Medical Conditions Layer Cake Can Help
Marijuana can help people live a better quality of life by helping them overcome certain medical conditions or at least making them manageable. The long-term impacts of marijuana are very minimal when compared to long-term medication that could have huge side effects when it is stopped. Layer Cake can help with the following medical conditions:
- Anxiety
- Chronic Pain
- Cramps
- Depression
- Mood Swings
- Stress
The misconception that some people have is that CBD is the only compound that has medical benefits. THC also has medical benefits but has been demonized by politicians as it makes a consumer high. Consulting a doctor before going off of any medication is imperative. Making the switch to cannabis is one that people rarely regret.

Layer cake strain price on average is $10-$15 per gram, $45-63 per 1/8th oz, $96-$112 per 1/4 oz, and $200-$216 per 1/2 oz.
