Where Sugar Cone Comes From
Allbud lists Sugar Cone as Gelato 45 crossed with Cookies N’ Cream. Leafly lists no parents, though it shows Slow Lane as a child of Sugar Cone. No breeder is named by either source, and we found no release date, so the lineage should be read as likely rather than confirmed.

Leafly describes the effect as mostly energizing, with focus, energy and creativity the most common reports. Allbud describes a quick mental rush behind the eyes, then clarity, then a drift into a happy, detached state.
