Gary Payton Strain

Gary Payton is a high-flying strain that has reached celebrity status over the past few years. Named after the prominent NBA All-Star, this cannabis cultivar dunks on the competition with its zesty flavor, potent effects, and exquisite bag appeal.

The Gary Payton strain was created in a collaborative effort between the Cookies Family and Powerzzzup Genetics. To make this elite hybrid, the breeders crossed The Y, or “Y Griega,” with Snowman. The strain was initially bred in Colorado in 2013 but wasn’t released to the public until 2019 when it quickly became a hit around the United States.

Strain Review

A terpene-rich strain, Gary Payton emits a spicy, savory aroma that is incredibly pungent. This strain smells of diesel fuel, pine, and skunk, with sweet hints of citrus and peach in the background. Its musky taste combines notes of soil and black pepper with delicate undertones of apricot. It’s a complex flavor that keeps users coming back for another hit.

This strain is an even hybrid of Indica and Sativa genetics. As such, it provides a perfectly balanced high that is exceedingly comforting. The cerebral effects hit hard and fast, lifting the mood and inspiring fits of laughter. Within minutes, a soothing stone creeps over the body, easing tension in the muscles. With THC levels reaching 25 percent, this strain is as potent as it is tasty.
