Strain: Peanut Butter Breath
Type: Hybrid
 
Peanut Butter Breath is a legendary balanced hybrid cannabis strain (50% indica / 50% sativa) that lives up to its mouthwatering name with a rich, nutty profile and deeply relaxing effects. Originally bred by ThugPug Genetics, this cultivar crosses the sweet, cookie-inspired Do-Si-Dos (a Girl Scout Cookies × Face Off OG hybrid) with the resin-heavy, earthy Mendo Breath F2 (OG Kush Breath × Mendo Montage). The result is a modern classic celebrated for its potent punch, unique savory-sweet flavors, and couch-locking yet euphoric high — earning accolades like third place in Mixed Light at the 2018 Emerald Cup.
 
Genetics & Lineage
Peanut Butter Breath combines the dessert-like sweetness and floral spice of Do-Si-Dos with the deep, gassy earthiness and heavy resin production of Mendo Breath. This elite pairing delivers dense, trichome-drenched buds and a terpene profile that's distinctly nutty and herbal, setting it apart in the Cookies-family lineage.
 
Appearance
The buds are striking, long, grape-shaped to chunky colas in olive green to light minty green tones, often accented by subtle purple hues in cooler grows. They're threaded with vibrant red-orange pistils and coated in an ultra-thick layer of frosty white trichomes, sometimes tinged purple, giving them a sticky, sparkling, resin-soaked look that's pure bag appeal.
 
Aroma & Flavor Profile
True to its name, Peanut Butter Breath delivers one of the most distinctive profiles around. The aroma opens with a bold, nutty blast reminiscent of fresh peanut butter, layered over earthy pine, diesel fuel, and subtle herbal notes — sometimes with hints of coffee or chocolate in the background.On the palate, it tastes remarkably like creamy peanut butter with sweet vanilla, chocolate, and nutty undertones, balanced by woody, herbaceous, and lightly gassy exhales. Many describe it as savory yet dessert-like — rich, indulgent, and lingering.Dominant terpenes include caryophyllene (peppery, earthy), limonene (citrusy uplift), myrcene (herbal relaxation), and often humulene or others adding depth to that signature nutty-gas combo.
 
Effects & Potency
Peanut Butter Breath typically tests between 20-28% THC (often 22-26% in premium batches, with some phenos pushing 29%+), and very low CBD (<1%). This makes it a heavy-hitter suited for experienced users.The high starts with a gentle cerebral uplift — euphoric, happy, and mildly focused — before transitioning into profound body relaxation that melts stress and tension. It builds gradually into a sedating, couch-locking calm without full knockout (unless dosed high), often leaving users mellow, content, and snack-hungry. Perfect for evening wind-downs, movie nights, or unwinding after a long day.
