Cheese Strain Review – Bonza Blog

Cheese is a remarkable Indica-dominant strain that has become quite known for its unique, pungent scent that is reminiscent of cheddar. Some people have even given it the nickname “stinky socks.” It has a reputation for being an exceptional strain that delivers a deep relaxing vibe perfect for people living a fast-paced and stressful life.

Named after a dairy product, Cheese is a cross of Skunk #1 and Afghani. Both these strains are legendary in the world of cannabis.

By most accounts, the first or original Cheese in the early 1980s is thought to be a descendant of a rare Skunk #1 phenotype. Credit goes to Exodus Collective, a group of freewheelers in the UK which ran underground dance parties. But in 1988 to 1989, another breeder, Big Buddha Seeds, introduced the Afghani lineage to increase the production of trichome and its yield.

Odor and Flavors

Some people who may have watched Ratatouille may remember a scene in the movie where Remy appreciated the food in front of him after sniffing it. In some ways, that is how users feel with Cheese.

In describing the pungent cheesy odor of the strain, it may not sound enticing. In reality, the weird scent blends quite well with the earthy aroma. A sweet herbal note accompanies its fragrance, and as a result, the contrast in flavors makes it pleasant for most users. A buttery and creamy texture is also evident in its aftertaste.

Effects

Inheriting the best traits of its parents, users can expect the same energizing buzz of Skunk #1, and the ebbing euphoric and relaxing effects of the pure Afghani strain. Rather than highlighting these individual traits, Cheese combines both and delivers them in an intense but not overwhelming experience.

Early on, it begins with a mild uplifting buzz that changes the mood. It does not take long before users find themselves feeling cheerful and happier than they were minutes ago. Furthermore, they also feel more energetic and motivated to do tasks.

However, the cerebral head high tapers off as the physical effects start to manifest itself. As the sedative-like traits of Cheese work its way to the body, it causes the users to remain clear-headed but in a state of utter bliss. At this point, most users remain productive even as their mind processes ideas popping in and out. Designers and artists, for instance, can use this strain when creating new content or art pieces.

Cheese does come with enough potency to leave one on couch-lock if overused. Not that it is a bad thing, but some people use it this way to fall asleep.
