Origins and Genetics

Cannoli is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica / 40% sativa) created by crossing Alphakronik with Exodus Cheese. Named after the classic Italian dessert, this strain blends dessert-like sweetness with classic cheesy funk, delivering rich flavor and deeply relaxing effects.

Flavor and Aroma

True to its name, Cannoli offers an indulgent, dessert-forward flavor profile. Expect sweet, creamy sugary cheese on the inhale, layered with nutty dough and rich vanilla undertones. The aroma mirrors the flavor closely, filling the air with creamy vanilla notes accented by doughy pastry and a subtle, savory cheese finish.

Potency and Effects

With THC levels averaging 20–26%, Cannoli delivers a high that settles in gently but deeply. The effects begin behind the eyes with a pleasant, weighty cerebral sensation that lifts the mood and encourages sociability. Users often feel happy, chatty, and relaxed at first. As the high progresses, the mental haze deepens and the body grows heavier, eventually leading to sedation and sleep. Cannoli is frequently chosen to help manage depression, insomnia, chronic pain, appetite loss, nausea, and mood swings.

Appearance

Cannoli produces small, rounded buds with a minty green base and subtle bright blue undertones. Thin orange pistils weave throughout the flower, while tiny blue-tinted white trichomes coat the surface, giving the buds a soft, frosted finish.
