Gelato Punch Weed Description
A cross between Purple Punch x Gelato #33, Gelato Punch offers a big punch with THC in ranges of 20 to 26%. Many Gelato Punch fans describe the taste as sherbet-like on the palate with hints of cream, earthiness, with a touch of blueberry and orange often being detected. The sweet taste is accompanied with an equally sweet aroma; sometimes hints of lavender are identified.
Gelato Punch Weed Effects
You might think that a 20+% THC Indica dominant strain might leave you couch-locked, but while this strain can a big punch with a euphoric perma-smile high, and a body relaxation. The high can be long lasting, and during most of the buzz, you may feel quite sociable with quite a bit of giddiness going along with the smiles, turning to giggles as you experience the cerebral effects.
As it wears off, you’re likely to feel very relaxed – and ready for a good sleep – so this strain is often used as an evening strain with the idea that later, a good sleep will follow.
The terpene profile of Gelato Punch includes dominant Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Myrcene, with a hint of pinene that you’ll detect when you exhale.
Limonene
When your tastebuds detect the taste of lemon when you’re smoking Gelato Punch, its due to the high amounts of Limonene present. It can also provide a flavour reminiscent of any citrus fruit including orange, but in the case of Gelato Punch, combined with the other terpenes, you generally get that noticeable lemony sherbet along with orange touch.
For medical benefits, limonene is also known for it’s ability to be an anti-anxiety compound, while helping to lift moods that need some lifting. This terpene is also being examined for possible anti-cancer properties (see Phase I and pharmacokinetic study of D-limonene in patients with advanced cancer).
Caryophyllene
Another commonly found terpene throughout the various cannabis strains, Caryophyllene is also found in black pepper, basil, and cinnamon. It provides a bit of pungency in taste, and is known to be anti-inflammatory.
Myrcene
Out of all the terpenes in cannabis, myrcene is the most abundant in general. While some terpenes are found in some strains, and not others, you’ll find that myrcene is almost ubiquitous to cannabis. Often, it is the dominant terpene at high levels with the other terpenes measuring a far distance in percentage. This terpene is also found in thyme, lemongrass, and mango – and it’s been well-researched. We know it promotes calming effects in both the mind and body, and may help to drive away negative thoughts.
Pinene AKA Alpha-Pinene (α-Pinene)
As you might expect from the name, this terpene is found heavily in pine needles, and you may very well detect a strong scent of pine from your Strawberry Cough with the strawberry aroma being a whiff of sweetness after. Pinene is also found in basil, rosemary, dill, turpentine, parsley, and dill. As well as being a major component of Strawberry Cough, this terpene is also highly available in the ancient but proven anti-inflammatory and healing Greek Mountain Tea.
Pinene is thought to be an anti-inflammatory terpene with pain relieving and anti-anxiety properties. It’s interesting to note that strains high in this terpene are less associated with anxiety and paranoia when consuming while other strains have an increased effect of causing feelings of paranoia in some users.
According to the peer-reviewed paper, Therapeutic Potential of α- and β-Pinene: A Miracle Gift of Nature published in Biomolecules science journal, v.9(11); 2019 Nov:
α-pinene is an important terpenoid with anticancer properties against human ovarian cancer cell lines, hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell lines, and N2a neuroblastoma cells.
