Mochi

Imagine a strain that intertwines the vibrant energy of a midday sun with the soothing serenity of a moonlit night – and you will arrive at Mochi. This delicious 50/50 hybrid, also known as Gelato #47, is admired for its succulent aroma and flavours, as well as a potent high despite a widely varying THC content between 15 and 29%, coming from a cross of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint.

Onset

Just like the beloved Japanese dessert, Mochi evokes the same sense of joy and delight. Its effects don’t rush; instead, they start with a delicate tingle at the back of your mind that slowly develops into a potent euphoria.

Everything will suddenly seem much more fascinating. You will be in awe of the world around you, enveloped in bliss. This heavy cerebral rush sparks heightened brain activity, causing novel ideas to race through the mind at lightning speed. However, it is best to act quickly to make the most of this cognitive engagement. The initial euphoria will eventually transition into a deep physical relaxation, leaving you in a state of complete and total calm. Your body may sink deep into the couch, letting you enjoy a chill movie or your favourite game.

Eventually, if you smoke enough, you will feel ready to sleep. As such, the best time to indulge in Mochi is the late afternoon or early evening, when you can kick back and fully enjoy its effects.

Uses

Thanks to a combination of calming myrcene and uplifting limonene, Mochi can be an excellent ally for those dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression. The strain can also help with insomnia if smoked in the evening, easing the transition to a night of deep slumber. Due to a high THC and anti-inflammatory pinene content, it may also temporarily reduce various kinds of pain – from migraines and muscle spasms to even chronic pain.

Side effects

Some phenotypes of Mochi are very potent, which comes with a risk of inducing some anxiety, mild hallucinations, paranoia and dizziness. Apart from these, you can expect the common side effects of weed consumption, such as eye and mouth dehydration. To ensure a smooth experience, start low and slow – beginning with a single puff and gradually increasing the dosage as necessary.
