Lemon Pie strain guide
Lemon Pie is a sativa-leaning hybrid best known from Leafs by Snoop, a cannabis line that started in Colorado. It smells like lemon and diesel with a little spice, and people mostly describe it as energetic and talkative. Its parents are not well documented.
Where does Lemon Pie come from?
Lemon Pie was one of the flower strains in the Leafs by Snoop line, sold through Colorado dispensaries alongside names like Northern Lights. Beyond that, its history is thin.
The parents are not well documented, and the sources that try disagree. One listing names Lemon Skunk and Cherry Pie, while the same page elsewhere calls it a cross of Skunk #1 and Amnesia Haze. Neither claim is confirmed by a breeder, so we've left the lineage blank. Other strains with "lemon" and "pie" in their names, like Lemon Cherry Pie, are separate plants.
What does Lemon Pie smell and taste like?
Lemon leads, as you'd hope. Reviewers describe bright lemon and citrus with diesel on both the inhale and exhale, and some notice a spicy, nutty finish. One reviewer compared the taste to lemon candy.
Published terpene data puts myrcene first, then caryophyllene and terpinolene. Myrcene gives an earthy base, caryophyllene a peppery bite and terpinolene a fresh, fruity lift.
Lemon Pie effects: what people report
People most often call Lemon Pie energetic, uplifted and talkative, and many mention feeling focused, happy or creative. It's generally treated as a daytime strain, with some reviewers noting a relaxed feel as it winds down.
These are reports, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, the amount and your tolerance. Feeling anxious is the most common complaint, along with dry eyes and dry mouth, and one reviewer mentioned a headache.
How strong is Lemon Pie?
The published numbers are all over the place. One listing gives about 11% THC, another 18%, and the same page that lists 18% says testing has shown over 22%. That suggests a moderate to fairly strong strain, with a lot of variation between batches and very little CBD.
With figures that spread out, the label on your product matters even more than usual. Start small and give it time. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what to check.
Buying Lemon Pie in Canada
Because Lemon Pie's history is thin, a product with this name could be a different plant from the one described here. If the producer lists parents or terpenes, those will tell you more than the name.
Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since lemon-forward flower loses its brightness as it ages.
Lemon Pie vs Lemon Skunk
Lemon Skunk is named as a parent in one listing, but that isn't confirmed, so treat them as close in smell rather than proven family. Lemon Skunk is a well-documented sativa-leaning strain from DNA Genetics, known for a sharp lemon and skunk smell and a happy, upbeat feel. Lemon Pie trades some of that skunk for diesel and spice, and reviews lean more energetic and chatty. If you want a lemon strain with a clear history, go with Lemon Skunk. If lemon and diesel sounds better, try Lemon Pie.
