About Grease Monkey
Grease Monkey was created by Exotic Genetix, crossing the legendary GG#4 (Gorilla Glue #4) with Cookies and Cream. The name reflects the strain's extreme resin production — buds become so sticky and coated in trichomes that they feel greasy to the touch. The aroma is a pungent blend of diesel fuel, sour gas, creamy cookies, and earthy pine. The flavor matches the nose with heavy notes of gas, cream, and skunk. Effects are powerful and long-lasting: an initial euphoric rush gives way to deep physical relaxation and appetite stimulation. Grease Monkey became a staple in legal markets for its consistent potency and heavy bag appeal.
