Appearance: 4.5/5

The Jealousy strain is a feast for the eyes. Dense, chunky, and coated in crystal trichomes, the buds range in color from deep forest green to hints of violet. Bright orange pistils snake through each nug, creating a gorgeous contrast that stands out in any stash.

The texture is sticky and resinous—handling it leaves your fingertips tacky, a good sign of potency and freshness. It’s a premium flower that looks like it belongs in a high-shelf jar.

Aroma: 4.5/5

Jealousy hits hard in the scent department. Upon opening the container, you’re greeted with a wave of creamy sweetness mixed with gassy funk. Limonene adds a bright citrusy note, while caryophyllene brings in a peppery spice that lingers in the nose.

There’s a dessert-like character from its Gelato heritage, but what sets Jealousy apart is the funky, almost doughy backend that makes the bouquet rich and complex.

Flavor: 4/5

On inhale, Jealousy delivers a silky, creamy mouthfeel that echoes its aroma. Sweet vanilla and cake batter notes are met with subtle herbal funk and diesel on the exhale. The limonene adds a pop of citrus that balances the richness, while the peppery kick of caryophyllene adds depth.

The flavor lingers pleasantly and makes each hit smooth and satisfying. Not overpowering, but definitely memorable.

Effects: 4.5/5

What impressed me most was the balance. The high kicks off with a light cerebral buzz that feels focused, almost motivating. After 20 to 30 minutes, the physical effects roll in—a body-calming sensation that doesn’t glue you to the couch but softens the edges.

It’s the kind of hybrid that’s great for late afternoons or evenings when you want to be chill, creative, or social without losing energy. The presence of caryophyllene and myrcene contributes to a relaxing yet uplifting vibe. 

These terpenes are known for their interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system and have been studied for their potential calming and anti-inflammatory effects.

Overall: 4.5/5

Jealousy is everything you’d expect from a top-tier hybrid. Its looks are top shelf, the aroma is rich and layered, and the effects hit that sweet spot between relaxed and uplifted. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or someone looking for a “not-too-heavy” THC experience, Jealousy hits the mark.

It’s a strain that works great solo or shared with friends—and with THC regularly hitting 28% and up, it’s one you’ll want to dose with care.
