Cheese

Description

Appearance

Cheese buds are chunky and dense with a sticky texture. They often come in a deep green hue with vibrant orange pistils and a frosty coating of trichomes. The nugs look as potent as they feel, with a slightly rough, old-school charm.

Aroma (Terpene Profile)

Cheese hits the nose with a strong sour and musky scent that instantly reminds users of aged cheese. Underneath that bold first impression are notes of earth and herbal funk. The dominant terpenes are myrcene (relaxing), caryophyllene (anti-inflammatory and peppery), and limonene (bright, citrusy lift).

Effects

Cheese delivers a well-balanced high that starts with a euphoric head rush before melting into a calming body effect. It’s great for unwinding after a long day but still lets you stay sociable and alert. The high is long-lasting, making it ideal for managing persistent stress or pain. Most users describe the effects as happy, relaxed, and slightly euphoric.

Flavors

The flavor of Cheese mirrors its aroma: a tangy, funky cheese taste with earthy and herbal undertones. On the exhale, there’s often a slight sweetness that balances the savory profile. It’s unique, bold, and not for the faint of heart—but loyal fans can’t get enough.

Genetics / Origin

Cheese is believed to be a phenotype of Skunk #1 that was stabilized in the UK in the late 1980s. Its distinct smell and balanced effects quickly gained a cult following, leading to the development of several Cheese-based hybrids over the years.

THC and CBD Content

Cheese generally features THC levels between 15% and 20%, with some phenotypes reaching higher. CBD levels are typically low (around 0.5% or less), though some medical variants have been bred for higher CBD content.

Medical Benefits

Medically, Cheese is often used for chronic pain, stress, depression, and insomnia. Its calming effects help ease both mental and physical tension, while the happy head high can lighten the mood and reduce anxiety. It may also help with appetite loss.

Who’s It For

Cheese is a great choice for users who enjoy strong aromas and want a functional body high that doesn’t knock them out completely. It’s ideal for evening use or when you want to chill without full sedation. If you’re new to cannabis, be prepared for the strong smell and start with a small dose.
