Whether we're talking about cheese or cannabis, this is an acquired taste, but one that many aficionados actively seek out. It's also worth noting that cheese strains are not suitable if you live somewhere where you need to conceal your smoking habits; the smell of this weed is instantly recognizable and nigh on impossible to mask.
Cheese is almost unique amongst modern marijuana strains as it was created in England, as opposed to most others which hail from the Netherlands, the USA or Canada. The credit for Cheese weed goes to a shadowy group of outlaws and freewheelers called the Exodus Collective who ran underground dance parties in the 1990s.
