Layer Cake is an Indica-dominant hybrid marijuana strain. It is cultivated by many different cultivators. However, its origin can be attributed to Swamp Boys Seeds. The Layer Cake strain has four parent strains. These are Triangle Kush, Skunk, GMO, and Wedding Cake. The first two are crossed at the beginning, and then the resulting strain is crossed with GMO and then with Wedding Cake. This complex layering is what gives the strain its name.
Wishing more people with depression would branch out into medicinal cannabis instead of other hospital prescribed drugs. I felt like such a shell on those anti-depressants. At least with Layer Cake i know the side effects are uplifted moods and a general sense of joy. There are others that may experience the worser kind with diziness and dry eyes but i promise they're not as bad as anti-depressant side effects.

Wishing more people with depression would branch out into medicinal cannabis instead of other hospital prescribed drugs. I felt like such a shell on those anti-depressants. At least with Layer Cake i know the side effects are uplifted moods and a general sense of joy. There are others that may experience the worser kind with diziness and dry eyes but i promise they're not as bad as anti-depressant side effects.
i will never get used to that buzzing and tingling effect that spreads your high all over the body. This one kind of starts in the head and then buzzes through your entire body spreading some needed euphoria. If you are not keen you'll find yourself dancing along to the music in your head in public which come to think of it is not a bad thing.
its surprising that i can fully focus on a single task after smoking this weed. it doesn't even matter if it is a bowl or in blunts.
Best fit for experienced users due to its high THC content of 25%
I dore layer cake because its pungent smell reminds me of cheese
I hate smoking but layer cake gives me an opportunity to take it through edibles. It gives me a full body relaxation effect with some feeling of euphoria. So if you feel a little anxious and you need to relax, layer cake is there go for it.
Have you tried staying focused in a world full of distractions? For me I did but was damn difficult as I couldn't concentrated for as long as I wanted. Tried reenergiizng, taking rid of distractions but all was in vain.This thing is damn focus medicinal thing. Can't explain how I got focused after taking it and the motivation received
Have always resistd taking sativa because of the bad picture painted by people out here. Recently, decided to be daring and what landed on my table was layer cake. This flower knocked out pain I had. What i experienced also is the kind of sleep that approached as a thief couldn't see it coming.
The taste of this marijuana is what makes me want to tkae it every now and then. The spicy and sweet like taste makes my joints so weak. It finishes me completely ahhaa. Besides that, I like this wed cause of the kind of happiness it gives me. I feel like am on the top of the world
