Introducing Lemon Kush: A Balanced Hybrid with Creative Potential

Lemon Kush is a balanced hybrid strain, a mix of both indica and sativa varieties. It has a unique citrus and peppery taste, making it a popular choice for social gatherings or simply to enjoy on your own. This strain has been bred by Alien Genetics (Alien Kush) by crossing Lemon G and Afghan Kush, and is also available as a cross between Master Kush and Lemon Joy. Cannabis testing lab Analytics 360 has measured Lemon Kush as having THC levels between 15-26%, offering a moderate yet potent psychoactive experience.

Aroma and Flavour

Lemon Kush has tight, dense buds that are smaller than average, with light green leaves and a heavy coating of trichomes that give off a sweet and smooth lemon scent. When broken up, the buds have Kush-like notes of dank earth and musk, creating a balanced citrusy profile. When smoked, Lemon Kush has a notable harshness that expands in the lungs, but with an aftertaste that is tangy and citrusy - without any ammonia or diesel taste.

Effects

The high from Lemon Kush can take up to 10 minutes to fully appreciate, with enhanced cerebral focus and an increase in creativity. It provides a clearheaded feeling, freeing you up to go about errands or household chores like cleaning. The body buzz of this strain is gentle, reducing the likelihood of cannabis-induced anxiety or paranoia. Lemon Kush also has physical benefits, providing relief from headaches and anxiety. Less desirable effects include cottonmouth.

Medical Benefits

The terpene d-limonene is responsible for the lemony scent and taste of Lemon Kush. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and is used industrially to enhance fragrances. Test tube trials have suggested that d-limonene has anti-inflammatory properties and may help to fight cancer, as well as relief acid reflux.
