Anyway, there are many different options as far as the Cheese weed strain goes, so let’s take a look. We have a ton of different Cheese cannabis strains for you to check out, so let’s get to it!

Key Takeaways

  • These strains are hybrids or crosses between various other strains, resulting in diverse effects, THC levels, and flavors.
  • Each Cheese strain has different effects and THC levels, catering to various preferences and experiences.
  • The Cheese strains are notable for their unique and often complex flavor profiles. These can range from combinations of cheesy, earthy, and fruity notes to more specific flavors like citrus, berry, or even diesel.

1. Blue Cheese Strain

Blue Cheese is a cross between UK Cheese and blueberry. This is an Indica strain of cannabis that is extremely savory and sweet, plus notes of blue Cheese and berries, with the smoke being smooth and creamy.

This strain features a moderate THC level of 18%, so it does hit hard enough, but not so hard that it can't be smoked by beginners. This is an Indica dominant strain, so it is going to make you feel sedated, sleepy, hungry, and happy too.

2. Mac & Cheese Strain

The Mac n Cheese strain is a cross between alien Cheese and The Mac. This is a hybrid strain that leans more towards the Sativa side of things, as it creates feelings of euphoria and happiness, and can also make you feel uplifted, focused, and energetic. The smoke here is very smooth and creamy, and it's going to taste like citrus and cheese.

This strain can contain up to 23% THC or higher, so it is quite the heavy hitter. Although it is Sativa dominant, we still don't recommend smoking it in the middle of the day.

3. UK Cheese Strain

UK Cheese is a phenotype of Skunk #1. This is a fairly strong hybrid strain that contains roughly 20% THC. It is therefore ideal for experienced smokers or beginners in very small quantities.

This is a sativa-dominant strain, so it's going to make you feel euphoric, happy, energetic, and focused. This strain is not going to sedate you like Indica strains do, although it is going to make you feel hungry. People also enjoy the very spicy Cheese and berry-like flavor that this strain features.

4. Head Cheese Strain

Head Cheese is a sativa-dominant strain that is a combination of UK Cheese and 707 Headband. This strain has a whopping 24% THC, so it tastes very strong and is not ideal for beginners.

With that said, it can still be smoked during the daytime, as it is a Sativa, and it's going to make you feel happy, euphoric, energized, and focused. It has a bubbly and intense high, so make sure to clear your schedule for the rest of the day. As for the flavor, here you will definitely taste the Cheese.

5. Purple Cheese Strain

Here we have a very interesting hybrid strain that is a cross between Purple #1, Lowryder, and Blue Cheese. It features an enjoyable sweet and fruity flavor, not quite as cheesy as some other Cheese strains. However, you should still taste the Cheese a little bit.

What is cool is that this strain has 18% THC yet also has a good deal of CBD. This is more of an Indica, and it's going to make you feel fairly heavy, sedated, sleepy, and hungry. It's a good option to get some sleep and to help treat chronic pain.

6. Swiss Cheese Strain

Not much is known about the Swiss Cheese strain, although we do know that it is a hybrid that is Indica dominant. It can contain up to 25% THC, so it can also be fairly strong.

The dominant flavor here is Cheese and hints of earthiness. Effects include being talkative, giggly, focused, and energized, although this tends to quickly give way to the Indica effects.

7. OG Cheese Strain

The OG Cheese strain is a hybrid cross between Afghani and OG Skunk #1. What you get here is a strain that is extremely euphoric. It's going to make you feel very happy, giggly, talkative, and energetic. It's going to produce a very strong cerebral high.

However, it might also produce a bit of an Indica body high, particularly an hour or two after being smoked. This strain tastes very funky and cheesy. It contains roughly 17% THC, so it should be ideal for beginners and seasoned smokers alike.

8. Sweet Cheese Strain

The Sweet Cheese strain is a combination of Blackjack and Cheese. This strain is about 70% Sativa dominant, so it should make you feel quite happy, euphoric, energized, focused, and creative. However, the Indica side of things will take hold after an hour or two, and you will feel slightly sedated and hungry.

In terms of the THC level, this sits at 21%, combined with 1% CBG, so it is quite the potent strain. It's something we recommend saving for the end of the day or if you are a beginner, consuming in small quantities.
