Lineage and History
Lemon Meringue is a potent, full-flavored sativa created by inventive breeders Exotic Genetix. This strain combines the genetics of Lemon Skunk and Cookies and Cream, resulting in a bud that’s a treat for the eyes as well as the palate.
Best Use
The high from Lemon Meringue kicks in fairly quickly, sometimes striking users before they’ve even finished coughing on its thick smoke. At first, it can exert head-focused effects like a constricted “headband”-like feeling around the temples and lower forehead. After those sensations die down, users may find themselves in an elevated headspace where ideas may take on a new intensity. As this high wears on, its activated and energetic mood tends to persist. While smokers may experience some mild relaxation or relief from muscular tension, they aren’t typically incapacitated by these physical sensations.
Lemon Meringue’s dynamic high can also be useful to medical cannabis patients. Its cerebral edge can help those with ADD to focus better on one task at a time and its steady feelings of euphoria can help alleviate some symptoms of stress and depression. On the physical end of the spectrum, Lemon Meringue can also soothe aches and pains, whether it’s temporary injury or chronic conditions like COPD or lupus. Its anti-inflammatory properties can even lessen the severity of common discomforts like nausea or cramps. Lemon Meringue’s sense of mind race can be disorienting in the wrong set and setting and may not be the best option for patients who are prone to panic or paranoia.
Taste/Aroma
An initial inspection of buds will register the strong scent of citrus, while a deeper whiff may pick up an overly fruity, almost fermented aroma. Breaking apart or grinding up these flowers yields a pungent tang that likely passed on from grandparent strain Skunk. When combusted in a pipe or a joint, Lemon Meringue burns with a heavy, sour smoke that’s liable to cause a coughing fit or watery eyes, but has a sweet, lemony flavor on the exhale.
Potency
Lemon Meringue’s high offers energy and mental acuity, with THC content measured between 18% and a surging 28%.
