Where Do-Si-Dos Comes From
Do-Si-Dos comes from Archive Seed Bank in Oregon, which lists it as a cross of OGKB and a Face Off OG backcross. OGKB, short for OG Kush Breath, is generally described as a Girl Scout Cookies line with uncertain other parents. Face Off OG is a potent OG Kush selection.
Some online descriptions say Do-Si-Dos is simply Girl Scout Cookies crossed with Face Off OG, and others suggest Platinum Cookies. The Archive listing for OGKB by Face Off OG is the most direct source, so that is the version used here. The Platinum link was not found in the sources checked.
The strain took off when Cookies Fam popularized it. It has since become a regular on menus in Washington, Oregon and California, and it has since been used in many newer crosses.
Do-Si-Dos Effects: What It Feels Like
Do-Si-Dos is strong and mostly relaxing. The head effect is calm and mellow at first, then a heavy body wave settles over the shoulders and limbs. Appetite often follows.
It is typically an evening strain, ideal for unwinding, eating or sleeping. At lower doses it can feel pleasantly lazy. At higher doses it is sedating, and beginners should be cautious because many batches test in the mid to upper 20s.
Do-Si-Dos Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
The aroma is sweet and earthy, with floral and faintly minty notes and a diesel-like edge that comes from its OG side. The taste is sweet and earthy on the inhale, with a mild minty or cookie-like finish.
Limonene is most often named as the lead terpene, followed by caryophyllene and linalool. Limonene brightens the sweet, citrusy side, caryophyllene adds the spicy note, and linalool contributes floral calm. Different producers report different rankings.
- Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel
- Beta-caryophyllene: peppery and spicy, also found in black pepper and cloves
- Linalool: floral and lavender-like
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use Do-Si-Dos
Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common effects. Because Do-Si-Dos is strong, drowsiness, dizziness and a foggy head are fairly common, and some people feel anxious at higher doses. Start low and keep hydrated.
If you are new to Do-Si-Dos, start with one small inhalation or 2.5 mg in an edible and wait before taking more; see our dosing guide.
Do People Use Do-Si-Dos for Medical Reasons?
Users often mention it for sleep problems, stress and body tension, and some say it helps when appetite is low. These are anecdotal reports, and anyone with a health concern should talk to a doctor.

Growing Do-Si-Dos
- Difficulty: Moderate to difficult
- Flowering: 8–9 weeks
- Yield: Medium
- Height: Short to medium
- Environment: Indoor preferred
Do-Si-Dos stays fairly compact and flowers in about eight to nine weeks. It produces dense, sticky buds that reward careful drying and curing. The tight flowers are susceptible to bud rot, so in the wet Pacific Northwest autumn it does best indoors or in a greenhouse with strong airflow.
Home-grow rules depend on the state: adults can grow at home in states such as California (six plants per residence), Michigan (12 per residence) and Oregon (four per household), while Washington and Illinois allow home growing only for registered medical patients. Check your state in our cannabis laws by state guide before you plant anything.
