Strain details
Cheese is a classic cannabis indica that earned its stellar reputation after being passed around in clone form until it wound up in the hands of Big Buddha Seeds, who stabilized the strain and released it as Big Buddha Cheese.
Cheese is thought to be a phenotype of Skunk No. 1, though the original female clone was eventually crossed with another indica strain.
Now, most this strain is thought to be a cross between Skunk No. 1 and an Afghani strain. The THC in cheese is notable. Featuring up to 20% of the psychoactive, this strain packs a heavy-bodied punch.
Some experience with cannabis is recommended for this strain, as novice consumers may find it a little too sedative.
The unique aroma makes this strain stand out in a line. In a world dominated by lemon pine sativas and sweet, fruity hybrids, this strain shines in a class of its own. This musky, pungent herb has a slight umami odor with hints of sweetness.
A dry pull or two is a must before smoking this strain. For many, a true Cheese will leave a cheddar-like aftertaste.
The Cheese experience
Cheese comes from world-class heritage. This strain expresses much of the happy, mood uplifting qualities of its mother, Skunk No. 1. Skunks are famous for their jolly, potent, and pleasantly upbeat highs.
It has inherited many of these qualities, often inspiring laughter and some thoughtful mental activity shortly after consuming.
However, this bud is overwhelmingly indica. This bud produces tranquilizing effects overall, and it will leave you stuck on the couch if you’re not careful.
Though this strain can boost mood, it also has the tendency to cause some fogginess. As with most cannabis strains, many find that this fogginess becomes more pronounced as the high lingers on.
Why do people use Cheese?
This strain makes for a very pleasant post-work treat. After a long day, it can quickly turn a frown upside down. In fact, many people use it to manage stress, anxiety, and depression.
This sleepy-eyed flower is best saved for the late afternoon or evening, however. Inhale a little too much of this stuff and you’ll likely find yourself yawning and spacing out.
Medical cannabis consumers frequently pick up Cheese when they are in need of some moderately heavy medication. The sedative Afghani lineage of this strain amped up the herb’s pain-fighting potential.
Those with chronic pain conditions like arthritis may particularly enjoy this strain, and may even find that a little taste can help take your mind off of your physical situation.
Not only does this strain provide a decent dose of pleasant body numbness, but many also find it a helpful sleep aid when rest is much-needed.Some consumers also find that Cheese relieves gastrointestinal discomfort like nausea, vomiting, and lack of appetite.
