For this review, I will share with you my experience using Space Cake Strain, which is from Color Cannabis. It’s an Indica-dominant hybrid sold as a high-THC strain.

When someone mentions space cake, the first thing that often comes to mind is a THC-rich edible that can make you high. In this Space Cake Strain review, however, we’re talking about a specific cannabis bud, which I recently had the pleasure of smoking.

  • Type: Hybrid
  • Potency: High THC, low CBD (exact numbers vary by batch)
  • Terpene Profile: Beta-myrcene, limonene, beta-caryophyllene, linalool (as labeled)
  • Packaging Details: Packaged on 12/16/2022, tested and reviewed on 12/28/2022 (12 days later)
  • Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $27.51 at The Ontario Cannabis Store ($7.86 per gram)

A note on numbers: THC and CBD percentages and terpene profiles vary by grower and batch, so treat the details here as one sample and check the label on the product you buy. We could not confirm Space Cake's parent strains on a breeder page, so we don't list a lineage.

This product was bought legally in Canada, where adults can buy from retailers authorized by their province or territory. The minimum age is 19 in most provinces, 18 in Alberta and 21 in Quebec.

In the US, marijuana is still a Schedule I drug under federal law outside narrow 2026 exceptions for FDA-approved and state-licensed medical products, and state laws differ.

Appearance: 4/5

The name itself is already enough to make me try this hybrid. Luckily, I was not disappointed. Let me start by talking about the packaging. It’s in an orange sealed bag with nothing special. After opening it, I was instantly impressed with the small green-shaped buds.

The buds are forest green, but I have also seen purple undertones. Meanwhile, it comes with burnt orange hairs and a trichome coating.

Aroma: 4/5

If you think it looks good, wait until you have the chance to smell it. Once you do, you’ll realize why it’s a favorite of many people. It has bright notes that are dominated by fruits and berries. Sweet and spicy notes are apparent if you smell the buds closely.

There are also cookie-like undertones.

Those who are new to smoking weed, however, may have a slightly hard time figuring out the aroma because it’s complex. If you have a keen nose, it will be easy to be hooked. It is earthy and pungent with traces of sour fuel and nuts.

Flavor: 4.5/5

Unlike the aroma, the flavor is a lot less complicated but equally impressive. It’s reminiscent of spicy nuts and sweet fruits with notes of fresh herbs. I am also reminded of candies, cakes, and cookies, although they’re not as prominent as the flavors earlier mentioned.

Overall, the flavor is slightly sweet.

Effects: 4.5/5

I would like to emphasize in this Space Cake Strain review that it’s an ideal option if you want something to hit at night. The effects start strong, which is ideal for socializing or for playing board games with friends. Eventually, however, it brings a deep state of relaxation.

It’s also quite nostalgic, reminding me of my early days of smoking weed. It’s best enjoyed with friends. After a while, the euphoric energy can transition into near sedation, and this is when you’ll feel stoned. I love that it does not make me feel groggy, so I see no problem even if I smoke it mid-day.

Smoking this strain is such a treat. It’s not heavy on the throat, which contributes to a pleasant overall experience.

Effects differ from person to person, and NIDA notes that anxiety, panic and hallucinations are more likely with strong THC products or large amounts. Start low if you're new.

Overall: 4.5/5

As I have highlighted in this Space Cake Strain review, this hybrid is a great option for adult smokers. Seasoned smokers will enjoy it, and beginners should start with a small amount because it’s strong. The flavor and aroma are also incredible, preparing your body for the euphoria and relaxation that this weed can eventually deliver.

Alternatives

I will definitely try Space Cake again. Nonetheless, if it isn’t available, or if you simply want something with the same quality, below are some alternatives worth looking at:

  • Platinum Gorilla Strain: A treat to the senses; that’s how I will describe this strain. The aroma and flavor are potent, contributing to a long-lasting effect, which will make you look forward to the next time you’re trying it.
  • Animal Face Strain: Earthy, sweet, and minty, this is an excellent alternative if you would rather have a Sativa-dominant strain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should use the Space Cake Strain?

It’s for adults who want to socialize and eventually relax. It isn’t a treatment for appetite loss, chronic pain, anxiety or any other condition; talk with a clinician about medical use. The only cannabis-derived drug the FDA has approved is Epidiolex.

What effects does the Space Cake Strain have?

The Space Cake has a mentally stimulating and relaxing effect. It starts with a euphoric high that gradually transitions into a state of deep relaxation.
