About Gelonade
Gelonade is a sativa bred by Connected Cannabis Co. from Lemon Tree and Gelato #41. It became a California favorite for its sweet lemonade flavor and has since spread to dispensaries in many other legal US markets.
The aroma is tart and sugary, like fresh lemonade with a creamy Gelato sweetness on the finish. Buds are usually dense and light green, with purple accents, orange hairs and a sparkling coat of trichomes. Limonene drives the bright lemon character, caryophyllene adds a peppery edge, and myrcene contributes a soft, fruity depth.
People often describe Gelonade as energetic, uplifted and happy. It is commonly chosen for daytime activities, social plans and creative sessions. THC usually ranges from 18% to 25%, with little CBD. Because the effects can feel racy, some people report feeling anxious after larger servings.
Gelonade suits sativa lovers who want a bright, flavorful experience and have some tolerance for stronger flower. If stimulating strains tend to overwhelm you, keep servings small. Start low, go slow, and pace yourself. Use WhereLeaf to find Gelonade at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
