Background
The story
“Lemon and mint over a spicy, herbal base.”
The nose is bright and clean: lemon and mint over a spicy, herbal base. The effect is up and creative — an energetic, clear, talkative head with little body, a daytime classic.
It's terpy and moderate, a piece of cannabis history. For old-world lemon-Thai sativa, this is a flavourful heritage strain.
