Gelato reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Gelato.
Definitely one of my favorite strains - great balance of cerebral / physical effects. I’ve tried flower and a cartridge. Prefer vaping the flower (aromalag), as the flavor profile is more intense. It takes a bit to kick in (especially in cart form), but you’re treated to several hours of happiness and euphoria. Smiles / giggles abound with a moderate sense of time distortion. The strain enhances sensory perceptions- sound, taste, feel. Following the buzz - deep sense of relaxation and sleep comes easy. You can be productive with the strain - repaired some holes in walls, sanding and painting (tasks was more enjoyable and maintained a strong focus / touch). Some side effects include dry mouth, munchies!, and a minor headache in the am.
Gelato is so chill but still so functional. This is why I like to smoke this strain when I'm about to go out in public because I will be relaxed but still have my wits so that I don't get distracted or paranoid. Definitely a good strain to try when you're not trying to be too down or too up.
The high comes in very fast and is a little racy at first. After about 15 minutes this racyness morphs into a very relaxing, calming and slightly spacey stone that sticks with you for a solid hour, before tiredness gets you.
Very strong, I got some Gelato shatter from my local dispensary near LA. I took a really fat dab of it a while ago, and I’m really high. This is probably a strain to smoke with people as it makes me very talkative and have a lot of thoughts. It feels like everything is going fast. Not my type of strain personally but I see why heavy smokers seeking a strong strain would smoke it.
Method of consumption - Flower, Smoking.
—————
Smell — I will divvy this category up into three pieces. Full flower, grounded up flower, and smoke.
Full — Very strong. (8.5 out of 10.)
I had to keep it hidden in a vacuum container. Floral, woodsy, and earthy.
Ground — The sugary floral and citrus sweetness gave my olfactory sense a whiplash. It's overpowering but, in an amazing sense.
Smoke — Pungent* but still fruity diabetic-like sweet.
*Note: Seal your closet (with your work clothes in there) with a towel blocking the bottom of the door if you are going to work next day. The smell got everywhere in my bedroom and even on my clothes when it is tucked away in the dresser. Febreze or any other anti-odor sprays didn't work.
—————
Taste — I wish I could say that it tasted like gelato, haha. It tasted like a cup of sweet lavender cannabis tea with thinly sliced rinds of mandarin oranges and few sugar cubes.
—————
Effect — Very uplifting and relaxing at the same time. It's an all-rounder. You can use this to keep yourself busy but you also can use it to help you get tucked in for bedtime. It's ranked .5 below my favorite, Blue Dream; It could compete against my favorite strain of all times.
It did amazing for my depression! I suffer from Anhedonia and I haven't been able to enjoy anything for several months. Within 25 minutes after a couple big hits, I tuned into Brooklyn Rumble on Netflix and noticed that I was able to enjoy the good oldie.
However, I wouldn't recommend this strain for people who suffer frequent flashbacks of PTSD. It magnified my night terrors in my sleep and put my PTSD flashbacks on a repeat cycle until I got woken up by someone else.
—————
Negatives — Dry mouth and dry eyes as usual. It may make high anxiety and/ or heavy PTSD sufferers to feel their doom a bit more (more anxious).
—————
Munchies —
A solid 6.5 out of 10 on an empty stomach. It's medium-high in the scale but it can be lowered significantly if you smoked before having your meal instead of after.
—————
Extra — Not for beginners without supervision.
Great for depression and physical pains.
—————
My medical conditions are anxiety, Crohn’s disease, depression, insomnia, migraines, PTSD, and spinal injury (disc herniation).

Awesome strain. Helps me great with my bipolar disorder. The way this great tasting smoke hits you, may feels a bit too strong at the beginning, but it gets better already after 10-15min.
After this time is over, its very uplifting and evolves into a happy and positive high wich is awesome against Depressions.
Overall this is MY strain. Its great tasting and awesome against my disorders.
