Las Vegas Lemon Skunk is one of the most exceptional sativa leaning hybrid cultivars in the modern spectrum of cannabis that is relatively widespread and fairly easy to find. I wanted to point out a mistake in the most recommended review on Leafly for Lemon Skunk. The review indicates that the name for the cultivar should be changed because it has almost a totally limonene dominant scent and flavor, but that it has no skunk flavor, and thus should have its name changed. Yes, Lemon Skunk has one of the most limonene dominant terpene profiles of all cultivars readily available in the market, which actually makes Lemon Skunk (70/30 sativa dominant) one of the best cultivars for breeding Lemon and sativa leaning effects into new cultivars. The reason Lemon Skunk is called Lemon Skunk is because it is a very rare genotype of Skunk #1 that was discovered in the early 2000s in Las Vegas from a pack of Sam the Skunkman Skunk #1. Other rare Skunk #1 genotypes with higher than average limonene concentrations have been found, but none like the Skunk #1 Las Vegas Lemon Skunk cut, which went on to become its own unique seeded cultivar (Lemon Skunk), by DNA Genetics by working with the clone only Las Vegas Lemon Skunk. Thus, it doesn’t matter that Lemon Skunk has hardly any skunk terpenes, the name comes from the origin of this extremely rare and crucial cultivar, which has gone on to be the parent to some of the most well known 🍋 strains in the history of cannabis breeding, and continues to be a crucial cultivar - both for the breeding of new cultivars and for its own numerous merits. The considerations that go into the naming of any particular cultivar are many and diverse, and do not always come from the terpene profile of a cultivar alone, but as Lemon Skunk shows, can also be representative of its origins, and not merely it’s general characteristics.

Classic fire strain, I love this and Lemon Haze. I find the energizing effect is more in the head than the body with Lemon Skunk, it has a good body high too that will leave you couch locked. While your mind will feel active Got me on a good level of stoned and goofy

This is my first ever weed review. But there's something amazing about this strain that I just had to mention. I've had a bad case of fibromyalgia since 1998. For some reason, this winter, its been acting up worse than it has in over a decade. Add to that, extreme arthritis throughout my spine, hands, etc., and other pain problems, all of which have been exacerbating my depression. This Lemon Skunk not only hits really fast, but kills all that pain - ESPECIALLY the fibromyalgia! Nothing has EVER killed the pain of fibromyalgia before. I've been on some pretty wicked pain killers for years and all they do is take the edge off. Drinking helps, but I really can't and don't want to do that all the time. This Lemon Skunk relaxes me and calms me, my muscles, and my brain down, and the next thing I know, I really don't hurt much at all unless provoked. While I eventually get a good sleep on it, unfortunately, (or not, I guess it depends on what you're looking for,) it definitely does not PUT me to sleep. On the other hand, it doesn't make me temporarily any smarter either, because I'm not capable of performing any tasks that require thinking. When I say it relaxes me, I mean it relaxes ALL of me, but keeps me awake. And, while the powerful impact doesn't last very long, it continues to operate at a lower rate (pain control and relaxation) for at LEAST a couple of hours As far as taste and smell go, I don't really detect any lemon, but other than that, all I can say is that I've always loved all tastes and all smells of flower, so I'm no connoisseur when it comes to that. I've never met a flower that I didn't enjoy the smell of and I can't honestly say that anything stands out to me here.

I'm a relative newbie to medical cannabis; however, I am a lifelong victim of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and my brain is wired differently. My ADD has a HUGE impact on how weed affects my reaction. I have been curious if I might have an opposite reaction, since those with ADD can use methamphetamine drugs as a way to chill out or relax or calm the busy soundtrack going on in our heads. Lemon Skunk kicked my ass on first sampling. It did NOT come on suddenly as reported by others, so beware my fellow ADD sufferers against believing every review on this platform. It stalked me like a cougar and it refused to manifest itself after taking two deep hits on my Pax3 herb vaporizer. After 5 minutes, I took two more hits; and then two final hits after waiting another 5 minutes. I stood up and thought the floor would give way. Both legs felt like rubber (in a good way) and my chronic knee pain seemed to melt away; however, I heard someone calling my name. It was my comfy bedroom and in minutes I was out like someone had given me an elephant tranquilizer. It didn't move for 3 hours. Even my wife was quite surprised since my naps NEVER last more than 45-60 minutes. I have fully loaded my Pax3 so I have enough flower to vape every 3-4 hours (during waking hours) for the next two days. I will post how I settle into Lemon Skunk, but so far I'm liking the hell out of it.
