Mood’s Dante’s Inferno Strain: The Perfect Hybrid
Mood’s Dante’s Inferno strain is an indica-dominant hybrid that blends strawberry, nutty cookie, and black pepper flavors with a clear-headed high.
Written by Brandon Topp
Lately, I’ve been working through Mood’s THCa Flower lineup, looking for hybrid strains that provide relaxation without sleepiness. Some hybrids lean too far into sedation, while others don’t bring the full-body calm I enjoy. I needed a strain that delivers the best of both worlds—clear-headed focus with just enough relaxation to enhance the senses.
That’s when I tried Dante’s Inferno strain — a cross between Devil Driver and Oreoz, this strain brings a smooth but powerful high with flavors of ripe strawberries, nutty cookies, and a black pepper finish.
Since it’s known for enhancing feelings of happiness and relaxation, I decided to test it out during a laid-back fetch session with my dog. Of course, I couldn’t ignore the strain’s dessert-like flavors, so I finished the experience with a homemade ice cream sundae that paired perfectly with Dante’s Inferno’s sweet and spicy taste.

As soon as I unsealed Mood’s fresh-packed Dante’s Inferno strain, I was greeted by a mix of sweet strawberries, nutty cookies, and a bold touch of black pepper.
The aroma was sweet but complex, blending dessert-like notes with a spicy, slightly herbal kick that gave it a layered, intriguing scent.
This indica-dominant hybrid was originally created by Clearwater Genetics and Tiki Madman and has gone on to be replicated and enhanced by countless talented growers like Mood's cannabis partners and others for a wealth of great weed that blends sociability and euphoria.
The buds were dense, sticky, and absolutely gorgeous. Like much of Mood's delightful flower, each nug camecovered in trichomes, making them look as frosted as a sugar-coated cookie.
These nugs pop with crystal-covered lime greens, violets, and burnt orange hairs.
I rolled up a joint, took a deep inhale, and let the flavors sink in. The first hit was bright and fruity, with juicy strawberry sweetness leading the way.
As the smoke settled, I picked up on warm, nutty cookie notes, leaving a smooth, buttery feel on my tongue.
The exhale delivered a surprising touch of black pepper, adding a bold, slightly spicy finish that kept the flavor profile exciting.

Dante’s Inferno is an indica-dominant hybrid that uniquely provides a relaxing body buzz without immediate sleepiness. I love that.
It relaxes my mind without being so strong that I need to knock out or space out.
The high builds gradually, leaving you focused, happy, and completely at ease.
The first few hits gave me an instant boost in mood, replacing any stress with a warm, content feeling.
I noticed an enhanced sense of focus that you rarely feel with indica-dominant hybrids, making it easy to stay engaged and enjoy the moment.
After about 20 minutes, the body high settled in, helping me feel relaxed but still present.
This is where the indica-leaning effects really kicked in, offering a full-body calm that didn’t knock me out but kept me grounded and comfortable.
With Dante’s Inferno high and fully engaged, I grabbed my dog’s leash and a tennis ball and headed outside.
The strain helped the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable—instead of just throwing the ball, I found myself fully in the moment, appreciating every jump, chase, and excited tail wag.
The feelings of joy and connection were amplified, making this one of the most fun and engaging fetch sessions I’ve had. The strain’s calm but clear-headed high let me relax while still being playful and focused, striking the perfect balance between activity and ease.
After an hour of playing, we both needed a cool-down—my dog needed water, and I was craving something sweet.
I went inside and made a homemade ice cream sundae, layering strawberry gelato with crumbled butter cookies, caramel drizzle, and a sprinkle of sea salt.
The sweetness of the strawberries and buttery cookies matched the flavors of Dante’s Inferno perfectly, while the black pepper added just the right touch of warmth to contrast the cold ice cream.
Every bite enhanced the lingering flavors of the strain, making this the perfect way to wind down and enjoy the rest of the high.
