Pro secrets
The secret to unlocking the full potential of Cheese lies in temperature control. To preserve its delicate Caryophyllene terpenes, vaporize at 266°F (130°C) rather than combusting. This triggers the entourage effect, blending its 18% THC with secondary cannabinoids. It offers a balanced transition, making it great for social afternoons, hiking, or relaxing after work. Beginners should start with a single inhalation due to its fast-acting onset, while seasoned users can appreciate its deep, multi-layered terpene depth.

Cheese rewards patient growers and experienced consumers: its Caryophyllene-Limonene profile is most pronounced in afternoon sessions, and the high pairs well with social smoking.
Hidden Truth
Not every jar labeled Cheese is the real thing — authentic examples show Caryophyllene on top and finish with a cheese note.

First time trying Cheese. Flavor is on point; start low if you're sensitive to THC. Great for evening sessions.
