Grease Monkey is considered an indica-dominant hybrid strain originally grown by Exotic Genetix. Generally, it’s considered to contain around 70% indica and 30% sativa. Exotic Genetix created the strain by combining two favored strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Cookies & Cream.

Noted for its intense and complex flavor, Grease Monkey’s flavor contains notes of fresh vanilla and gasoline that can melt into a deep sweetness. Smoking makes for a smooth experience, with little harshness at the back of the throat. So, most people shouldn’t experience coughing fits when inhaling or exhaling. When exhaling, you may notice a slight peppery or spicy taste. Far from unpleasurable, this helps to create balance with the sweet notes during inhalation.

Grease Monkey contains a mix of the effects of its parents. From the Gorilla Glue, it can invite couch-lock and sedation. However, most people feel it more as a creeping relaxation that eventually transforms into a hazy calm. It’s the perfect after-work strain, and while it doesn’t prevent you from carrying out tasks, it’s a better fit for those looking to come down after a stressful day.
