Animal Mints, also written Animal Mintz, is a cornerstone of modern cannabis breeding, a Seed Junky Genetics creation that became a parent to countless famous strains. It is beloved for a cool, minty-cookie character that is genuinely its own, and it sits at the center of the Cookies-family tree that shaped a decade of genetics.

Lineage

Animal Mints is an indica-leaning hybrid most commonly described as a cross of Animal Cookies and SinMint Cookies, placing it firmly in the celebrated Cookies family. Its exact genetics are debated, which only adds to its legend.

Aroma and flavor

Sweet cookie dough and cool mint over a diesel-gas undertone, with vanilla and a faint pine edge. It is complex and unmistakable, a profile that shifts from sweet to savory to cool as you take it in.

What we measured in Animal Mints

An ISO 17025-accredited laboratory measured the profile we use for Wild Things: 123 identified compounds. The eight largest are below as a share of total terpenes, with the milligrams each one contributes to a 20mg chew. The full list of all 123, down to the trace ones, is on the product page.

Animal Mints carries the highest linalool in our lineup at 9.2%, which is the cool floral edge that reads as mint. Caryophyllene at 14% is the pepper, the selinadienes at 22% combined are the cookie-dough depth, and myrcene is just 2.3%, which is why this strain reads cool and sweet rather than earthy. With 123 identified compounds it is the most complex profile we make.

The vibe

Animal Mints is a Balanced strain in the MONDAYS vibe system, a rounded, complex pick. The bag says BALANCE, RELIEF, EUPHORIA. That describes its character and aroma, not an effect.
