Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake is a gastronomically delighting strain that is known for its tastefulness. It inherits the delectable qualities from its parents which are Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. Somewhere in its lineage, it has OG Kush, Durban Poison, and the beautiful Granddaddy Purple. Wedding Cake is an Indica dominant hybrid strain with a punch of THC, up to 25%. In some quarters, this strain is referred to as Birthday Cake or Pink Cookies.

Wedding Cake has bright green tear-drop shaped buds with ends that have pinkish coloration. The buds are usually blanketed by a layer of gluey resinous buds.

The scent is not so wedding like as it has prominent pungent notes dominating the lavender-like notes. The flavor is one to die for, patients have described it using the following terms:

• Sugary
• Vanilla-like
• Cookie-like
• Buttery
• Ginger-like
• Spicy
• Earthy

With such a generous mix of flavors, this strain hits all parts of the palette and leaves it begging for more.

Wedding Cake has high THC levels that can overpower a new patient. If you are one of them, consider starting out on less potent strains or using minimal doses of Wedding Cake. CBD in this strain is usually around 0.02%. Given the abounding aromas, this strain boasts of a rich terpene profile. The spicy notes are linked to the presence of beta-caryophyllene which binds to CB2 receptors in the brain. This makes Wedding cake a very effective medicinal strain.

After taking Wedding Cake, you will probably experience a gentle head buzz that takes a while before it translates to euphoria. This will comes with bouts of laughter, a wave of happiness and a temporary loss of short-term memory. Newer patients may also get some psychedelic effects. Being an indica, expect to experience a gradual relaxation of your muscles and dissipation of energy.

The temptation is to always crawl to the sofa and lie flat. This is not a bad idea as the relaxation can help to sort out chronic fatigue as well as backaches, and muscle tension. Wedding Cake is best consumed “after the wedding.” when all you need to do is get lazy and blackout.

Wedding Cake has been used to relieve pain and inflammation because of the high THC levels that it contains. Patients with arthritis, sciatica, and fibromyalgia have found relief from this strain. It also acts as an appetite stimulant when consumed in moderate doses.
