UK Cheese Strain Overview
A true head-turner, Cheese, or “UK Cheese,” is a cannabis cultivar that originates from Skunk #1. This phenotype originated in 1987 in the UK, and the seeds have since spread across the globe. Like its namesake, Cheese has a cheesy aroma with pepper and herbal flavors and is high-yielding, blissful, and potent. Notice its light green buds with vivid orange hairs and a thick dusting of trichomes. Consumers report that you may feel content, cheery, and relaxed after a few puffs of the Cheese weed strain.
Interestingly, the cheese aroma of this cultivar is not caused by terpenes but rather by the presence of fatty acids, specifically octanoic and decanoic acids.
Strain profile, effects, and common uses are based on customer reviews. Further research is needed, and effects may vary by user. Information on this page does not constitute or replace medical advice.

UK Cheese Strain Effects & Common Usage
The Cheese weed strain contains 15%-20% THC and 1% CBN. Both cannabinoids harbor neuroprotective qualities in small doses and may also increase appetite.
Hungry. THC is a natural appetite stimulant because it can increase the production of the “hunger hormone” ghrelin.
Sleepy. High doses of THC and myrcene may leave you feeling fairly tranquil.
Giggly. This cannabinoid, THC, is known to enhance euphoria, which may make you laugh!
Anxiety. Researchers emphasize the anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects of caryophyllene.
Pain. Along with THC, the terpenes caryophyllene, pinene, and myrcene have also demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and may help with pain relief.
Stress. The stress-relieving potential of limonene may be attributed to its influence on mood disorders such as anxiety.
UK Cheese Strain Dosage Recommendations
The Cheese weed strain contains up to 20% THC, which may be too much for beginners. New users should start with one or two puffs and wait 15 to 30 minutes before consuming more. Experienced consumers should start with 2-3 puffs, progressing based on symptomatic relief.
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.
