About Lemon Meringue

Lemon Meringue is a sativa-leaning strain that comes from a cross of Lemon Skunk with Cookies. You may also see it sold as Lemon Meringue Pie. People who try it most often describe feeling energetic, uplifted and creative.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 160 flower samples tested between 2020 and 2023 came in at a median of 21.1% total THC (the middle half ranged from 16.8% to 24.8%). CBD is typically negligible (under 0.5%). That is in line with most flower on Canadian shelves. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.

Aroma, flavour and terpenes

In lab tests its dominant terpene is myrcene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Myrcene is known for earthy, musky notes with a ripe-fruit edge, while pinene adds sharp, fresh pine. Total terpene content measured a median of 1.5%. Consumers most often describe the flavour as lemon, citrus and vanilla.

Reported effects

Beyond feeling energetic, reviewers also mention feeling talkative and focused. Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with depression, stress and anxiety. The side effects mentioned most are headaches, anxiety and dry eyes. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
