About Pave
Pave was created by the Cookies breeding program in collaboration with Powerzzzup Genetics, crossing their flagship Gary Payton with Connected Cannabis' Zoap. The strain represents a fusion of two of the early 2020s' most sought-after genetic lines. The result is a strain with an incredibly complex terpene profile: creamy gas, floral lavender, tropical fruit, and doughy sweetness — a profile that shifts and evolves as you smoke it. The buds are dense and trichome-covered with light green and purple coloration. Pave effects are balanced and potent: a euphoric, creative head high with warm body relaxation. The strain became a staple of Cookies' high-end 'Cookies Exclusives' line.
