Cookie Dough is a medicinal cannabis strain that sits as a balanced 50/50 Sativa–Indica hybrid, with many users noting an Indica-leaning effect. Visually, the buds offer a soft, crystalline appearance crowned by yellowish and orange tints that catch the light and invite a closer look.
Its fragrance is a calm, inviting blend of minty and sweet aromas, and the taste follows suit with a predominantly sweet profile punctuated by a cool mint note. On the finish, hints of orange and a touch of skunk can emerge, reinforcing the layered flavor that inspired its name.
Chemically, Cookie Dough carries a high THC level of about 25 percent, with CBD and CBN collectively ranging from zero to ten percent. The effects are described as analgesic and neuroprotective, paired with an appetite-stimulating kick that can help with weight gain. Users also report relief from anxiety and stress, and the strain is noted for potential benefits in chronic pain, nausea, and insomnia, with some accounts suggesting it may aid cancer patients in inhibiting cancer growth. Common side effects include dryness of the eyes and mouth and mild dizziness.
