About Lemon Meringue
Lemon Meringue is a sativa bred by Exotic Genetix from Lemon Skunk and Cookies and Cream. It has become a favorite with growers and shoppers in both the United States and Canada, where its bright lemon profile stands out on crowded menus. Some dispensaries list it as Lemon Meringue Pie.
Expect a zesty lemon aroma backed by a creamy, sugary sweetness that really does recall the pie it is named after. Buds tend to be light green, chunky and coated in sticky trichomes with plenty of orange pistils. Limonene drives the citrus punch, myrcene adds a soft fruity roundness, and caryophyllene contributes a subtle peppery edge.
People often report feeling energetic, uplifted and happy with Lemon Meringue, which makes it a common daytime choice for errands, chores or social plans. THC usually ranges from 17% to 24%, and CBD is typically under 1%.
Lemon Meringue suits people who want a cheerful, active sativa with a dessert-style flavor, though sensitive consumers may find larger amounts too stimulating. Start low, go slow, and give it time to build. Use WhereLeaf to find Lemon Meringue at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
