Sticky Rice strain guide
Sticky Rice is an indica-leaning hybrid with a creamy, citrusy smell and a touch of mint. People describe it as calm and mellow, with a light lift in mood. It's a newer strain, and the sources don't agree on what it was bred from.
Where does Sticky Rice come from?
This one is not well documented. The version most often listed comes from Lit Farms and is described as Lemon Cherry Gelato crossed with Permanent Marker. Other listings give it as Ice Cream Mints crossed with Jumanji, and at least one more cut is tied to Ice Cream Cake and Kush Mints.
So the name likely covers more than one plant, depending on who grew it. If the parentage matters to you, check what the producer says about their own cut.
What does Sticky Rice smell and taste like?
Listings describe a creamy, sweet smell with citrus peel and lemon on top, plus mint, a nutty note and some earth underneath. One description adds a floral, jasmine-like edge and a faint diesel funk.
No source we found publishes terpene results for Sticky Rice, so we haven't listed any. The flavour is usually described as sweet and creamy with a sour citrus bite.
Sticky Rice effects: what people report
People describe a slow build into a calm body feel, with a light, happy headspace on top. Some say it stays mellow and sociable, while others find it drifts toward sleepy as it settles, which fits its indica lean.
There aren't many reviews yet, so treat these as early reports rather than a settled picture. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is Sticky Rice?
The listing we found puts Sticky Rice at about 21% to 23% THC, with very little CBD. That's only one published range, so your batch could land outside it.
Start small and give it time before having more. The THC and CBD numbers on your label matter more than the strain name, and our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what to look for.
Buying Sticky Rice in Canada
Because different breeders use the same name for different crosses, read the label and any producer notes to see which cut you're getting.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower holds more of that creamy citrus smell.
Sticky Rice vs Lemon Cherry Gelato
Lemon Cherry Gelato is the parent named most often for Sticky Rice, though that link isn't settled. Lemon Cherry Gelato leans bright and fruity, with cherry and citrus up front, while Sticky Rice is described as creamier and mintier, with a nutty, earthy base. Both get called happy and relaxed, but Sticky Rice reports lean more mellow and sleepy. If you want fruit first, pick Lemon Cherry Gelato. If creamy and calm sounds better, try Sticky Rice.
