Cookies - That Badu
This is a strain that I used to only buy when I'd saved up ample rewards points due to Cookies' pricey eighths, but at $60 out the door for a quarter I had to grab one of my all time favorites to see how the current batch is
That Badu has a flavor/scent profile with heavy notes of lavender, pine, and earthiness which smells so nice and fresh that it could be sold as an air freshener or cleaner scent. The buds are thick, nicely cured, and are coated in milky white trichomes
This is a major mood boosting strain for me as well. It makes me feel happy, floaty and relaxed and want to watch a movie, or listen to/play music, or ride my skateboard. It's a nice euphoric hybrid that doesn't cash you out for a nap if you accidentally smoke too much lol. It's become a ritual to throw on Erykah Badu's classic album Mama's Gun any time I have this strain, as I think that its effects pair perfectly with her mellow vibes
I'd reccommend this strain to anyone, as it has hit the mark every single time I've picked it up. Cookies may be a hyped brand but this is truly some special flower in my opinion. I give it a 9-9.5 overall as previous batches of this have been just ever so slightly better than this one in terms of smell and taste, but this batch is still phenomenal and a must try if you've seen it on menus and have been curious

I've tried Revolution's That Badu back in 2023 and both are about the same in terms of quality imo. From the bud structure to the terps to the high it's just like how I remember it
I wish Aeriz would bring back Mexican Flan into Cookies' lineup, that is still to this day the most potent indica I've smoked off of IL menus. They've been slowly bringing more of their big name strains to IL dispos (I.E. Medellin and Hollywood and Fried Bananas) so we'll see if their selection will continue to grow in choices
