About These Strains

Colombian Gold

Sativa 25/75 — THC 1721%

Colombian Gold is some seriously old-school marijuana. A close relative of the even more famous Acapulco Gold, this strain was born in the Santa Marta mountains of Colombia and exploded across the United States in the 1960s.

Its popularity has since faded dramatically, but it remains an effective tool for treating muscle spasms and chronic pain.

Lemon Meringue

Sativa 30/70 — THC 1822%

Lemon Meringue, not to be confused with the like-named “Lemon Meringue Pie,” and also known as "Lemon Mirengue", is a sativa dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through crossing the infamous Lemon Skunk X Cookies ‘N Cream strains. Named for its delectable lemony flavor, Lemon Meringue brings on the creamy delicious tastes alongside a focused and long-lasting high that will have you feeling lifted for hours on end before fading away into a sleepy comedown.

You'll feel a cerebral onset a few minutes after your final toke, filling you with a sense of focus and creative energy that soon fades into a super sedative comedown that almost always ends in sleep.
