Lemon Kush is a beautiful and powerful cannabis landrace strain from the mountainous Chitral region of Pakistan about 200km north of Peshawar and 250km north east of Kabul. This region produces two primary phenotypes know as Chitral Kush. One, a very colorful often purple strain offered by Ace Seeds, and the Lemon Kush phenotype that predominantly produces a greener foliage and bud. Lemon Kush often produces high levels of the monoterpene Lemonene which gives it its distinct lemon odor and taste. In addition to the medicinal benefits from Lemon Kush’s robust cannabinoid profile, studies show that Lemonene has anti-cancer effects. Limonene increases the levels of liver enzymes involved in detoxifying carcinogens. Limonene seems to promote the Glutathione S-transferase system in the liver and small bowel, thereby decreasing the damaging effects of carcinogens. Other studies demonstrated that dietary limonene reduced mammary tumor growth.

The high level of THC, provides this hybrid strain user with not only the energetic “mind-high” associated with sativa but a high level of CBD associated with the indica offers the Lemon Kush user the typical body sedation and feelings of deep relaxation.

Lemon Kush is a suitable strain for treating anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, muscle spasms and tremors.

The THC and CBD in the Lemon Kush hybrid also work in conjunction to treat chronic pain. CBD has anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic, anti-depressant, anti-psychotic, anti-oxidant, sedative, and immunomodulatory properties; making Lemon Kush a good choice for controlling convulsions, inflammation, anxiety and nausea.
