Lemon Runtz

Lemon Runtz

Lemon Runtz is a hybrid strain, and is loved for its incredibly fruity flavor profile that smells just like a bag of the candy. This strain has resin-drenched buds that range in color from rich purple to lime green which add to the visual flavor. Our Lemon Runtz is sought after for its flavorful smoke that is smooth and inviting. This strain produces euphoric and uplifting effects that are known to be long-lasting.

The main value of this cannabinoid lies in its low potency, which translates into lower psychoactivity. When taken in high doses, Delta-8-THC has shown to cause lower levels of anxiety than its relative Delta-9-THC. This lower potency, together with the substance’s array of medical benefits, prompted researchers to look deeper into its conversion, concluding that, generally speaking, Delta-8-THC produces similar psychoactive effects to Delta-9-THC but is 50 to 75 percent less potent.

Delta-8-THC is often described as an easier, more tolerable version of traditional THC, producing a semi-sedative physical effect without much mental stimulation that allows users to stay focused and go on about their jobs while getting the same soothing effects one would expect from THC. Put another way, Delta-8-THC offers a clear high which does not trigger anxiety or confusion, making users feel less altered and more in tune with themselves than when they use Delta-9-THC, with the upside that it heightens the senses and improves perceptibility, making outdoor activities like trekking and cycling more enjoyable.

According to the US National Cancer Institute, Delta-8-THC can be defined as an analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with antiemetic (inhibits vomit and nausea), anxiolytic (fights anxiety and panic attacks), appetite stimulating, analgesic (relieves pain) and neuroprotective (prevents the aging of nerve cells) properties. As for its mechanism of action, Delta-8-THC binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors in the central nervous system, exhibiting a lower psychotropic potency than the primary form of THC found in cannabis.

Lemon Runtz is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing the potent Runtz X Lemon Tree strains. Named for its celebrity heritage and delicious flavor, Lemon Runtz is a great choice for any hybrid lover who’s looking for a powerfully calming and soothing high. Like its name suggests, Lemon Runtz has a sweet and sour citrusy lemony flavor with a lightly flowery and herbal exhale.

The aroma is much like a sour lemon candy being enjoyed in a citrus grove right after the rain, with touches of earthiness and woodiness accenting sharply sour lemon. The Lemon Runtz high isn’t quite as bright as the flavor, with relaxing effects that are best-suited for a lazy day or afternoon when you don’t have much of anything to do. You’ll feel lifted and happy with a sense of mental calm that leaves you completely free of any mental aches or pains and negative moods.

A soothing body high accompanies this calming lift, helping you stretch out aching muscles and limbs and truly kick back. With these effects and its high 19-23% average THC level, Lemon Runtz is often chosen to treat those suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, appetite loss or nausea, cramps or muscle spasms, inflammation, arthritis and depression. This bud has super sticky and fat pepper-shaped bright neon green nugs with dark leaves, light orange hairs and a coating of tiny, frosty white crystal trichomes.
