About Cherry Pie
Cherry Pie was created by a breeder known as 'Jigga' (who later founded the Cookies brand) by crossing Granddaddy Purple with Durban Poison. The combination of GDP's grape, berry, and body-relaxation with Durban Poison's sweet licorice and cerebral energy produced a uniquely balanced hybrid with a sweet, tart cherry-pie flavor profile. The buds are dense and resinous with light green and purple hues. Cherry Pie's effects are well-balanced: a euphoric, creative head high with gentle body relaxation. The strain's true legacy is as a parent — paired with Girl Scout Cookies it produced Wedding Cake, and with Alien Cookies it helped create MAC.

History
Cherry Pie was created by Jigga in the Bay Area around 2011, before he went on to co-found the Cookies brand. The strain became popular in its own right but its true impact came through its offspring. Cherry Pie crossed with Girl Scout Cookies produced Wedding Cake, one of the most popular strains of the 2010s. Cherry Pie crossed with Alien Cookies (via Capulator) produced MAC, another modern legend. The strain's genetics can be found in dozens of modern hybrids, making it one of the most influential unsung parent strains in cannabis.
