WHO has the OFFICIAL GSC? IS IT YOU?

[dirtyshawa]

I have never grown or smoked the gsc from the internet, but when cookies was first brought up on icmag and getting hyped out of this world, I went to San francisco and bought my fair share of gsc and cherry pie. I bought LOTS of gsc from three sources and specifically brought up the internet's forum cut and all three said, if it didn't come from the cookies fam (Burner and crew) it was fake. Two super legit San Francisco dudes and one guy very solid guy out of Oakland. Personally, I think the internet and what was originally put on the market are two different things. I don't know, but that's what my gut tells me. The east coast is flooded with gsc now (or what is called gsc), which Inho believe is the internet version, just a guess though. The smell is there, but that is not what I paid 2800-3200 3-4 yrs ago in the Bay (which is way too much to be paying there). Just my opinion and like I said, I haven't had the internet gsc that has been circulated, which may be the real deal. However, from boots on the ground the two aren't the same. Lastly, just my personal opinion, if I were verifying a cut through internet pics I would put it against pieguy on IG. The streets in the Bay say that is official. Best of luck to those hunting for the real deal gsc...Real deal cherry pie is better imho though.

I believe 'most' of the Cookie Fam's story...I also believe that they never did let out their Original Girl Scout Cookies cut...it's nothing new to have hybrids & S1's take over a market and become widespread when a truly elite cut is hoarded & held tight (same thing happened to TrainWreck back in the day...the real cut never made it out but hybrids & S1's proliferated en masse). I don't fully agree with their tactics & marketing strategies but I completely understand the why's to their secrecy & vagueness in regards to GSC's heredity...especially considering everyone & their mother is trying to make a dollar off of the hype that these cats have generated. It seems in todays world Mystery will outsell Transparency 10 to 1 in most scenarios...just my thoughts on things. :oldman:

Smart man
Can't wait for your gear @Nspecta.
There's cookie fam cooks and sherbs up here in Seattle occasionally, $20 dispensary grams.bagseeds have been found

EXCELLENT pointers FROM THE BIG DAWGS. I agree with you Nspecta and Dirtyshawa. It seems like alot of people will make you Believe its legit when they don't know what the legitimacy is really about. Me myself just wanna get to the HONEST STRAIN of gsc to see if it's something to hold onto. Being from Oakland i know when dude's come out about something as revered as gsc, odds are they're being halfway honest. I just wanna see ,smoke, hopefully one day grow what's legit. I believe its my birthright if im from the bay myself lol. Too bad everybody's in prison or passed away, cuz im sure ive could've gotten a tru piece. Thanks for you dude's inputs @Nspecta, @dirtyshawa !!. Btw @Nspecta , that game changer and Obama is SICK BRO. RESPECT.

I have the real gsc cut but it costs 250 racks and nobody outside of my crew will ever have it but it's the best ever and you only wish you could smoke the ashes!!!

Pardon the sarcasm but once again if it's not platinum cookies, which is amazing And has won many cups, or the animal cookies (which is the better of the two IMO and tastes better than anything out of the bay) then what is it worth? If it's not what the market knows as cookies (keep in mind I grow cookies and live in the bay) then what's the point ? It's just a load of crap until it hits the market.

Ummm what's the application process for your crew members? Lmfao. I can dig it bro, legit shit costs. That is the main reason im thinking i haven't laid eye's on the REAL her yet lol. Wait did you say 250 Racks as in G's? That's incredibly retarded to pay THAT much, of course if you can afford it then Ball On Balla! From the bay as well, and i know how tightly held genetics can be. Like trying to go in the basement library of artifacts at the Vatican. I consider those with the opportunity to have and preserve these type of genetics as "Chosen".

LMAO! I know who has the real cookies... its HER! but you got to get past Him to gEt em. GOOD luck motherfuckerz.LoL

Mystery begets curiosity... and curiosity in tandem with exclusivity is one hell of a marketing scheme.

If there are two weed gurus sitting in front of a pile of flowers to be judged, and one guy loves cookie flower A, and the other prefers cookie flower B, then you can bet anybody who listens to the debate will be curious about BOTH. Plus, if you're listening to the debate or still reading this post, then I'm sure you can be convinced to pay a premium price to satisfy your curiosity. The grass is always greener somewhere.

Two points worth considering: credible ganjaphiles don't spend much time talking about mediocre herb, and good herb always causes a debate. Period. Why? Because powerful new strain families make people who have not grown or smoked them curious about how the plants in their own gardens measure against the new upstart. This is where most of the heated debate and hype starts...and at the end of the day its all a cock measuring contest and most of the debate is about splitting hairs. Really.

