Papaya Cake

Papaya Cake is named for papaya but tastes of lemon and citrus.

It is Papaya crossed with Wedding Cake, a very potent indica, with menu numbers up to 30 percent and a lab sample near 21. The high lifts bright and citrusy first, then the body takes a heavy, head-spinning turn. The papaya is not in the flavor data.

Lemon, not papaya.

Papaya Cake opens with a bright, citrusy, uplifting lift, then the body sinks into a heavy relaxation that several sources call head-spinning. Leafly's reviewers lead with relaxed at 51 percent of a solid sample, with happiness and a euphoric quality in the low forties and sleepiness at 25. The second half carries the weight.

The reviewer negatives are unusually low, almost everything sitting near 2 percent, which for a strain this potent is more a thin record than a clean bill. Start with a small dose given the numbers.

Papaya Cake smells of lemon and sour citrus with an earthy, tropical, spicy base. The flavor keeps the lemon-citrus and the sour edge. Despite the name, there is no distinct papaya note in the recorded data.

Papaya Cake's measured panel is led by Limonene, from about 0.3 to 0.5 percent, with Linalool and Pinene behind and Caryophyllene low.

Limonene explains the lemon on the nose. The tropical papaya the name promises is not on the panel. It barely turns up in the flavor list either, so it is at most a faint note from lighter compounds outside the standard test. A jar with a sharp lemon-citrus smell is the one true to what is actually here.

Papaya Cake THC is claimed as high as 30 percent on menus, with the lab-measured sample in our data near 21, so it tests strong without hitting the top claim. It is a high-potency indica. CBD is a trace.

Papaya Cake tests in the low twenties despite 30 percent menu numbers, so plan for strong, not extreme.
