This strain has been underrated. It is incredible. A combo of something tasty and pungent like.
Happy happy hour! Time to get high with ICC. The perfect strain for me
Thumps up @ seed junky genetics. I’m no junky but this ice cream cake hella cool dude.
Superb strain for beginners like myself. I like it! Body buzz and relaxation are out of this world.
Nope, ICC is not for me. Just tried it for the first time and I do not like it all. Of course, you get high off it but the effect doesn’t last. I try to kill my anxiety with it and a few minutes later it was back with a bang. So disappointed
You got to try this stuff! It’s amazing. I like it better in the evenings when I’m all beat and exhausted. It has just the right amount of THC for the high effect. No better way to end your evening than this.
A couple of one hitters of this and it’s one of the nicest head and body high combinations I have had in a long time. Very euphoric, very tingly and smiley. The buds are a dark green with dark purple and full of trichomes. The smoothness of this smoke is something else. You feel nothing on the inhale or exhale which makes for a really pleasant experience. Pain seems to be melted away with the Ice Cream Cake strain. Very gassy smell mixed with earthy, nutty, and milky hints. Overall I am impressed. Smell - 8/10 Looks 9/10 Effects 9.5/10 Smoke 10/10 Total 9/10
First time trying this. My roomate brought home a "bag of buds" ie; ice cream cake. Its 24% thc and one of the best strains yet. I looked at the amazing buds under my very bright tiny little lamp. The colors are insane and the glistening inside. I am blown away by this strain. Time for another joint. HAPPY4:20!!
I just started smoking at the age of 50 and I'm 52 all because of fibromyalgia, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis and a blood disorder that I was born with. I used to be on so many opiates that I fell into a coma. I did a lot of research on medical marijuana and then I started doing c b d because I was in the pain clinic. Then one day one of my sons was sitting on the porch with me and he was smoking the real weed and I was smoking CBD cigarettes. He said mom hit this, and I did. I got up and I started walking I let go of my cane and from that day I started smoking marijuana. I went to the doctor and told them that I did not want any more steroids in my back neither did I want their opiates anymore. Started doing yoga eating right and smoking different strands of marijuana for my pain in my body and now I walk 3 miles a day I Do by yoga and I am a pescatarian. This particular marijuana is my favorite of all of them I give it a five-star.
awesome taste and kick
Ct med marijuana laws dictate that strains be “renamed so as not to appeal to minors”. As a result, I grabbed 1/2 of ICC when I was shooting for sunset sherbet. Glad I did! I love all things Cookie, and this strain doesn’t disappoint! For my hard head, this is an excellent anytime strain, including wake and bake. 4 hits then 2 every couple of hours-I’m good to go.
Tantalizing euphoric experience every time
First time trying ice cream cake for my horrible neuropathy in my feet. It’s given me good relief for almost an hour. I’ll take it!
Age - 66yrs old, have been smoking pot for 50+ years. Took about 3 hits from a pipe and had a groovy head high within 5-10 minutes afterwards. Maybe a tad dizzy, when standing I had no stagger but maybe a little swagger. Kicked back in my recliner watching the flatscreen feeling very relaxed now after about 30-45 mins. Would buy it again because this stuff is swell!
Soon as I started smoking Ice Cream Cake, I noticed a drastic reduction in my appetite, resulting in significant weight loss, which is welcome since I have struggled with weight my entire life. Fortunately, its other effects of a full body relaxing high and significant pain reduction make this strain almost the ideal one for me.
I just started smoking again after 12 years and holy moly has weed changed! Last time I smoked, you just got whatever was available on the street. Anyway, after smoking some really low percentage indica (11%) for about a week, I decided to try to the Ice cream cake strain and it does not disappoint! I kept hitting the pipe because I didn't feel anything straight away, but once it caught up, it was a really nice, smooth, relaxing high. I have incredible anxiety issues, and if I can smoke weed without getting anxious, I know it's a good one for me. This is like taking a Xanax but then also getting a nice head high (if you smoke enough of it). Someone said this isn't a good strain for beginners (or in my case, someone who hasn't smoked in over a decade), but I would say this is great for beginners... especially those who are scared to try weed for fear of becoming anxious. As a side note, I feel I can better concentrate on music, movies, and people on this strain.

This article is cold ;)
Telling the truth, I felt dizzy just a little, but not for a long time. This strain isn’t bad, I liked its flowery taste, I found it even special. I think I need try more tastes to compare

One of my all-time favorite hybrids. Extremely strong and psychoactive, one spliff is enough!
Best weekend high by me
The taste is amazing, and the smell is fresh and doesn't linger on for too long. The high is just out of this world, it twists your brain and gets you though a time warp before you reach the absolute bliss.
Made my brain pumping!
It's so chill and tasty
It's just as if someone just hit the brakes and everything stops.
Real rollercoaster this one!

One of the strongest weeds I've tried. Interesting flavor, reminds of vanilla ice cream.
Takes the edge off in a puff!
Like getting high on Ice cream
Way to strong for a daily use. I prefer strains this strong during the night.
Powerful and Tasty
One of the best trips ever! Extremely potent weed, keeps you high for hours.
One of my favorite Hybrids
Best weed for movie nights
I'm not that into sweets, but it was fun getting stoned on vanilla.
My absolute favorite
One of the most powerful strains I've ever tried. Great platform for a night out!
Really enjoyed this pot! Sweet and strong as hell!
Amazing flavor and very intense trip. One spliff and I was high as a kite for hours.
It's one of the best strains for weekends! I like to start my day with it and just lie on my couch watching TV. I was laughing at Adam Sandler's movie, nuff said!
I love vanilla flavor and I love pot. Therefore, I adore Ice Cream Cake!
Ice Cream Cake is one of the strongest strains I've had the chance to taste. It's so potent that it takes no more than 2-3 puffs to get you all pumped up and tingling. I like to roll it up before I go out because it sets me in the mood. Also, the smell of vanilla lingers on for so long afterwards it's like I've lit a dozen scented candles in the room.
The first time I’ve had ICK I couldn’t believe how strong this weed is. It took me 4-5 puffs to get so stoned I couldn’t move. After a while I was able to get myself together as much as possible and enjoy the ride, which was amazing. I was laughing and scrolling memes for hours. The aroma and taste are beyond this world, it’s like you’re actually smoking vanilla sticks.
I love to get home from work, fill my bath with hot water and my pipe with Ice Cream Cake. It’s the best ending to a long day, I can relax and let my thoughts wonder around while enjoying the sweet taste of vanilla ice cream. It’s also great for weekend home cleaning sessions, I just crank up the volume, get in the zone, and nothing gets me distracted!
