Nothing says summer like an ice cream sundae, and all I was after when searching for the strain of the month was summer vibes, so of course I jumped with enthusiastic childhood glee when I saw the strain—Ice Cream Sundae. This hybrid mesmerized and entranced me as I took a whiff of it over the counter at Tokyo Starfish dispensary in Bend, Oregon. She had a subtle, fruity aroma that just enhanced my craving for a fruity popsicle, which is an essential part of my smoke sesh snacking, so I knew she would be perfect.
As a bedtime smoker, Ice Cream Sundae was an excellent choice of strain. She is a hybrid that helps ease you into relaxation mode. I enjoyed my bowl of Ice Cream Sundae in bed and followed it up with my favorite cherry limeade popsicles. The timing between my eating the popsicles and the high of the marijuana aligned serendipitously. As I finished my first popsicle, the high was starting to set in. It wasn’t an overwhelming or abrupt high, but rather a gentle, mellow slide as if I were taking a loop in a lazy river. The mellowness of Ice Cream Sundae is perfect for those new to marijuana or for those who want something a little more low-key.
At about 18% THC, Ice Cream Sundae is on the gentler side of marijuana strains, which is perfect if you are looking for a summer strain. Known for making folks relaxed, happy, and sleepy, this is an excellent strain for this time of year when the goal is good vibes, good times, and good weather. The gentleness of Ice Cream Sundae also makes it a great choice if you’re looking for something that won’t hinder your productivity this summer.
For peak summer vibes, I would highly recommend enjoying Ice Cream Sundae with an ice cream sundae with all the fixings. I’m talking cookie pieces, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and caramel syrup. The happy feeling that Ice Cream Sundae creates will only be further enhanced with a nice, cold bowl of ice cream sundae in hand. The lightness of the strain also makes it an excellent choice for group smoke sessions. You can invite some friends over for a bowl & bowl (y’a know, because you’ll smoke a bowl of Ice Cream Sundae while eating an ice cream sundae in a bowl)!
Whether your summer plans include floating down the river, reading a good book in the grass, or binge-watching your favorite TV show, consider adding some Ice Cream Sundae!
