A great modern breed, combining the genetics of Afghani and Kush, they have created a pretty tasty and relaxing experience. The buds smell of sweet flowery roses with a berry sweetness to it. The taste definitely carries over from the aroma, it is a tasty experience, but the flavour lacks the depth that more classic strains have (like Kosher Kush or Purple Kush). It is nonetheless very tasty. The effects are what you would expect from such a lineage, sedative, perfect for unwinding after a long day, perfect for video games or watching a TV show/film. Great for stress and ADHD, very good for pain and inflammation of the gastrointestinal system.
Aroma: 10
Taste: 9 (some more earthiness to it would make the flavour much more fulfilling in my humble opinion)
Effects: 9 (could be a little more sedative)
Medical: 9 (there are better strains for pain, but this one is very good for pain if nothing better is available)
Overall: 9.5 (more depth in flavour and slightly more sedative, and it would be perfect)
This strain is an OG Kush breed, both in terms of genetics and its status as a classic strain. The strain is incredibly pleasant in every way, the sweet earthy smell is the first sign of this strain, with a slight woody tone to the overall aroma, which comes from the woody earthy aroma of OG Kush. The taste is unique, taking the earthy berry sweetness to a delightful level, with the woody tone coming through more. The effects are very sedating, with a giggly and stoned onset, moving into a more body focused euphoria and sedation with a tingly touch to it. This strain is perfect for a chilled night at home playing video games, watching something, or going on a super chill walk in the woods or plains. It will help with all pain, it will help with inflammation in the gastrointestinal system, it will help with a fidgety brain (ADHD), it will destress you and help you unwind for bed. This is a very typical classic Kush strain.

This strain is basically OG Kush, both the strains are crosses of predominantly OG Kush strains, with those strains being backcrossed or crossed with or basically just OG Kush. This entire genetic lineage leads to Hindu Kush (literally an OG cannabis strain, grown in the Hindu Kush mountains), Lemon Thai (cross between a Thai strain and a Hawaiian strain) and Chemdog (unknown genetics). You can expect to be sedated, not very sedated (like Purple Kush), but pretty much like OG Kush. You also feel euphoric like the Chemdog makes you feel, with some tingly sensations, and you may even have lots of thoughts and feel very talkative or like writing, which is probably the energising effect of the Lemon Thai mixed with the euphoric effect of the Chemdog. The taste and aroma is sweet, like honey and vanilla, with some buttery tones. It will medicate most things, it medicates moderate-severe neuropathic/joint/muscle/tendon/gastrointestinal pain, including gastrointestinal issues overall. It also helps de-stress in the evening/night, and keeps a busy ADHD mind from going too far.
Effect: 9, almost perfect for me, loses one as I have a preference for more sedative strains that target pain even more, and leave you in a better and less stressed mindset for sleep, which the biscotti does very well, but not as well as something like Purple Kush, pure Hindu Kush or Sensi Star. It is still a very good set of effects that can be perfect for meeting with a friend, activities like walking in a natural area, watching TV/film/online content, playing a video game, all are perfect activities with this strain.
Medical: 10, while not 100% what I prefer for pain control and de-stressing, it is still very applicable and holds up well for aiding physical and mental issues. It is particularly good at keeping stress levels low and effective as a pain-reliever, and at keeping your mind from wandering too much, though much of that can be situational.
Aroma: 10, sweet and vanilla, with something thick and buttery to it. It's a really nice smelling strain that makes one almost hungry for it.
Taste: 10, a pleasant smoke or pleasant decarbed and put in a cocoa butter and powder drink while heating it, it is pleasant.
Overall: 9.5, great strain, holds itself well in many situations and for many uses. Mainly good for relaxing and just enjoying simple activities. Appeasing aroma and taste. Just a slight preference on my part for other more sedative strains.
Smell: Berry sweet with earthy and piney tones
Taste: berry sweet some earthy piney notes
Effects: A talkative and giggly strain, great with a friend, has a relaxing and focusing side, but easily distracted on it.
Potency: extremely poten
Best time for use: when walking with a friend, watching something, playing a game
Medical use: If you are low, experiencing fatigue (can tell this would be good for some patients with ME), and will keep you fairly pain-free, unless you overdo it.
Had some medical flower with a friend, very rose flowery smell with a sweet earth tone, taste carries over.
Very relaxing and sedating strain, is ideal for evening/night, be prepared to want to snack on something sweet as well. Great for pain, Crohn's, Tourette's, stress, great medical value to it.
A superpowered version of original Z with what seems to be a slight sour diesel effect, it is great for hanging out with your friends and going on a hike. It smells like sweet grape diesel, and obviously, the taste carries through, if ever there was a diesel-berry, it might taste a little like this. If you like diesel sweet strains, this is going to be your favourite tasting strain. The effects are varied, smaller amounts will uplift you and make you feel happy, euphoric, uplifted and raring to go, while feeling relaxed in yourself. A bit more will make you a little more relaxed, yet still feeling able to be active and sociable. It is a great strain for a hike with friends, and can help you if you feel fatigued, depressed, need some mild analgesic, and a stress-reliever.
Second review, this strain has two sides, one that is more uplifting and makes you paranoid, and one that is relaxing and blissful if you can let go of the paranoia and give yourself space to be. It can be a very tasty and blissful experience if you let it.
Bacio Gelato is a very effective indica, smelling like sweet vanilla tropical fruits and tasting like vanilla berries with sweet mint, it is one of the best tasting strains. The effects are very relaxing, this is definitely a great strain for winding down and watching some TV, film or YouTube, a nice series, as it is relaxing yet also frees your mind to focus on what you're doing. It can also make you hungry and sleepy, and very thirsty, as we are accustomed to with this.
It is decent for pain, but great for stress-relief and ADHD, where you need to wind down and stay present with your activity, preferably for chilling before bed.
Had this classic years ago, I remember the smell and taste being of violet pine with grapes and an earthy tone, the high was extremely relaxing, it will put you to sleep late at night, but you should probably get some calories in after consuming, it does give huge munchies. You should also occupy yourself with some relaxing music and maybe watch something chill, it is a strain for being relaxed before bed, so treat this as such. It also helps with a boost of euphoria, making you feel more fulfilled as you end your day. Incredible classic, worth trying for stress relief and pain relief.
The strain that forms part of ZOAP, a legendary top-shelf strain, is in no way disappointing in comparison. The chemical sweet flowery smell is unmistakable, you instantly feel familiar if you've consumed a lot of ZOAP before, and this carries on to the taste, chemical flowery sweet tree fruit taste, pleasant toking.
The effects are euphoric and relaxing, offering a great evening joint in the woods by a body of water, alleviating pain and stress and anxiety, potent and tingly, making you slightly giggly, and overall a chilled and cheery ape. Is great for evening medical or recreational use.
