Laughing Gas Strain Review (Cookies)

When someone mentions laughing gas, most people will probably think of nitrous oxide, the colorless gas used in dentistry. However, in this Laughing Gas Strain review, we’ll talk about a type of weed, specifically one from Cookies.

Laughing Gas is sold as a sativa-dominant hybrid and is often listed as a cross of Sour Diesel and Cherry Pie, though I couldn’t confirm that with a breeder. The name hints at what to expect: a happy, giggly high.

Legal note: This review is for adults 21+ where cannabis is legal. In the US, cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under federal law. A federal rule published April 28, 2026 moved only FDA-approved marijuana drug products and marijuana covered by a state medical marijuana license to Schedule III. State laws differ.

• Lineage: Often listed as Sour Diesel x Cherry Pie (unconfirmed)
• Type: Sativa-dominant
• Potency: High THC, very little CBD (levels vary by grower and batch)
• Terpene Profile: Often reported as caryophyllene, humulene, limonene and myrcene; varies by batch
• Packaging Details: Packaged on 04/10/2022, tested and reviewed on 04/29/2022 (19 days later)
• Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $50 at Weedbates ($14.29 per gram), the price at the time of purchase

Appearance: 3.5/5

The flowers were average in size, with chunky, irregular shapes.

Despite its sativa reputation, the buds were dense, more like an indica, and a deep forest green.

Curly yellow pistils added contrast, but the heavy coat of white trichomes was what stood out most.

Aroma: 3.5/5

The first whiff was a distinct gasoline scent that reminded me of Sour Diesel.

After that, tangy and fruity notes came through. The spicy, peppery undertones are the kind usually linked to caryophyllene, and the citrus brightness to limonene.

The scent was pleasant and lingered, though it wasn’t as strong as I expected.

Flavor: 4/5

The first inhale brought sweet and tangy notes, followed by hints of citrus and tropical fruit.

Subtle earthy, herbal undertones balanced the fruit, making the flavor well rounded.

Effect: 4/5

After about 15 minutes, I felt the effects start with a wave of body relaxation. My muscles loosened and a sense of calm settled in.

With its high THC content, this strain also brought a strong head high.

I felt chatty and full of ideas. Whether cannabis really improves mental clarity and focus is a different question, and for many people high-THC strains do the opposite.

What struck me most was the balance. Despite the head high, I had no anxious edge, just a mix of relaxation and mental energy. Effects vary from person to person.

Overall: 3.5/5

Wrapping up this Laughing Gas Strain review I would say that it’s decent, but probably not one I’d be dying to try again. First off, the price can be an issue since it’s more expensive than many of its competitors.

The effects were great, especially if you’re looking for relaxation. The flavor came through, although the aroma wasn’t as strong as I expected. Given its price, I was just expecting something more.

Alternatives

Before I conclude this Laughing Gas Strain review, let me give you a rundown of some alternatives you might want to consider:

• Mendo Punch Strain: Those who prefer Indica-dominant strains might want to try Mendo Punch. It usually costs less than Laughing Gas and has a stronger aroma.
• Lilac Diesel Strain: Like Laughing Gas, this strain also comes with notes of diesel, highly evident in its aroma and flavor. Nonetheless, Lilac Diesel stands out because of its euphoric effects, which still made me feel normal.
