Black Cherry Gelato Strain Review
Black Cherry Gelato is a fairly new strain in comparison to mainstays such as OG Kush or Blueberry. If you’re looking for potency, that’s a good thing! Research shows what you’ve likely already noticed—that cannabis strains have increased in potency over the years. The end result of this increased potency means more powerful possible effects, in addition to the potential for more therapeutically-targeted benefits.
Effects and Properties
To understand Black Cherry Gelato, you have to start with its THC content. While THC concentration isn’t everything, it definitely plays a part in determining a strain’s effects. Black Cherry Gelato has THC for days.
Clocking in around 26 percent, Black Cherry Gelato may exhibit potent relaxing properties. It has a reputation for possessing an extraordinary body high, although most people find that it stops just short of being overwhelming. It also may help promote calm and reduce stress. These same effects make Black Cherry Gelato a good end-of-day strain. It can make you a little sleepy, so don’t smoke it if you still have responsibilities ahead of you that day.
Black Cherry Gelato may also be able to help medical cannabis patients alleviate certain conditions. Notably, patients use it to help with chronic pain and insomnia. Its relaxing, down-to-earth vibes also could make it ideal for banishing stress and anxiety.
Black Cherry Gelato gets its possible effects from one place: its genetic line. Let’s dig into this strain’s epic genetics.
Black Cherry Gelato Hybrid Strain Genetics
Black Cherry Gelato is what you get from crossing Acai with Black Cherry Funk. That makes it a slightly indica-dominant (about 60/40) hybrid strain. Indicas generally have a reputation for being relaxing and soothing, and Black Cherry Gelato is no different. This strain’s genetic profile also influences its terpene content. That’s what we’ll get into next.
A Terpene Profile Rich in Myrcene
If you’re familiar with cannabis, chances are you’ve heard of terpenes before. These organic compounds carry flavor and taste, and may even have some beneficial effects.
Specifically, Black Cherry Gelato’s terpene profile is dominated by myrcene. Also found in mangos, myrcene has a sweet, pungent, funky scent. It’s more than a little skunky, with some notes of berries (specifically cherries) added in. A vaguely herbal essence rounds out this strain’s aroma and flavor.
Some research shows that myrcene may have some specific effects on the human body. Notably, it can reduce swelling and thwart sensations of pain, in addition to possibly holding stress-relieving properties.
