix with that spice to create a rich, pungent blend that makes for a very pleasant smoke. Well suited for experienced smokers, the high of a Gary Payton Strain can come on with almost immediate effect. However, it is known to provide a more even-keeled high, giving a feeling of enhanced energy (which can lead to the giggles), but still keeps things in a nice, calming realm.
