Gelato reviews

Not as heavy hitting as I expected like these comments had me thinking but a nice chill relaxing high that you can still focus on. Nothing about this strain is bad in my eyes and I'm a Sativa type of guy... If that tells you much.

I hate this strain. It is in everything, and does nothing. It's like smoking actual grass. I've tried it via edibles, flower, infused joints. Zero high. It didn't even get rid of my headache. I am upset I had to give it any stars.

I struggle with MS, fibromyalgia, ptsd, depression and anxiety. I feel like this classic strain is a great mood booster. I go from feeling not motivated to do anything to actually enjoying my day. As the high kicks in my stress just melts away. It allows my brain to slow down enough to sort through my anxiety and bring myself back to feeling whole. My aches, pain and fatigue also seems to melt away, I usually smoke this if I want to be productive or go for a walk.

Ive had better because 5 hits and i barely felt anything and my pain wasnt helped

I had trouble at first getting past the unpleasant taste but quickly it doesn't matter because it kicked in and my anxiety drained away and then I had a nice nap. I'll mix a little something from a preroll with it for an improved taste.

Gelato was one of the first three strains that I purchased from a recreational dispensary in southern Illinois back in spring of 2021 and it was the first of the three that I finished. Overall, I really enjoy Gelato and appreciate it's legendary reputation as a well-balanced hybrid. Even at a lower THC percentage (mine tested at 22.3%), this strain provides a very lucid, yet highly relaxing and euphoric experience, complete with pretty good (calming) body effects and modest closed eye visuals (CEV?). At higher, more sustained doses, couch-lock can be pretty severe as is uncomfortable introspection (more on this later). A more recent experience with Gelato left me with a newfound appreciation, however: I recently underwent emergency gastrointestinal surgery which resulted in some serious life-style changes (a colostomy) and significant abdominal discomfort from the invasive nature of the surgery and extensive surgical scars. The surgery was two weeks ago and since then, I did not consume any cannabis products until I was safely off of prescription pain medicine. Gelato was the first strain I turned to once I decided to resume my cannabis regimen. I loaded up my S&B Mighty and settled in for an afternoon of watching Mastodon (hard rock band) album visualizers on TV while sitting in my recliner. What a phenomenal afternoon! The Gelato kicked in about 15 minutes after I took several decent hits (Seems like I always have delayed effects as compared to other users...). I felt myself sinking into my recliner, body totally at ease, arms resting on the rests, head supported by a very comfy pillow. I became absolutely mesmerized by the music and hypnotic artwork from the visualizer(s). Music and lyrics sounded so much clearer and richer. Colors and artistic details were so much more vibrant and captivating. My mind just got lost on the music and lovely colors...lol. FOR HOURS. I continued to take moderate, sustained hits every 20-30 minutes thereafter, for about two hours which allowed me to find and maintain a very nice high that extended well into the early evening hours. I did struggle with some significant couch lock, after the first hour and had to force myself to rise from the chair eventually (to feed!) During this period, I also practiced some guided mental imagery meditation and reiki yoga tools while high on Gelato. To this end, I envisioned a bright orange and yellow light, that slowly expanded from my left hand to fill my entire body with a warm, restorative feeling of benevolence and healing. I swear it made my stomach and surgical wounds feel as if they were non-existent. In my mind, I knew that I'm going to survive this period and will everything will be o.k. in time. It was seriously the best I've felt in two weeks. Much needed peace and acceptance was found. The warming energy continued to fill me until my body couldn't contain all of the energy and it began to geyser forth from my head, radiating out to friends and loved ones in a white-hot and shimmering rainbow of gold & silver sparks. It was one of the benevolent feelings I've ever had, like I genuinely wanted to share the same restorative feeling with my wife and loved ones. It was a supremely loving feeling and just felt so good...better than any prescription pain medicine for sure. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, though, and Gelato warrants consideration for two reasons: 1. Overly introspective thought is common with this strain. I often catch myself thinking about things that I prefer not to think about: work, doctor visits, concern over inter-personal relationships, and stress of imagined future confrontations. I often find that Gelato allows otherwise insignificant and inconsequential thoughts that would usually be swept off into the periphery of my consciousness, to take center stage and dominate thought to the point of unpleasantness and paranoia. I often have to redirect thoughts back to more "positive" venues to avoid anxiety and agitation. As such, Gelato is best consumed when you can really focus on something very enjoyable or pleasurable to ensure the mind doesn't wander to darker streams of consciousness. 2. Munchies: expect them on this strain. Maybe because my digestive system is still healing and I lost so much weight recently, but about half-way through my most recent session, I was possessed by a ravenous case of the munchies. I devoured ice-cream, pretzels, more ice-cream, bananas, a mango, and then more ice-cream. I've had munchies before, on this strain, but never like this. Thank the gods that I need to gain weight, because Gelato provides a sure-fire mechanism to do so, lol. Overall, Gelato is great. The dense, tightly bound nugs impart an earthy, sweet smell on the exhale that is reminiscent of fresh cut hay. I can't describe the terpene profile as eloquently as others, but it is definitely "sweet" and lives up to its namesake. It's aroma definitely makes one want to consume this wonderful flower. Gelato is a very enjoyable strain, indeed, and the only reason I can't give it 5 stars is due simply to the overly-introspective thoughts that it seems to produce.

If you could take your favorite Birthday, Christmas and Thanksgiving and make them happen all at once, this would be it! I am unbelievably happy right now. Definitely feel the “floaty floats” but man, everything is just amazing good. 100% at peace. Little hungry and will probably regret everything I’m about to consume in the morning. But hey, life’s short. Ya gotta enjoy the little things. Hope y’all give this a try. Have a good’n!

I smoked this then I started thinking I was a bot 😭😂😂best strain around 2023 still seein heavy gelato
