Gary Payton Strain Overview
Gary Payton is not just a Hall of Fame NBA star; he’s also the name of a sought-after cannabis cultivar. Gary Payton (allegedly formerly known as Strain #20—coincidentally the Point Guard’s former jersey number) is an uplighting cultivar with The Y and Snowman genetics. These genetics are sometimes confused with Cereal Milk [Y Life x Snowman], as they both come from Y-based genetics. However, Y Life and The Y are made from two completely different crosses of parent plants.
Gary Payton lends itself to uplifting and energizing effects. Users report feelings of euphoria, socialness, creativity, giggles, and focus. It has flavors and aromas of spicy, sour, diesel, and pepper with sweet, fruity undertones of apricots, blueberry, and lemon. Some even detect slight hints of lavender. Medical cannabis patients report using Gary Payton in an effort to treat conditions like anxiety, stress, depression, and migraines.
Strain profile, effects, and common uses are based on customer reviews. Further research is needed, and effects may vary by user. Information on this page does not constitute or replace medical advice.
