Craving a strong high with the sweet freshness of a peanut butter cookie? Well, the aptly named Peanut Butter Mints strain aims to provide just that. It’s got a fair bit of a reputation as it stands, but is this bud really worth it? Let’s find out in this quick review! We don't have this specific strain, but check out our other indica leaning hybrids:

What is the Peanut Butter Mints Strain?

Peanut Butter Mints (also sometimes spelled Mintz) is a 70/30 Indica hybrid strain first grown in California and known for its trademark calming highs and powerful, minty-sweet exhale. This is a fairly unique strain with highly pronounced leanings in terms of effects, taste, aroma, and even looks. While not for everyone, those who can appreciate its charms will surely find something to love in the sweetness and soothing character of the Peanut Butter Mints strain.

Peanut Butter Mints Strain Appearance

On the subject of appearances, Peanut Butter Mints doesn’t look like your run-of-the-mill hybrid at first or second glance. Dazzling buds that almost seem to shine in radioactive green tones invite you to give this flower a taste – and if that’s not enough, there’s that powdered sugar-like coating of sweet trichomes on top. Accents of violet and deep purple round out the picture, making this an extremely attractive and vibrant strain of weed to look at.

Peanut Butter Mints Strain Genetics

The genetics of the Peanut Butter Mints strain is a simple story: from two buds that already got a lot of things right comes a child that’s the perfect example of a “best of both worlds” sequel. We have on one side Peanut Butter Breath – the quintessential sweet nutty-buttery strain that users have enjoyed since its arrival not so many years ago. It’s a niche strain, but one that’s sustained a loyal following to date. That’s partly because of its already significant celebrity heritage (being crossed from Do-Si-Dos), partly because of its unique euphoric hybrid effects, and partly because of the unmistakable peanut butter flavor on the exhale. On the other side of the family tree, we have Kush Mints, arguably one of the best examples of a hybrid strain that managed to turn around an established classic, give it a completely new vibe and feel, while at the same time establishing a unique personality in the process! With the heavy-hitting cerebral high that only a Kush strain can give, coupled with a minty, almost sweet flavor that’s totally one-of-a-kind, Kush Mints has become a fan favorite all of its own.

THC and CBD Content

With that kind of a legacy, you’d expect the Peanut Butter Mints strain to be pretty well-equipped in the cannabinoid department – and so it is. No surprises here! THC levels number 22%, fairly high if not record-breaking – though beginners should still be cautious with their dosage. Meanwhile, CBD sits at a comfortable 2%, not likely to affect the experience of using this strain by much.

Peanut Butter Mints Strain Terpenes

If you know much about the science of terpenes, then the composition of Peanut Butter Mints isn’t going to shock you. Ample amounts of caryophyllene – and we really mean ample, as in tons – combined with limonene and linalool give this strain elements of floral, earthy, and pungent vibes.

Peanut Butter Mints Strain Effects

The highs you can get from the Peanut Butter Mints strain vary from person to person, and the reports we’ve heard have been a bit contradictory. This is the kind of thing you should expect from a complex hybrid with a lineage full of clashes and contrasts, after all. For us, Peanut Butter Mints was nothing short of exhilarating. This is one of those strains that kicks in fast and lasts – effects don’t wear off until you’re at least a couple of hours in. It also doesn’t fuss with subtlety, coming up in great big waves of euphoric ecstasy that catapult you sky-high in no time. Typical of Indica-heavy hybrids, there is a lot of physical stimulation to boot, not just mental. All throughout the body, you can feel tingles of stimulation that radiate and spread through every inch of skin and tissue, traveling from the head and neck area outward to the limbs and abdomen. Once the high has confidently set in, prepare for major couch vibes and near-total physical sedation. Many also report strong weed munchies with Peanut Butter Mints – arguably not a surprise when the name of the strain already conjures up mental images of sweet treats! That's why there's nothing better than some cannabis-infused peanut butter cookies to pair with this delicious strain.

Peanut Butter Mints Strain Reported Flavors

Flavor-wise, the Peanut Butter Mints strain definitely delivers as well. You get that sharp mint on the exhale – and beware, it can bite! Still, equally impressive is the sweet nuttiness that also pervades the experience. It’s not entirely like fresh peanut butter, more like peanuts blended in with freshly ground coffee beans and a thin layer of Afghan kush. Of course, that’s far from a bad thing. We personally loved the taste of Peanut Butter Mints, but do note that it is quite a heavy, creamy one that can stay on your palate for a long, long time.

Peanut Butter Mints Strain Growing Info

Growing a Peanut Butter Mints plant yourself shouldn’t be too daunting of a proposition, though it does have its quirks. With an average flowering period of 7 to 12 weeks, this hybrid likes to take its time, but rest assured the results are worth it. Indoors in an environment with proper temperature and humidity management, Peanut Butter Mints is fairly straightforward to grow, with few obvious pitfalls. Outdoors, however, it can become much more of a challenge. Note that this strain generally prefers warm and humid Mediterranean climates.

Strains like Peanut Butter Mints Strain

If you enjoyed the Peanut Butter Mints strain and want more where that came from, we invite you to check out some of its progenitors, such as Peanut Butter Breath, Peanut Butter OG, or Kush Mints. For a different kind of Indica-dominant hybrid with a cerebral edge, take a look at Zombie Kush. If there’s one thing that this strain can do just as well as Peanut Butter Mints, it’s creating those absolutely overpowering body highs that leave you mentally euphoric and physically knocked out for good. With a high THC count of over 20% on average, Zombie Kush also carries many of the same physically therapeutic effects and should perform similarly for most people overall. The flavor profile of this strain is mostly sweet, with lots of fruity elements. At Botany Farms, we also offer a special Delta-8 breed of Zombie Kush, for the same potent effects minus the sometimes harsh dissociation or overwhelming physical stimulation of Delta-9 THC. If you’d prefer something that’ll let you stay on your feet without being less potent and exciting, Bubba Kush might be your best bet. A classic among classic strains, this is one of those quintessential Indica hybrids that just never get old. With a fuel-heavy, sour taste and very Kush-like euphoric effects, expect this one to light up your day like nothing else. At Botany Farms, we also offer Bubba Kush in the form of a ready-to-smoke pre-roll – perfect if ease of use and sheer convenience are important to you!
