LA Cake is a spicy cross between LA Kush and Gorilla Glue #4. The high is titanic, like wrestling a warm, herb-flavored gorilla in your brain. While you’re camping among tall, smelly pines. And talking about your feelings.

LA Cake will bring the sleep out of you, making you feel tingly, de-stressed, settled, and sleepy. Those who crave THC flock to LA Cake, a strain that can reach up to a numbing 26%. For balanced hybrids, this is a mainstay strain for before-bed users, at least for the people who can handle it.

Many people wonder what breed they should use for their medicinal cannabis – LA Cake is one easy answer. It was bred by Los Angeles Kush for their Southern Californian users and works at just about any time of day to relieve pain and stress. However, we tend to think evening usage will fit it best since it does have a sedating quality.

The plant itself has dark olive nugs, long and dense, packed tightly onto the colas like elongated puffs of popcorn. The amber-colored trichomes lay over them like a thick layer of snow, with spindly amber hairs poking out here and there.

(A note for growers: Los Angeles Kush doesn’t readily give out their seeds to growers, so if you find LA Cake seeds, they’re most likely clones.) The effect of LA Cake is immediately heavy, numbing, warm and tingling. The effect is very sedating as the sensations move throughout your body. Assuming you’re not Jessica Jones, you’ll be feeling the sedation in your head as your pain and stress seem to fade away. Mood swings, headaches, fatigue, and migraines are like vapor before your awesome cake-like powers.

The LA Cake aroma is pungent-beautiful. It’s like a whiff of fresh pine as a lift. Then it’s a smack of heavy fuel as a comedown. There’s sourness, earthiness, and even sweetness. You’ll feel elated and relaxed to be breathing it in, serene and uplifted. The exhale is deeply herbal, spicy, and packed with the taste of diesel.

This strain is a slam of sedation for anyone’s evening ritual. Or maybe you want an afternoon nap after a stressful Skype meeting? For lazy weekends, LA Cake could be an all-day kind of strain, the kind that lingers like the smell of a camping trip in the atmosphere of your bedroom. But for those who still have things to do, LA Cake should be a special treat for weekends and evenings. It’s skilled in coercion when it comes to your sleep schedule. Best be ready for it.
