A Cookies Family icon. Gary Payton crosses The Y and Snowman to deliver a balanced, potent hybrid with a bold diesel and sweet citrus aroma, and a two-phase high that opens with creative cerebral energy before settling into a smooth, long-lasting body ease. Named after the NBA legend — and it lives up to the name.
Type: Balanced Hybrid | THC: ~20–25%
Genetics: The Y × Snowman (Cookies × Powerzzzup Genetics)
Flavour: Diesel · Sweet Citrus · Earthy Spice · Creamy Nuts
Named after the NBA Hall of Famer and officially endorsed by the legend himself, Gary Payton is one of the most recognisable and respected strains to come out of the Cookies family. A collaborative masterpiece between Cookies and Powerzzzup Genetics — created by crossing The Y and Snowman, two cultivars known for their potency and unique terpene fingerprint. Launched in 2019, it gained traction rapidly in California and spread globally by 2021 — and unlike most celebrity strains that fade, Gary Payton proved its staying power through consistent lab results, flavour complexity, and balanced hybrid effects. On the court or in the jar — this one performs every single time.
Beautiful purple-green buds covered in trichomes — premium, boutique-quality flower with the kind of bag appeal that turns heads the moment the jar opens. Dense, resinous, and dripping in frost — exactly what you’d expect from elite Cookies genetics.
Cracking open the buds releases a pungent diesel note first, complemented by sweet cherries, spicy berries and a fresh citrus zest. Underneath sits an earthy base of pine, minty herbs and florals that linger in the air. On the inhale, a mix of diesel fuel, sweet citrus, and earthy spice. The exhale leaves a creamy, slightly nutty finish that lingers on the palate — smooth for a strain this potent.

A two-phase high that balances creativity with relaxation — fast-onset cerebral lift that transitions into a long-lasting sense of calm. A burst of energy and focus at first, followed by a sustained body ease — clear-headed and stony at the same time. Balanced enough for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage — equally effective for stress relief, mood elevation, and creative sessions. Gary Payton doesn’t just hit hard — it hits smart.
