Blue Dream vs GMO Cookies: two hybrids that could not be more different

"Hybrid" is the least useful word on a cannabis menu. Blue Dream and GMO Cookies both carry it, and they sit at opposite ends of the shelf. Here is how they differ and how to decide.

Blue Dream

A California classic from the early 2000s: Blueberry crossed with Haze. It leans sativa, which on a label usually means lighter and more awake. The smell is sweet blueberry with a herbal edge, and the taste follows the smell. Customers describe it as easy, clear and daytime friendly, the strain they pick for a hike in Griffith Park or a long afternoon of errands.

We carry Blue Dream as a 14 g premium jar labeled around 34 percent, and as shake by the ounce for people who roll their own and care more about volume than bag appeal.

GMO Cookies

GMO stands for Garlic, Mushroom, Onion, and the name is honest. It is Chemdawg crossed with Girl Scout Cookies and it smells like a deli counter next to a gas station. People who love it really love it. It leans indica and customers describe it as heavy, slow and long lasting. This is not a daytime strain for most people.

We carry GMO Cookies as a 14 g premium jar. Skill also makes a 3.5 g called Holy GMOly for anyone who wants to try the profile without buying half an ounce.

Side by side

• Smell: Blue Dream is blueberry and herbs. GMO is garlic, fuel and funk.
• Lean: Blue Dream toward sativa. GMO toward indica.
• Time of day: Blue Dream earlier, GMO later.
• First-timers: Blue Dream. GMO is an acquired taste.

What "hybrid" tells you

Almost nothing on its own. Read the lineage, read the smell notes, and if a jar says hybrid with no other detail, ask us. The label THC is a sample number; how it feels depends on you and the batch.
