We love it when a product goes against type, and that's exactly what you're in for with this Caramel Cake flower from Grown Rogue. It's a softer take on a sativa strain that will have you questioning your assumptions about the whole indica/sativa dichotomy in the first place. It's a three-way cross between AK-47, Alaskan Thunder Fuck, and Cherry Pie, all notorious heavyweights on their own. You would think that if you had those three on hand, you wouldn't need anything fancier, but Grown Rogue takes their craft seriously. This is a whole that's greater than the sum of its parts. Sometimes sativa-leaning strains can make you feel wired up or unsettled, but Caramel Cake is not like that at all. It's one of those great white whale strains—a calming sativa. It's a super delicious smoke, too—like a pineapple upside down cake with extra caramel drizzle. Caramel Cake does double duty by chilling you out and motivating you at the same time. It's like that feeling when you suddenly notice the sun has come out from behind the clouds because you feel warm and optimistic for the first time today, and you're finally ready to get out to do stuff.
