Where Cheeseburger Comes From
Cheeseburger is linked to Cannasol Farms in Omak, in Washington’s Okanogan region. The description says its heritage is long and mysterious and that the strain was entrusted to Cannasol to preserve it. No parent strains are documented. One Leafly reviewer says their cut was Grape n’ Cream crossed with Donny Burger, but that describes one grower’s version, not the strain overall.
Leafly lists Alien Burger as an offspring, and other growers sell their own Cheeseburger cuts, so jars can differ.
Cheeseburger Effects: What It Feels Like
The listing calls Cheeseburger indica-dominant, but Leafly readers most often report energetic, creative and tingly effects, and the page rates it mostly energizing. This mismatch is common with local cuts, so judge by your own batch.
Reported THC is around 17%, with outlier claims of far higher. Start small.
Cheeseburger Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Flavors are listed as cheese, coffee and grape. Leafly’s terpene data puts terpinolene first, followed by myrcene and pinene, but a single report from one producer’s batch should not be treated as definitive for every cut.
- Terpinolene: fruity, piney and herbal, common in classic sativas
- Myrcene: earthy, musky and herbal, also found in mango and hops
- Pinene: fresh pine, also found in pine needles and rosemary
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
