Cheese (also called UK Cheese or Exodus Cheese) is a famous clone-only strain that originated in England around 1989, reportedly from a pack of Sensi Seeds’ Skunk #1. An extremely potent and high-yielding plant with a pungent cheese-like odor, it was passed around the underground to various growers and breeders over the years until it became one of the most popular and ubiquitous strains in the UK. Sometime around 2004, the breeder known as “Big Buddha” took this clone and crossed it with a carefully selected Afghani indica to create a seed version of Cheese. Big Buddha Cheese won the High Times 2006 Cannabis Cup in the indica category and went on to become probably the most popular and widely available Cheese hybrid produced in seed form. It is known for its sweet, tropical fruit meets skunky-cheese smell and large yields of high potency flowers.

With 40+ years of experience on the clock i was pleasantly surprised by the smell, taste and effect of Big Buddha Cheese... It's like a more refined skunk weed, less aggressive and simultaneously boosting creativity, energy and the neural pathways to compartmentalize chronic pain. I make it a point to only aquire organic & biologically grown products. Big Buddha Cheese

6/10! I went through this bud relatively fast. It was not one my best highs but the high still felt good nonetheless. It is perfect for if you just want to relax, binge watch a tv series, or focus on some work. Do not even get me started on the sleep you get while coming down from this high. Amazing! Would definitely recommend this to anyone who has trouble with concentrating and sleeping, as well as people with lower tolerances since it is quite a mellow high. Just make sure to light a candle and keep a window open!

This is a great strain for relaxing at home and or doing activities. I feel relaxed but also have energy to do small tasks like folding laundry or making a meal. It is a really strong strain so a small amount will get you properly high. My mouth isn't really that dry but my eyes is. I chatted for quite a while with my roommate so I felt talkative. It is smooth on the throat when you smoke with a bong, and the taste is good. Would recommend for watching a movie, it makes you really focused. Great strain overall, perfect for any occasion :) (Take note this is just my personal experience and yours might differ)

definitely a banger strain, i’ve been re upping on it for the past 2 weeks and it’s an amazing strain. it looks great, it smells great, it’s a kiefy strain, it tastes great. everything about it is just about perfect, all tho. if it was a little more heavy on the indica, this would 100% be one of my favorite strains of all time. everytime i smoke it, i almost get tingles down my back and up my neck as it kicks in. it kicks in almost immediately, and the taste makes you just wanna smoke more and more and more. it’s amazing

the taste is amazing it’s very hard to describe other than just saying cheese but the smell reminds me of like a creamy chapstick about like caramex lip balm, hard buds but foxtails once into flower long enough but that’s not a problem the taste makes up for it as u exhale the smoke there’s like a sour tang the cheese flavor will leave on your tongue can’t recommend enough love it, I have sluricane ix by in-house and kushmints an wedding cake by seed junky and I’d rather smoke this if that tells u anything I prefer a more funky taste tho.

I have fibro and bipolar disorder. This strain does a great job of balancing anti anxiety effects with some easement in pain. It lifts me up and relaxes me. Great day time strain for us chronic pain sufferers.

After a long period of smoking haze only, this strain shot me right into the sky. Got less high of the haze lately so I decided to light up an indica and a good thing that was. Been on higher levels for quite a period of time after smoking half a gram. Taste is really nice and the effect comes up slowly (to me). But even though I smoked it at daytime I still was capable of doing daily business.
