Dosing

Due to its potent THC content, it’s advised to dose Wedding Cake carefully, especially for users prone to anxiety or paranoia. For inhalation, start with a single puff and wait about 10 minutes before redosing. When consumed as an edible, start with a low dose—typically 2.5-5 mg of THC—to avoid overly intense effects.

When inhaling, beginners should limit themselves to one or two puffs with a short waiting period in between. For edibles, starting with a 2.5-5 mg dose is ideal, as this method can result in a prolonged and stronger psychoactive experience.

While Wedding Cake can be grown outdoors, it requires a warm, sunny, and moderately humid climate, typically found in tropical or subtropical regions.
