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.

Birthday Cake Strain Effects & Common Usage

This strain’s potent THC content and blend of terpenes are reported to deliver a burst of pain relief, relaxation, happiness, and euphoria.

Relaxing. Linalool, limonene, and caryophyllene may all promote feelings of relaxation.

Sleepy. High levels of THC and the presence of the sedating terpene myrcene may guarantee a good night’s sleep. 

Hungry. Linalool and THC may boost appetite.

Pain. Along with the pain-relieving potential of THC, the terpenes caryophyllene, pinene, limonene, and myrcene have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and may help with pain relief.

Depression. Studies on pinene and linalool reveal that these terpenes may reduce depressive-like behaviors. 

Stress. The stress-relieving potential of limonene may be attributed to its influence on mood disorders such as anxiety.

Birthday Cake Strain Dosage Recommendations

Beginners and experienced cannabis consumers should start low and slow to avoid intense intoxicating effects and heavy sedation. The sweet spot is 1-3 puffs spaced 15-30 minutes apart. 

The right dosage can vary greatly from one user to the next. If you have questions about finding the right dosage or product type for your needs, consider consulting with a medical cannabis doctor, or you can request a consultation with NuggMD’s Cannabis Concierge.
