Gelato

As its name suggests, Gelato (ice cream in Italian) is a treat for all cannabis consumers. This indica-dominant hybrid, hailing from the sunny state of California, offers a blend of creativity and mood enhancement while simultaneously providing bodily relaxation that prompts memories of a lovely day at the beach. The crossing of Sunset Sherbet with Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies gave rise to this 21% THC powerhouse.

Onset

Thanks to its high THC content, Gelato packs a powerful punch, so users should approach this strain carefully. Even seasoned cannabis smokers will feel the effects of the flower after taking a few puffs. However, if used responsibly, Gelato can provide an unrivalled experience. By combining sativa and indica effects, the strain gives the best of both worlds. Its sativa properties provide a mentally stimulating and creative high while you are also enjoying the pain-relieving and relaxing benefits of indica. Despite its soothing properties, the strain won’t induce couch lock, which means you’ll still be able to engage in many active and creative pursuits.

Many users describe it as a “feel-good medicine” that leaves them feeling happy and grateful for the world around them, with some experiencing amplified senses and even psychedelic effects.

For similarly spectacular taste sensations, you can try out Girl Scout Cookies or Blueberry strains.

Uses

Gelato has versatile abilities that can help individuals with many conditions. Thanks to its body-relaxing properties, it is recommended for people with chronic pain, migraines, muscle spasms and menstrual cramps, to name a few. It can help people with insomnia fall asleep quickly if smoked late at night. The mood-altering properties of the plant can assist in combating feelings of depression and anxiety.

Please note, however, that flowers with a high-THC content can contribute to sensations of paranoia and stress, especially in individuals affected by mental health conditions. Use Gelato responsibly and in moderation.

Side effects

The most common side effects of smoking this bud are the sensations of dry mouth and dry eyes. However, care must be taken when consuming Gelato as it is a potent strain. In some cases, it has been reported to induce paranoia in sensitive individuals. Therefore, newbies should consume it cautiously and start with a few drags at most.

Gelato may make you feel sleepy if smoked early in the morning due to its indica properties.
