About Moonshot
Developed by Royal Cannabis on the West Coast in the late 2010s, Moonshot is a hybrid cross of Slurricane (Do-Si-Dos x Purple Punch) and Gelato #41 (Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC). The strain gained initial traction within Missouri’s medical market before expanding to other legal states. Its aroma features pungent, spicy berry top notes layered over a gassy, earthy base with a subtle creamy dough finish. The flavor profile offers a savory blend of berry and warm spice, accented by bright citrus. Consumers frequently report an initial euphoric, head-clearing onset that gradually transitions into deep, heavy body relaxation. Due to its sedating nature and potency, it is generally recommended for evening use rather than daytime activities, and may be challenging for those with low tolerance.
Plant characteristics
The buds are dense and compact, displaying deep purple hues contrasted by fiery orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. Two phenotypes have been identified: the "Citrus Fuel" variant, which tends to grow taller and finish earlier, and the "Creamy Gas" variant, which is noted for its denser flower structure and a myrcene-forward profile.
