Blue cheese is one of those love it or hate it tastes that most likely has divided families for generations.
Some can’t imagine a buffalo wing NOT dipped in blue cheese dressing, while others most likely have had one taste only to never return.
Blue Cheese Cannabis, on the other hand, should not elicit these reactions as it is a marvel to be appreciated by all.
The smell of the Blue Cheese strain may be off-putting to certain users, but this predominantly Indica strain has folks buzzing with its relaxing effects that are sure to ease your worries.
Blue Cheese was a strain that was bred from two classic cannabis strains and is making headwaves as a “cult classic” of sorts.

What is Blue Cheese Cannabis?
If you’re fairly new to the wide (and wild) world of cannabis breeding, you may be surprised to know that there are in fact truckles (cheese joke) of cheese strains available for consumption.
The Blue Cheese strain resulted from a cross between the famous and very popular Blueberry strain and the UK Cheese strain cultivated in the 1990s.
The Blue Cheese strain retains the potency and uplifting effects that are provided by the Blueberry strain while also having the skunky qualities of a classic cheese strain.
These elements combine to make for an excellent cannabis experience as the Blue Cheese strain has been cited as an go-to for long time users seeking relaxation and relief in the evenings.
Blue Cheese Review : Flavor, smell, appearance
The flavor and smell are what make Blue Cheese such a unique strain as the cultivators were able to give Blue Cheese its sweet berry smell from the Blueberry strain while also adding in a more creamy, savory taste provided from the UK Cheese strain.
It is this combination that makes Blue Cheese such an endearing choice for many users.
Flavor
Hints of cheddar and a mineral, earthy taste are the first sensations that are noted from Blue Cheese.
This is followed by the sweet unmistakable berry taste of blueberry and it is this combination that makes the strain a true one of a kind.
This is a flavor that will be different for users not used to cheese strains, but the flavor of Blue Cheese certainly is worth trying.
Smell
This is the aspect of Blue Cheese that could take some acclimating to as the same could be said of many fine cheeses found around the world.
The smell is a great dichotomy of elements, at first sweet and berrylike, but also simultaneously sharp and musky.
Blue Cheese is a true aroma creator as there aren’t many strains that combine such contrasting elements.
Appearance
The Blue Cheese strain also has a bluish-purple hue that makes the buds seem to glisten with anticipation.
Mind and body effects of Blue Cheese
Blue Cheese is a classic indica as it provides feelings of happiness and contentment while also leaving users relaxed and sleepy.
Blue Cheese is more of a nighttime strain as its potency has the potential to put you to sleep after a few tokes.
Some users have noted that they have felt feelings of creativity and mental stimulation with Blue Cheese, so it is possible to find a more sativa dominant hybrid that will give those feelings as cannabis is known to affect everyone differently.
But the majority of users are taken with Blue Cheese’s ability to wipe away the cares and worries of the day while also providing a unique aroma to bask in when unwinding.
Possible medical benefits of Blue Cheese
Blue Cheese has been noted in being very effective at dealing with the everyday pains of life.
These aches and pains are different for everyone as many people use cannabis as a relief from physical pains while others use cannabis to provide a relief from more mental uneasiness or discomfort.
Whatever is ailing you, the chances are good that Blue Cheese will be able to provide a respite from your worries or provide comfort for bodily discomfort that may be going on with you.
Many users have also noted that Blue Cheese is effective in dealing with insomnia as it is likely to cause you to become very sleepy after partaking.
Review of Blue Cheese side effects
We have noted that Blue Cheese can make users feel very sleepy, and one of the potential side effects that can accompany sleepiness is feelings of dizziness.
Other possible side effects that have been noted include dry mouth and dry eyes and these side effects appear to be common with other Cheese Cannabis strains.
Blue Cheese Review
Much like the flavor that inspired this unique strain, Blue Cheese Cannabis seems to have formed a sort of cult because of its inspired crossbreeding.
By taking the classic indica strain Blueberry and combining it with the creativity and distinctiveness of a cheese strain, we are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to seek out a one of a kind cannabis experience.
It is possible that, much like blue cheese, this strain will not be for everyone as maybe the smell will be too pungent for users with a more sensitive pallet.
But the feelings of relaxation and contentment that Blue Cheese elicits makes this strain a definite must try.
Blue Cheese is great for dealing with feelings of anxiety or uneasiness both in the mind and in the body, and Blue Cheese also is a great choice for those of us that have a bit of difficulty falling asleep at night.
Overall this seems like a strain that may take some getting used to, but once that happens this will be a tough strain not to return to in the future.
