Serve yourself some Georgia Pie—August’s Leafly HighLight strain (2024)

This summer, connoisseur smokers start a forest fire of the stone fruit dessert strain Georgia Pie all across the US. Why? Because it’s Gelatti x Kush Mints, with a peach, apricot, and tree fruit note; and it’s bred by the best—Seed Junky Genetics—with a chill, hybrid, summer party vibe.

Georgia Pie appears on nearly 2,000 menus listed on Leafly—up nearly 100% from a year ago. Now a top-200 strain in availability, Georgia Pie is officially our Leafly HighLight for August.

Dispensaries serve Georgia Pie as top-shelf flower for $50 an eighth, as well as 6-star ice water hash worth more per gram than gold.

The Cookies brand helped build the flavor into a nationwide wave, now fast-becoming a staple. For example, smokers in Detroit have 129 Georgia Pie products on menus—from pre-rolls, to jars, to vapes, to dabs.

Breeders remix Georgia Pie into the newest of the new-new, like Georgia Pie x Z, and Cereal A La Mode. Georgia Pie went into Khalifa Kush and Cookies’ new Babby Powder.

Georgia Pie sports a review score of 4.6 out of 5, with 134 written reviews and nearly 5,000 likes. One Leafly reviewer could only write: “Damn son.”

Testing into the mid-20s of THC percentage, the potent, hybrid cultivar elicits a mood lift, good vibes, and a mission to the refrigerator.

Reviewers report using it for anxiety, stress, and pain.

“Nice chill body high that helped me with chronic pain which is amazing, but the thing that made this the one for me is the feeling of relaxed joy that it gave me.”

How much does Georgia Pie cost?

You can get Georgia Pie cheap, or pricey—the quality varies. The cultivar matures into a commodity crop on one end, and top-shelf zaza on the other.

The top in California includes Rosin Tech Labs’ Georgia Pie one-gram disposable vapes for $70, or $94 grams of ice water hash. That’s worth more than gold. On the low end, Washington has an ounce of Georgia Pie flower for $40.

Georgia Pie awards

Georgia Pie has an award-winning pedigree in the parents, Gelatti and Kush Mints. Georgia Pie itself has stepped into some very competitive rings and came home with trophies. A GP took second in hybrid flower in Oklahoma’s Medical Cup, grown by Tradecraft Farms. And Georgia Pie also took a third in sungrown flower in 2022’s The Emerald Cup, grown by Farmer and the Felon x Cookie Fam.

Georgia Pie terpenes

Georgia Pie’s peach, apricot, and tree fruit smells come out of the unique combination of aroma molecules called terpenes. Caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene stand out in Georgia Pie, according to averages of lab tests. The caryophyllene functions as the gassy backbeat, while the zesty limonene and exotic pinene play a duet with the lesser terpenes. You can shop by terp on the Strains section of the Leafly site.
