Lemon DD

Lemon DD is a mysterious strain with very little information about it in the public domain. It is very difficult to lay your hands on Lemon DD strains or products. However, when you do, you will have no regrets for having waited for too long. The only disclaimer is this; Lemon DD is a pungent strain that may put off new users.

Lemon DD is also known as Chem DD; it is an indica leaning hybrid strain that is a cross between the popular Chemdawg and Sour Diesel IBL strain. It contains 60% indica genetics and 40% sativa genetics.

Lemon DD has a characteristic lemon ammonia-like scent that can fill up the room once a jar is opened. You will also be able to pick out a tad diesel with hints of tangerine.

As much as the scent is acrid, the taste is mild. Citrus and berry notes hit different parts of the taste buds simultaneously once the smoke fills up in your throat. On the exhale you will be able to taste some spicy notes.

Lemon DD has 18% THC and 0.2% CBD. Patients will benefit from the wide array of therapeutic benefits offered by this strain. Some patients have used this strain to treat anxiety, depression, appetite loss, and stress. Since the cerebral effects are not overwhelming, this strain can be consumed at any time of the day.

It is not uncommon to see users rolling down in laughter and enjoying the company of others. Those who suffer from social anxiety can use this strain to help them relax and enjoy social situations.

The cerebral buzz also presents an opportunity for indulging in creating projects that require creative juices. As this strain helps in boosting the moods, it is beneficial for those with mood disorders.

Terpene Profile

Terpenes give cannabis strains, as well as other plants and insects, their characteristic aromas. There are over 200 different terpenes that have been identified.

Lemon DD has a mild floral scent that is derived from terpineol. This terpene is a common ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and flavors. It contributes to the couch-lock effect of this strain. It also offers antibiotic and antioxidant benefits.

Myrcene

Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in most cannabis trainsIt is also responsible for the earthy, musky notes, resembling cloves. Myrcene has sedative effects.  It has also been reported that myrcene helps to combat inflammation and chronic pain.

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene has spicy and peppery aromas. It is the only terpene that binds to CB2 receptors, and it promotes the effects of the other terpenes when it is present in a strain. It has analgesic properties. Some studies have shown that this terp may have a role to play in alcohol rehabilitation.