The point missing from this discussion is that most of the genuine hype is helpful because it begins a debate that describes a set of identifiable characteristics in a unique/novel combination. That debate about the combination of characteristics begins to define a new 'family'...... like the diesel family, the chems, the og's, the hazes, the kushes etc... and these family names are generally shorthand/lingo descriptions of a set of identifiable characteristics and effects. That's what these discussions are all about: curiosity about a new family of herb that has character.

So..... if a strain consistently meets the expectations of credible growers in many different gardens, then it starts to build a name. Names that produce reliable results in a variety of environments (and in offspring) generally start to etch themselves into history as a 'family'. Growth characteristics aside, the differences in people's palate and the chemistry of our bodies erodes the debate about which plants in the family (original, hybrids, s1's) are 'better' because it is based on subjective opinions. For that reason, the search for one specific plant based on name alone is kind of pointless unless you have a collector mindset, and must have the NAME.

Happy 4/20 guys. Stay high. :)

I like how they lay claim to being the original holders of OG.

“The Kush we had, the parent, originally was one of those local strains where you couldn’t get any cuts,” Jigga continued. “But we had access to those genetics -- something that was brought to Southern California from Jacksonville, FL, from some Deadhead friend. Our friend brought it to San Francisco around 1994. It was known as ‘Kush’ until Snoop and B-Real started to name it ‘OG Kush’ -- one of the dankest Kushes of all time.”

The whole thing reeks of exclusion and elitism.

Ya imho all the reading/smoking ive done.the forum cut is not the real deal......don't get me wrong its straight fire...but if I was those cats I'd never let her go... i'd just release crosses of her.. forum cut, animal, platinum, cherry pie ... if this is true the real deal must be a holy grail..anyways just my input... gg#4 is better anyways with better yeild..but have u guys heard about the real deal gg#3? Lol jk..

 

[ftwendy]

It's seems worth mentioning the let-down most people experience when they meet their heroes... because sometimes they're just poorly dressed old men. Then again, sometimes you need to let the old man speak to understand why his words shake the Earth. It can go both ways.

The point I'm making is that reading online reviews and ogling over bud porn will do nothing to help you form your own opinions. And that's the only thing that matters. You need to get out there and try these flowers yourself. Then you will know how the 'real' cookies measures against the hyrids and s1's, and who has what, and what you like.

That said, I know its not easy in some places to get out and find the cookies, but the only way to move this discussion forward is by making your own observations and adding them to the mix. If making your own observations means research and starting beans from a reputable breeder here, or chasing a clone locally, or endlessly hunting genuine flowers in the bay, then so be it. That is the price of knowing

Good points from everybody. Just wanna say happy 420 to all, and i would DIE to try or grow tha original cookies fwiw. My whole idea and purpose is to preserve the.genetics while enjoying them. What's on everybody's plate today? NOBODY blowing them official cookies today?

And that gg#4 is held tighter than jew pussy. Tried reaching out to a few farmer's and neglect is all i received. Thought the whole purpose was to spread love and genetics, its ALWAYS about that $$$$!!!

Anyone that pays 5-8kfor a cut is retarded. If not severely, then at least moderately. Even someone that was mildly retarded wouldn't pay over $100. I'm pretty sure we can all agree that taking advantage of retarded people is wrong regardless of the degree of their retardation. So in my view bragging about abusing developmentally delayed individuals and then attempting to use that as some sort of marketing ploy is rather unsavory.

Anyway, I'm a proponent of the Durban Daddy Purps or Grand Durban PurplePoison synthesis theory. As I have intimate experience with DP and GDP I see this synopsis as the most potentially valid. The forum cunt, er cut is not the GSC cut. They are likely sister plants in my opinion. More interesting is the earlier Thin Mint cut from the late nineties. It's in the same ballpark as far as terpene profile goes, yet is completely unrelated an unhyped. All three have me reaching for their jars more often than not....don't even get me started on the cherry pie. That shit is fire too. This genetic pocket of dankness needs to be worked by professional farmers not a slick ht marketing team.

 

[mastacheeser]

I would a dropped $5gs for a legit cookie cut 5 years ago

If your not first, your last

 

[zeke]

Offensive Semitic snatch references aside, how is it you don't have the gg? It seems everybody and their shady uncle is sporting that cut. I've been offered it enough times I'm almost curious.... The Cherry pie is one of the sickest smoking and smelling cuts I've ran. High is short lived but that taste and reekage totally compensate. There's definitely a skunk in the woodpile.

I wish i was you zeke. Your taste in genetics, ONLY rival's a French Wine Connoisseur. Ive been dying to try both, TRU GSC, And Gg#4 for i hear its GREAT for muscle spasms and muscle pains. Seems with the SHEER POSITIVE integrity of a few farmer's, my dreams may come true. But my question to you Fine Sir is. What four strains would you work to CREATE, something" Cookie Esque? Thanks for your knowledge Zeke, your the one who pushed me without knowing, into my sativa hunt again.
