Wedding Cake

An Indica-dominant hybrid, which, just like cannabis itself, is called by a variety of names across borders…
Just as one would expect from any half-decent nuptial dessert, this strain was created by combining incredibly appealing genetic "ingredients". Its parent strains are Sour Hybrid Cherry Pie and the universally palatable, Girl Scout Cookies. Hence, also known as Pink Cookies and Birthday Cake. Surprisingly, regardless of the phenotype, this variety of Cake has no sugary sweet taste; instead, its flavour profile is mostly sour and tangy with just a hint of creaminess, also denoted to its Limonene terpene content.

Wedding Cake is proving very popular in both, medicinal and recreational applications. Qure Analytical Laboratory has found flowers of this strain to have between 16 and a staggering 22% THC. A high concentration of trichomes gives this strain its high THC levels and incredibly sticky texture. It is reported that, when smoked, WC has a very fast "heady" come-on, representative of a typical Sativa. If it's a break you need, and you're looking to kick back and "tune out" this wouldn't be our first recommendation. However, it must be said that, as with any other psychoactive substance, in the correct set and setting, this focused thinking can be accompanied by feelings of euphoria. One can anticipate the relaxing and sedating effects of WC's s dominant Indica side to take effect approximately 60 minutes in. We suggest that you surrender to the warm and comfortable heaviness that may spread through the spine and limbs. Alternatively, provided your dosage remains humble, the combination of continued cerebral stimulation & physical comfort is favoured by musicians, content creators, writers, designers, and other creatives.

Medical applications include, but are not limited to, attention deficit disorders to focus on specific tasks. It is an excellent appetite stimulant that could help chemo patients or those who have lost their appetite due to disease or medication. The body-high aids in soothing both temporary and chronic aches and pains and, in high enough doses, can bring about relief for insomnia.

Fun Fact: Looking to WC's lineage, you'll find a proudly South African land strain Durban Poison.
