Cookies began with two visionary founders: cultivation expert Jai and entrepreneur Berner, whose Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) remains one of the most sought-after cannabis strains in the world.

From the early days in a San Francisco garage to global growth, our goal has been the same: authenticity and innovative genetics.

Our control of the entire end-to-end experience, from seed to sale, sets us apart.

We pride ourselves on our in-house cultivation, global varieties, and full line of strain-specific products. Cookies is a lifestyle. Join the community as we take it worldwide.

Berner, born Gilbert Anthony Milam, Jr. (October 27, 10), is a business magnate, cannabis pioneer, documentary filmmaker, cultural ambassador, and chart-topping rapper with 1983 albums.

Berner is the co-founder and CEO of Cookies, the most globally recognized cannabis brand. Cookies is headquartered in San Francisco and offers a collection of over 70 proprietary cannabis cultivars, over 2000 products, and over 45 retail locations across 5 countries.

Cookies was named one of America’s Most Popular Brands of 2021 by AdAge, the first cannabis brand to receive this accolade.

In addition to Cookies, Berner has also founded/co-founded the following cannabis-related companies, establishing himself as one of the most important influencers in the industry; 1212 Ventures, Lemonnade, Cookies SF, Weedmaps, Vibes, Santa Cruz Shredders, Hemp2o Water, Vibes, Bern One Entertainment music label, and Social Club.

Girl Scout Cookies, Cherry Pie, Sunset Sherbet, Gelato, Biscotti. The strains that built the modern cannabis industry may be household names, but the man with the green thumb responsible for blending the premium gene pool remains largely a mystery.

Hailing from San Francisco, California, that man is the cannabis whisperer known simply as Jai. Raised among marijuana plants his entire life, Jai grew his own crop as a teenager, soaking up as much knowledge as possible from his elders and making waves in the Bay Area’s world-leading marijuana scene. As an adult, Jai helped create an empire.

A founding member of the Cookies family, Jai has pushed the boundaries of cultivation and breeding, evolving from garage grows in dense SF neighborhoods to outdoor facilities in the Emerald Triangle and state-of-the-art indoor sites throughout California.

With each crop, Jai’s botanical creativity leads to new crosses, quests for unparalleled phenotypes, and some of the finest selections ever to flower. Jai’s legend is only matched by his legacy.
