Lemon Pound Cake
hybridmoderateidentity: high
Lemon Pound Cake sits in the cake family but leans citrus — sweet lemon icing over a buttery, doughy base.

The Story
“Bright lemon and vanilla cake with a faint gas, smooth rather than sharp.”
The nose is bright lemon and vanilla cake with a faint gas, smooth rather than sharp. The high is gentle and even: a small uplift that mellows into easy comfort, fine across the day.
It's a flavour-first strain with moderate, forgiving strength. For lemon-and-cake sweetness without much weight, it's a pleasant, undemanding pick.
