The typical maximum potency of Pineapple Cookies is 17 percent, a fact which helps this strain appeal to a full range of users. The strain has very minimal CBD content. Those with experience smoking this strain suggest that beginners wait to try it until they have everything done for the day, while those with more cannabis experience can enjoy the strain anytime.
