Where Rebel Cookies Comes From
Leafly credits Rebel Grown and lists the cross as GSC x Starfighter, released in 2015, and mentions Double OG Sour in its description. AllBud lists Double OG Sour x Starfighter instead. I cannot resolve that conflict, so Starfighter is the only parent both agree on.
Leafly also lists a second-place Personal finish at the 2019 Emerald Cup. The breeder reportedly aimed to recreate GSC’s qualities in seed form with easier growing and higher yields; I could not verify that elsewhere.

Side Effects and How to Use Rebel Cookies
Dry mouth is the most commonly reported side effect, and dry eyes are common with THC-rich cannabis in general. Some people feel dizzy, anxious or a little paranoid after a large dose, especially if they are sensitive to THC. Start with a small amount, wait a while before taking more, and keep water nearby. Anyone who is pregnant, on medication or managing a health condition should check with a doctor first.
