Cheese, also known as "Dinafem Cheese," is an indica-dominant hybrid marijuana strain from the U.K. named for its sharply sour aroma. Cheese has achieved widespread popularity for its unique flavor and consistent potency. With origins that stretch back to the late 1980s, Cheese is said to descend from a Skunk #1 phenotype whose pungent aroma made it stand out. Breeders like Big Buddha Seeds later introduced Afghani indica genetics to increase Cheese’s trichome production and yields. The resulting strain is now well-known for its relaxed, happy effects that gently ease you into a blissful state of mind.

When I smoke joints, it usually takes about a gram for me to get to where I like to be. That is information so you can understand my tolerance level. 5:15 in the morning I woke up and proceeded to grind up 1 g of flower. I use raw black cones 1 1/4”. I was not able to fit the whole gram in that cone. I probably put .8 in the cone.. when I went outside to smoke it I got less than halfway through and wanted to quit because it was hitting so heavy. The feelings that came next were amazing. I struggle with depression and anxiety, and it was amazing how I felt in control of my emotions. It motivated me to start cleaning my house, so I cleaned up my bathroom. I believe that was the sativa side of the hybrid part which then lead into very calm feeling and just mellow. 4 PM proceeded to smoke the other half of the joint and I feel the same exact high. It took less than a half a gram each time for me to feel it . It made me feel very euphoric, happy, hungry. If you asked me if I had anxiety or depression while I was high on this strain, I’d probably tell you I don’t even know what those are even though I have them because they were knocked out.

Wow!! Just picked up some cheese in north west England.. this one hits real hard it’s been well over 15 years since I last had this strain, nice and smooth! Blazing outside and it stinks. Now this is what you call stoned!! 🤣

just to up and float away... one of my favourites and I've not heard a lot. almost instant pain relief, little bit of a head high too but a good hard heavy hitter for your body. Coach lock is big with this strain. it leaves a subtle bit strong (if that makes sense?) after taste of cheese, a subtle after taste as if you've eaten a strong cheese may be a better description. I'm a medical user (this was not through prescriptions, it was through a very good friend and I don't know why they it or how they acquired it either... promise!) anyway, this is better than 99% of the UK medical options I've tried and I've tried a fair amount of the options. all in all, get out of you can. you'll enjoy it. (helped pain)
