Its popularity has since faded dramatically, but it remains an effective tool for treating muscle spasms and chronic pain.

LA Kush Cake, also known as “Los Angeles Kush Cake,” is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the delicious Wedding Cake X Kush Mints strain.

The LA Kush Cake is much like its parent strains, combining deliciously creamy vanilla cake with touches of spicy mint and sour citrusy kush.
