A tasty and smokable conglomeration of fruity-citrus and unique spices, Head Cheese makes the mouth water just thinking about it. Perpetually cheesy and incredibly unique, the initial inhale of this peaceful herb is all cheese, while the exhale is leaves your mouth in a grove of musky citrus trees.
Effect: Head Cheese has very relaxing effects and is great for winding down a long work day. The Indica effects immediately kick in relaxing the muscles and killing pain. This head high is soaring and will last for a solid two hours.
Strain Background: While the specific origin/breeder of Head Cheese has seemingly been lost to the ravages of time, this strain remains popular at coffee shops/dispensaries throughout Amsterdam and the United States. Regardless of its specific origin, Head Cheese has cultivated a noteworthy following among American “cheeseheads.”
Medical Uses: Head Cheese is a captivating, mind-altering juggernaut: not only can it numb deep-rooted aches and pains, her anti-inflammatory properties are known to mitigate daily struggles with a host of debilitating ailments – including headaches and nausea.
