Birthday Cake Strain Overview
It’s a birthday every day for the cannabis consumers who choose Birthday Cake. Also known as “Birthday Cake Kush,” the effects of this cultivar sway in the direction of being more relaxing with a slice of euphoria built into its layers. Cherry Pie and Girl Scout Cookies are the parents of this dessert-flavored strain, which proves popular among patients who suffer from depression, appetite loss, pain, stress, and inflammation.
Celebrate the end of a busy day with a hefty dose of this mind-soothing remedial strain, or start the day with a party in your mouth as you savor the sweet cake-like taste of Birthday Cake. The crystalline trichomes resemble sugary frosting on this strain’s vibrant green and purple-tinged buds. Smokers will notice an initial rush of euphoria and happiness and then slip into relaxation, and in higher doses, sedating effects will surface fairly quickly.
