Cheese potency is higher THC than average.

Cheese, also known as "Dinafem Cheese," is an indica-dominant hybrid marijuana strain from the U.K. named for its sharply sour aroma. Cheese has achieved widespread popularity for its unique flavor and consistent potency. With origins that stretch back to the late 1980s, Cheese is said to descend from a Skunk #1 phenotype whose pungent aroma made it stand out. Breeders like Big Buddha Seeds later introduced Afghani indica genetics to increase Cheese’s trichome production and yields. The resulting strain is now well-known for its relaxed, happy effects that gently ease you into a blissful state of mind.

This strain is incredible if you have a illness. I know when I had cancer and smoked this strain, it made me so damn hungry and it made all my physical pain go away. It made me forget that I was sick and it uplifted me. I remember buying a half ounce of this strain and I was like holy shit it smells so pungent. I was scared to smoke it lol, but it did the trick and I went from puking and dry heaving, to eating everything in sight! I'm now cancer free and I think I owe most of it to Marijuana.

I've currently purchased an amount of cheese in which half I've used for smoking and some I've used for tea. It's good stuff and let me feeling happy and worrying less about shit that didn't matter. I smoked this bud and kicked it at a party with the dude my ex cheated on me with. We even smoked the cheese together. We just chilled out and had a good time. I'm also French, I know good cheese.
