It is a parent of Jealousy, Leafly’s 2022 Strain of the Year, and it smells of lavender, pepper and dough.

Where Gelato 41 comes from

Gelato is a family, not a single plant. Sherbinski, the San Francisco grower Mario Guzman, made it by crossing Sunset Sherbet with Thin Mint GSC, then numbered the keepers he selected from the seeds. Leafly lists Gelato #41 as Sunset Sherbert x Thin Mint Cookies and says it “comes from the Cookies Family in California.”

In a 2018 interview with High Times, Sherbinski listed the Gelato numbers he kept as #25, #33, #41, #45, #47 and #49, and named Bacio Gelato separately. Many menus treat Bacio Gelato and Gelato 41 as the same plant; the breeder’s own list suggests they may not be, so if the difference matters to you, ask what the grower is selling. Gelato 33, sometimes sold as Larry Bird, is a sister selection.

Its best-known child is Jealousy. Seed Junky Genetics crossed Gelato 41 with Sherbert Bx1 to make it, and Leafly named Jealousy its Strain of the Year for 2022, writing that much of Jealousy’s reputation comes from its Gelato parent. Jealousy in turn fed Permanent Marker.

Aroma, flavor and terpenes

Leafly’s flavor tags for Gelato 41 are lavender, pepper and flowery, and it lists caryophyllene as the dominant terpene, followed by limonene and myrcene. The peppery note comes from the caryophyllene. Expect it to smell more like sweet dough and flowers than like fruit candy.

THC and effects

Leafly lists Gelato 41 at about 21% THC and Weedmaps gives 19% to 31%. NYC labels on Oct 17, 2026 ran from 20% to 31%.

Leafly reviewers, who give it 4.6 out of 5 across about 300 ratings, most often tag it relaxed, aroused and tingly. The most reported downsides are anxiety, paranoia and dry mouth. Those are consumer reports, not predictions. Start small and use our THC calculator to turn a label percentage into milligrams per serving.

Is Gelato 41 legal in New York?

Gelato 41 is legal to buy in New York only from a licensed adult-use dispensary or licensed delivery service. The rules below come from the state Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and other government sources; our New York cannabis guide covers them in more depth.

  • Age: you must be 21 or older to buy, possess or consume cannabis in New York (OCM, adult-use information).
  • How much you can carry: up to 3 ounces of cannabis and 24 grams of concentrated cannabis, which covers vapes, oils and edibles (same OCM page).
  • Licensed shops only: a business needs an adult-use license to sell cannabis. Licensed stores post the state’s Dispensary Verification Tool, a QR code, near their main entrance. You can check any store on the OCM dispensary verification page or with our license checker. A smoke shop or bodega selling “Gelato 41” without a license is not a legal seller, whatever the bag says.
  • Hemp products: under a federal law signed in November 2025, hemp products with more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container become unlawful in November 2026 (OCM, 2025 federal hemp law FAQ).
  • Where you can use it: in a private home or in most places where tobacco smoking is allowed, but not in a motor vehicle and not where smoking is banned. In New York City the Smoke Free Air Act covers smoking and vaping cannabis in most workplaces, parks, beaches, pedestrian plazas, and the indoor and outdoor areas of bars and restaurants (NYC Health, Smoke Free Air Act). Hotels and employers can set their own bans.
  • Driving: it is illegal to drive impaired by cannabis.
  • Taxes: retail cannabis carries a 9% state excise tax and a 4% local excise tax, 13% in total, and no sales tax (NY Department of Taxation and Finance). For sales on and after June 1, 2024, the old THC potency tax on distributors was replaced by a flat 9% distributor tax.
  • Growing it at home: adults 21 and over may grow 3 mature and 3 immature plants, with a cap of 6 and 6 per household (OCM).
  • Travel: it is illegal to take cannabis across state lines, and you cannot use it on federal land. TSA does not search for marijuana, but it refers anything it finds to law enforcement (TSA).
  • Federal law: on April 23, 2026 the Justice Department moved FDA-approved marijuana products and products regulated under a state medical marijuana license into Schedule III (U.S. Department of Justice). A broader rescheduling was still pending when we last checked, so adult-use cannabis remains illegal under federal law.
