About Garlic Icing
Garlic Icing is an indica-leaning strain that crosses Papaya with GMO. It pairs a sweet tropical parent with GMO, one of the best-known savory strains, and it has earned a spot in 420 best-strain lists and on dispensary menus in several US legal markets.
The aroma is pungent and savory, with garlic and funk up front softened by a sweet, frosting-like finish from the Papaya side. Buds are typically dense and very frosty, often with dark green and purple hues. Caryophyllene often adds a spicy, savory depth, myrcene can bring an earthy, musky base, and limonene may contribute a hint of sweet brightness.
Garlic Icing is commonly described as relaxed, sleepy and euphoric. People often choose it late in the evening or at night, when they want a heavy wind down. THC usually ranges from 22% to 28%, with little CBD, so it can be very strong.
Its potency and bold, savory flavor make Garlic Icing best for experienced consumers who enjoy funky strains. Start low, go slow, and give each dose time before deciding on more. Use WhereLeaf to find Garlic Icing at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
