The Origin Story: Born to Be a Legend

Named after the Hall of Famer Gary "The Glove" Payton, this strain comes from a top-tier collaboration between Cookies and Powerzzzup Genetics. It’s a powerful indica of The Y and Snowman, both known for bringing serious strength and unique terpene profiles.

What does that mean for you? A strain that’s as well-balanced as it is bold, just like the man it’s named after.

The High: Game-Time Focus Meets Body Chill
