Some cannabis genetics create bright, energetic highs, while others are designed for deep relaxation and full-body relief. The latter represents a recent flower I tried — Mood’s Dark Rainbow strain.

I wanted a strain that would take me into full-on chill mode, so I set up a solo late-night deep-thought session with some music, low lighting, and a decadent snack that matched Dark Rainbow’s indulgent presence.

Trying the Dark Rainbow Strain

As soon as I cracked open the heat-sealed Mood bag, a unique aroma of earthy kush, sweet berries, and a hint of diesel spice filled the air.

The deep complexity of the scent reminded me why Rainbow Belts genetics are so highly sought after—it’s a perfect blend of fruity and pungent with a subtle funk from its GMO lineage.

This strain is a harmonious blend of Girl Scout Cookies x ChemDawg x Rainbow Belts F1, a dark strain characterized by its bold flavors, sparkling trichomes, and euphoric yet body-melting effects. Some distributors also report it as a GMO x Rainbow Belts cross.

Originally bred from the legendary Rainbow Belts F1 line by Archive Seed Bank, this cross delivers similar effects to many strains known for deep body relaxation, making it the ideal choice for winding down, sinking into a comfortable space, and letting go of the day’s tension.

The dense buds were frosted with sparkling trichomes and threaded with deep blue and purple hues, giving them a stunning, moody appearance. The presence of resin was undeniable, making the flower sticky to the touch and rich in potency.

I packed my bong, took a long inhale, and waited for the flavors to unfold.

The inhale was rich and complex, with strong notes of lemon-lime, gassy grapefruit, and herbal sage, while a deep, earthy kush flavor complemented the exhale with a subtle diesel bite.

Taste, Smell, Look

Taste

Dark Rainbow is a feast for the palate, offering a bold mix of citrus sourness, herbal spice, and diesel undertones.

The inhale is dominated by blueberry and cherry notes, while the exhale carries earthy kush, pepper, and a light citrus tang.

Smell

The unique aroma of Dark Rainbow blends ripe grapefruit, gassy diesel, and sweet kush.

Breaking apart the buds intensifies the presence of skunky spice and citrus zest, making it a deeply aromatic experience.

Look

Dark Rainbow’s deep purple and blue-tinged nugs are coated in sparkling trichomes, giving them a sugar-dusted glow.

The dense flower is sticky with resin, and the thin, fiery orange pistils weave beautifully through the dark backdrop.

Potency & Effects

Dark Rainbow kicks in fast, delivering an immediate wave of warmth, which for me resonated in a brighter smile and a sense of euphoria.

The first hit sent a warm rush through my head, clearing out any lingering tension and leaving me in a deeply content state of mind.

After about 15 minutes, the effects began settling into my body, starting with a soothing pressure behind the eyes and a slow relaxation in my shoulders.

The high spread downward, making my limbs feel weightless yet anchored in pure comfort.

This strain makes time feel stretched, music sound richer, and the present moment more immersive.

Its effects are similar to those of many strains bred for deep relaxation, making it a potent strain for sinking into a creative headspace or simply zoning out with a good playlist.

Users report that Dark Rainbow is ideal for full-body relief, particularly when needing a long-lasting, powerful experience that eases tension and enhances quality of life.

The Perfect Pairing: Music, Low Lights & Indulgent Snacking

Once the body high fully settled in, I dimmed the lights, put on a vinyl record with deep, bass-heavy instrumentals, and let myself fully drift into the music.

The vibrations felt more intense, the soundscape more immersive, and every note seemed to ripple through my entire body.

To complement the rich and decadent flavors of Dark Rainbow, I paired it with brie cheese drizzled with honey and topped with crushed walnuts.

The creamy, buttery texture of the brie melted perfectly, while the sweet honey and nutty crunch balanced each bite. The flavors matched the berry, vanilla, and kush undertones of the strain, creating an incredible sensory experience.

As I sank further into my couch, my thoughts moved slower, my body felt heavier, and the night stretched on in the most satisfying way possible.
