Meat Breath Strain Review (Gnomestar)
Contents
For this review, I finally tried some Meat Breath produced by Gnomestar that I purchased at Shelter Market. I say finally because the online cannabis community had been raving about this strain for months, and as usual, the community was right!
This Indica-dominant cultivar came with a fairly high THC level on the label, very little CBD, and a strong terpene content. Below is an in-depth breakdown.
- Type: Indica-dominant
- Potency: Fairly high THC, very low CBD (exact numbers vary by batch)
- Terpene Profile: Caryophyllene, Limonene, Farnesene, Linalool, Humulene (as labeled on this batch)
- Packaging Details: Packaged on 04/09/2021, tested/reviewed on 06/02/2021, exactly 54 days later.
- Pricing Details: Purchased 7 grams at Shelter Market (medical) for $69.99 ($10.00/gram).
A note on numbers: THC and CBD percentages and terpene profiles vary by grower and batch, so treat the details here as one sample and check the label on the product you buy. We could not confirm the lineage on an official breeder page, so we left it out.
This was a legal medical purchase in Canada, where adult-use cannabis is sold by retailers authorized by each province or territory. In the US, marijuana is still a Schedule I drug under federal law outside narrow 2026 exceptions for FDA-approved and state-licensed medical products, and state laws differ.
Appearance:

When it comes to visuals, this flower is absolutely beautiful. The buds are bright green, but you can barely tell because of the purple and navy hues on the leaves, bright orange pistils and the thick layer of trichomes.
The weed came in slightly overweight at 7.08 grams: two large nugs, 2 medium nugs and a few small ones. It came in a bag rather than the usual glass container.
The buds were dense and sticky, and the bag read 48% RH when I opened it. This weed has a unique, very photogenic look.
Aroma:

A pungent aroma jumps out of the bag when you open it, and it goes in different directions. I would describe the smell as peppery, spicy, and gassy with a touch of sweetness, and I even got some lavender notes.
The scent fills a room quickly and lingers. The fuel scent got stronger when the weed was milled.

Flavor/Smoke:

I got a kushy, skunky flavor on the inhale with heavy diesel notes on the exhale. Other Meat Breath reviews I've read describe the aroma and flavor quite differently, which fits how much batches can vary.
Smoking a joint of this was smooth, with white ash, lots of smoke, and no coughing or scratchy throat.
Effects:

As an experienced user, this lifted my mood and relaxed my whole body. I preferred it at the end of the day rather than before a productive morning.
The effects came in almost right away and lasted about 60 minutes, and I felt sleepy as they wore off. Effects vary by person, and NIDA notes that anxiety and panic are more likely with strong THC products.
Overall:
Gnomestar did an excellent job with this cultivar, and I now understand the hype. I would recommend it to experienced adult consumers; newer users should start with a small amount, since this is STRONG weed! If you’re seeking a more affordable alternative, consider giving the Chemdog Strain a try. Moreover, be sure to read my comprehensive review of the Unite Organic Strain.

Alternatives
- Unite Organic Strain: For those seeking a strain with better value, the Unite Organic Strain is worth considering. It has a different flavor and aroma profile but a smooth smoke and uplifting effects.
- GG4 (Gorilla Glue #4): If you're looking for stronger effects than Meat Breath, GG4 is a potent alternative with a diesel-like aroma and a heavy-hitting, sedating high.
- Bubba Kush: If you enjoy the relaxing effects of Meat Breath, Bubba Kush is known for an earthy flavor and a calm, sleepy high.
