The Sweet and Earthy Essence of Gelati Weed Strain
HYBRID INDICA - 34%+
Originating from a rich lineage, Gelati is a cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. This genetic blend results in an Indica-dominant hybrid with a split of 55% Indica and 45% Sativa. The strain is known for its enticing flavors which are a mixture of lavender, earth, and berry, and it leaves a tangy finish on the palate. This strain is a creation from the reputed breeders at Sherbinskis in San Francisco. It's often referred to as the Larry Bird Strain in some local dispensaries​.
 
The THC content of Gelati is notably high, ranging between 20% to 25%, with CBD levels being less than 2%. The THC to CBD ratio can go as high as 100:1 if the CBD content is 0.2% or less, making this strain significantly potent.
 
Flavor Profile and Aroma
Gelati is a treat for the senses with its complex flavor profile and aroma. The taste is dominated by notes of berry, citrus, lavender, and woody flavors. The aroma, on the other hand, is reminiscent of blueberry, earthy, orange, and sweet scents, making you feel as if the whole world is a dessert. This strain is named after the scent of “Gelato” or Italian cream-based ice cream, exuding an aroma of berries and earthy sandalwood​.
 
Therapeutic Potential
For those looking for a therapeutic touch, Gelati might be a perfect choice. It's particularly useful in easing chronic pain and muscle spasms without making you feel detached from reality. The Sativa effects in the strain keep you calm but clear-headed, allowing for relief from aches while not interfering with other activities. It's also beneficial for conditions like chronic stress, appetite loss, and fatigue.
 
The Gelati Experience

However, dry eyes and dry mouth are reported as negative side effects, so having some eye drops and drinks ready might be helpful​.
