Platinum Cookies Strain Effects & Common Usage
Many individuals find relief from anxiety, stress, and pain when using Platinum GSC, potentially due to the moderately high THC levels, reaching upwards of 26%, and the addition of terpenes like myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene.

Happy. THC may promote happiness, likely by promoting the release of dopamine.

Anxiety. Myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene may offer anxiety relief alongside low doses of THC.
