Kief – UK Cheese – Indica

Buy Kief – UK Cheese – Indica at Ganja West Online Dispensary Shop

Kief – UK Cheese – Indica, as it’s also known, is perhaps the most famous marijuana strain to emerge from the British Isles. It is still more popular in the UK than anywhere else, although its fame has spread to many other parts of the world. English farmers created this strain by inbreeding Skunk #1, a sativa-dominant hybrid.

UK Cheese itself is indica-dominant, with a sativa/indica ratio of 20:80, but the effects are balanced, delivering both a head and body high. It’s a potent strain, with THC levels topping out at about 20%, and it’s known to hit fast and hard. The effects are intensely euphoric, with an upbeat, happy mood, some laziness, and a dose of creativity. Best used to treat pain and stress, UK Cheese is also an effective way to alleviate insomnia and depression. CBD levels are low, less than 1%, so this isn’t a good choice for patients with seizures or other disorders that respond to CBD. Cottonmouth and dry eyes are common side effects, and paranoia, headaches, and dizziness are also reported. Fittingly, this strain smells and tastes like cheese, with a pungent earthy aroma.

What is Kief?

To begin, kief refers to the trichomes of cannabis that may accumulate in grinders. Kief contains a higher concentration of cannabinoids. Traditionally, kief has been pressed into hashish for convenience in storage. After the kief is collected, it is heated and pressurized which turns into hashish. Lastly, it can also be vaporized or smoked.

Kief is usually darker than trichomes, ranging from gold to brown. It’s a powdery substance that is somewhat sticky, though less so than trichomes on a bud.

How to Use Kief

Now that you have a pile of kief, what to do with it?

First, potency can increase with a dusting of kief on top of your bowl. Corner your hits to get the most, which entails burning a quadrant of the bowl at a time. We want to point out that kief burns very quickly. As a result, we recommend spacing it over the outer lining of your bowl to ensure it burns longer. Otherwise, you’ll end up wasting it.

Next, pepper your cannabis with a pinch of kief. The extra trichomes should stick to the ground leaves, adding potency to your joint.

For a more advanced experience, dampen the outside of your joint with a lick. Then, roll the top 1/3 of the joint in kief. This kief-coated joint is often call a “twaxed” joint.

Also, Cannabutter has many uses, and you can add kief to it to boost potency. Remember to mix the kief in with the flower when you decarboxylate it.
