Berry Gelato Strain: Psychedelic and Sweet

In search of something to put everything into focus? Berry Gelato will fulfill your tall order with its high THC levels and comfortingly familiar sweet flavors. This strain has a lot more to offer than just riding its parents’ coattails. Pick up a basket and wander into all the reasons you should be picking up some Berry Gelato.

Berry Gelato Background

Berry Gelato was first cultivated by Emerald Family Farms, a certified breeder and distributor with years of experience under their belts and award-winning cannabis to show for it you can see why the strain isn’t the butt of anyone’s jokes. Its nickname is Blueberry Gelato leaning to its fruity flavors and hinting at its lineage. A cross between Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and Blueberry, Berry Gelato takes influences from both in their super sweet tastes and potent highs. The flower itself holds a high 21% in the THC department attracting more long-term cannabis users to its packets. Its CBD levels run an average of 0.26 to 0.48. It is rare as a balanced 50-50 ratio hybrid which makes it just as much energy-boosting as it is relaxing. This weed is often used to cozy up during lazy afternoons and long nights after an exhausting day at work.

Berry Gelato Profile

Visuals

Not to be confused with the similarly named Acai Berry Gelato, Berry Gelato has more muted colors than its loud and neon cousin. Growers talk about Berry Gelato’s pale greens that contrast those more bright hues. Its light and dark parts are complemented by equally plain amber hairs. Crystal trichomes cover it in a healthy layer and its resin is sticky to the touch. Its hardy medium plants can grow into pretty high ones and will turn into gigantic compact nugs.

Fragrance & Flavor

Much like its nickname suggests, this nug’s aroma and taste are just like a blueberry covered in bubblegum powder. Its undertones bring some balance to it with its earthiness. Bring it to your nose and it will hit you strongly with its blueberry and grape combo but its flavors will speak cheese and herb as well which only makes it more mouthwatering. It is reminiscent of a garden picnic, all your berries, and cherries placed on a plate with your cheese. The combination is cozy and delicious. Some stoners say each exhale reminds them of just having eaten a gummy bear.

Experience

What’s most known about Berry Gelato is its focused psychedelic effects as it hits you with its potent high. Your senses will be heightened, each sound amplified and images becoming clearer to the eye. You could experience hallucinations depending on the volume you smoke and your tolerance to weed. It can make you chatty, giggly, and euphoric all in one sitting but it won’t let you down on the calming end either. The end of each berry-picking is one that is sedated, tranquil, and calm. You might doze off to sleep so for those who were expecting a light afternoon pick-me-up maybe this might not be the right strain.

On the flip side, you could come out of this high with dry eyes and a dry mouth. Prepare some water or liquids ahead as you can get very thirsty. Take it in at a slower pace and in lower quantities if it is your first time trying Berry Gelato strain.

Medicinal Effects

This strain is powerfully potent making it helpful to a variety of medical conditions. Medical marijuana patients use Berry Gelato for its relaxing effects as it helps those with chronic stress and anxiety. It can be the happy sedation you go into so it can be pretty mood-lifting too. Others also use its therapeutic heady nature for epilepsy and migraines.
