Thai Weed grown in Thailand.

The Story Behind London Pound Cake

London Pound Cake was bred by Cookies Fam co-founder Jigga, the same team responsible for Runtz, Gelato, and some of the most influential strains of the past decade. The confirmed mother is Sunset Sherbet, itself a descendant of Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties. The father remains a deliberate mystery. Cookies Fam has never publicly revealed the second parent, but the consensus points to a heavy indica that amplifies the dessert flavour and body-dominant effects.

London Pound Cake quickly became one of the most sought-after strains in the Cookies catalogue. The dessert-forward terpene profile, combined with THC levels regularly pushing past 25%, made it a staple on top-shelf menus across California and beyond. Some classify it as a GSC phenotype, though the breeding history suggests it is more accurately a distinct cross. This Thai-grown version captures the rich, bakery-sweet character that earned the strain its reputation.

The Nose

Dessert in a jar. A thick sweet aroma rolls out the moment you open the bag, like frosted cake batter left out on the counter. Berry follows immediately, dark and ripe, almost like crushed blackberries. Then grape adds a wine-like depth, rich and slightly tart. Vanilla smooths everything out with a warm, bakery softness. The creamy undertone ties it all together. Caryophyllene contributes a subtle peppery backbone that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. Limonene adds a faint citrus lift, while Myrcene brings the earthy depth you expect from a Cookies strain. The buds are dark purple and forest green, compact and heavy, glazed with trichomes that shimmer under light.

The Smoke

Decadent. The inhale is pure grape and berry, sweet and jammy, like biting into a slice of pound cake with berry compote. The smoke is thick and velvety, coating the entire mouth. On the exhale, vanilla and creamy richness linger, leaving a dessert-like aftertaste that makes you want another pull. The sweet profile stays consistent from first hit to last, with the berry notes deepening as the joint burns shorter. Slow, even burn with dense smoke that hangs in the air.

The High

It opens with a pleasant euphoric lift that brightens the mood and softens the world around you. Happy contentment settles in quickly, making everything feel right. Then deep relaxation begins rolling through the body, starting at the temples and working down through the limbs. A calming weight builds steadily, and the body high takes full control by the twenty-minute mark. At 25-28% THC, London Pound Cake does not hold back. One of those strains where you start a movie and never find out how it ends.
