Taking a hit is like lining up a clear shot from the free-throw line. Gary Payton is a strain to strum you up and get you into the zone whether you're on the court or on the bench, ready to spring into action. It's named for basketball player Gary "The Glove" Payton who became a nine-time NBA All-Star and Hall of Famer after being an All-American at Oregon State. He wore number 20, and this strain was the twentieth phenotype of a cross between The Y and Snowman.
The best offense is a good defense, and there's nothing directly offensive about this strain. Gary Payton has a rich, spicy flavor that harbors hints of sweetness beneath its herbal diesel exterior. You might get a little bit of mint and nutmeg on the exhale, but it's not a cougher.
The high from Gary Payton is fast, hard-hitting, and long-lasting. It brings on an immediate hit of euphoria and giggles that translate to increased energy. This is a great strain for combatting the Instant Gratification Monkey.
