Slap and Tickle strain guide
Slap and Tickle is an indica-leaning hybrid of GMO and Grape Pie, also sold as Slap N Tickle. It has an odd, savoury smell, often described as buttery and peppery with a little grape, and a heavy, relaxed feel.
Where does Slap and Tickle come from?
Slap and Tickle is a cross of GMO, the famously garlicky strain, and Grape Pie, a sweet, grape-forward dessert strain. Sources agree on that pairing.
The breeder is less clear. It is most often credited to Cannarado Genetics, a Colorado seed company, but one strain database doesn't name a breeder, so treat that as likely rather than certain.
Most listings call it indica-leaning, which fits its GMO side.
What does Slap and Tickle smell and taste like?
This one isn't fruity in the usual way. People describe butter, black pepper and honey, with a sour, dank or chemical edge. One reviewer described flavour notes that jump from garlic to grape candy to something like espresso, which sums up the mix of its two parents well.
Caryophyllene is usually listed as its top terpene, with myrcene and limonene close behind, though some listings put myrcene first. Caryophyllene fits the peppery bite, and myrcene the earthy, heavy side.
Slap and Tickle effects: what people report
People most often call Slap and Tickle relaxed and sleepy, and many mention getting hungry. Euphoric, giggly and happy come up too, so it isn't only a couch strain for everyone, but it does lean heavy.
These are experiences people report, not promises. Your batch, your amount and your tolerance all change how it feels. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the common complaints, and a few people mention feeling paranoid or anxious, or a harsh throat hit.
How strong is Slap and Tickle?
Slap and Tickle is a strong strain. One strain database lists it at about 24% THC, and lab results shared by reviewers range from the mid 20s to above 30%. CBD is usually close to zero.
Go slow if it's new to you, especially with a batch near the top of that range. The THC and CBD numbers on your label tell you more than the name does.
Buying Slap and Tickle in Canada
Look for both spellings, Slap and Tickle and Slap N Tickle, since listings use either. Check the label for the THC and CBD numbers for that batch.
It may turn up as dried flower, pre-rolls or concentrates. Fresher flower holds more of that savoury, buttery smell, so look at the packaging date.
Slap and Tickle vs GMO
GMO is the parent behind Slap and Tickle's savoury side. GMO is all garlic, onion and funk, while Slap and Tickle softens that with butter, honey and a hint of grape from Grape Pie. Both are high-THC and usually described as heavy and relaxing. If you want the full garlic hit, GMO is the classic. If you'd like something savoury but a little sweeter, try Slap and Tickle.
