About Girl Scout Cookies
The cross that reshaped the American market in the 2010s, and a parent of a long list of what followed.
Girl Scout Cookies brought OG Kush together with Durban Poison in the San Francisco Bay Area and became the template for a generation of dessert-named cultivars.
Its descendants — Gelato, Sunset Sherbet, Wedding Cake and others — account for a large share of what is sold today.
