Zookies

Alien Labs, one of the world's top cannabis breeding collectives (based out of California, USA), are responsible for some of the best strains of the past decade. If names like Gelato, MAC 1, GMO, and the ever-popular (and new-school game-changing) Zkittlez sound familiar, then you are already well acquainted with their work.

Next up in their seemingly never-ending list of top-shelf bangers is the ridiculous Zookies. A canna enthusiast strain through and through, with a flavour and stank that doesn't quit, a high that is sure to please most, and a growth structure that will turn rookies into pros in no time.

So, why do we think that Zookies is one of the best strains to come out of Alien Labs, and one that every true cannaisseur should try ASAP?

• The Lineage - Gorilla Glue #4 is, without any shadow of a doubt, one of the most enduring, delicious, and downright dirty hybrid strains of the 21st century. You know, we know it, everyone knows it, and for good reason. Well, take a little GG#4 and mix it with Animal Cookies, another seminal new-school hybrid, and you have the makings of Zookies. World-class genetics born and bred by some of the best in the business - can it get any better?
• The Potency - GG#4 was the first mass-market strain to consistently produce plus 30% THC, and while Zookies tames that back just slightly, it still clocks in at a ridiculous 24% - 28%+. On top of that, the Zookies weed strain also offers up around 1% of CBG, and about 0.5% CBD, making the cannabinoid profile about as interesting as anything we have seen in the past 5 years.
• The Effects - This cannabinoid profile, mixed with the heavy dose of beta-caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene terpenes makes for an incredibly relaxing physical high, coupled with a cerebral buzz that last for (no joke) upwards of three hours. As a medical cannabis strain, Zookies is perfect for those dealing with stress, anxiety, pain, depression, and fatigue. For recreational users, expect a happy, uplifting high that changes over time and keeps you guessing, in all the right ways. A perfectly balanced hybrid weed strain indeed.
• The Taste and Smell - Zookies doesn't skimp on the funk, not for one second. Stank-wise, it keeps more in line with the GG#4 side of the spectrum, with very little sweetness to speak of, but just so much peppery petrol and nutty goodness mixed over a creamy, almost chocolatey backing. So, it really does come as a surprise just how much of the Animal Cookie sweetness comes through on the inhale, and how varied in terms of fruitiness and herbal aftertaste each pull is. Delicious through and through!
