About Lemon Skunk

Lemon Skunk is a hybrid strain. You may also see it sold as Lemon Skunk OG. People who try it most often describe feeling energetic, happy and uplifted.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 115 flower samples tested between 2020 and 2023 came in at a median of 22.1% total THC (the middle half ranged from 19.7% to 24.9%). 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 limonene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene. Limonene is known for bright citrus-peel freshness, while myrcene adds earthy, musky notes with a ripe-fruit edge. Total terpene content measured a median of 1.9%. Consumers most often describe the flavour as lemon, skunk and citrus.

Reported effects

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