Gelato, also known by its nicknames “Larry Bird” and “Gelato #42,” is a well-balanced hybrid marijuana strain resulting from a cross between Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. This hybrid offers a harmonious blend of both indica and sativa effects, producing a euphoric high paired with deep relaxation. Users report that the effects of Gelato take hold quickly, leaving you with a sense of numbness to pain, a calm, relaxed body, but also a mentally stimulating and productive mindset.

With a THC content of around 21%, Gelato is a potent strain that’s ideal for medical marijuana patients seeking relief from pain, fatigue, and insomnia. Novices may want to tread lightly due to its strength, while those with a higher THC tolerance will appreciate the strain’s heavy-handed effects. The flavor profile of Gelato is sweet, offering a mix of fruity and creamy notes, with both its aroma and taste matching the smooth, indulgent experience.

Growers note that Gelato buds typically display striking dark purple hues, accented by fiery orange hairs, and are coated in a frosty layer of crystal resin. The average price per gram of Gelato is around $12. Its iconic status among cannabis enthusiasts has inspired the creation of numerous other premium Gelato strains, including Gelato #3, Gelato #33, Gelato #41, and Gelato #45.
