THE LONG ROAD HOME (My Toke)…

My first date with Lemon Cream took awhile to happen. I was referred some by the budtender at Nivana Center but passed because it tested below 2.0 % total terps. However, a few days later it was on sale and I bit. Same batch same terps, etc. 

I was first impressed by the aesthetics of the new eeryday dram with its white shell and the sage green “Everyday” label. But, when I cracked the Curio designated green “Hybrid” tamper tape and unscrewed the dram I was greeted with reassurance of my purchase. Inside was bush country; I saw flashes of purple and bright, bright green, twinkling trichome clusters, and an aroma sparking notes of lemon citrus, honey, berry, and a deep woodsy skunk that just made me want to sample the bud immediately. I felt a tinge of excitement as re-sealed the dram and contemplated the experience that awaited me.

If you vape, this batch would be perfect as the buds were not dense and gummy but more fluffy but not moist; at least, not too moist.
It did occurr to me as it often does with strains whose names feature a citrus fruit in their composition, that Lemon Cream should have been granted a different name more indicative of its aroma and/or flavor. To me, it has more of an orange citrus much closer to a Clementine than any type of lemon.

The effect of Lemon Cream was nothing short of what I had expected but with more of a cerebral quality than I had read about before trying it for myself.

I found the effect to be subtle but very effective; in fact, for me it was downright productive. And, by the end of my stint with Lemon Cream I wanted more. It seemed to me to fit the perfect definition of a day-to-day maintenance strain. One that won’t break the bank but is sure to give you more than a taste of just about every expected effect in the Cannabis effect spectrum; a real box-checker. I say this at the risk of Lemon Cream being thought of as a mundane run-of-the-mill hybrid which isn’t accurate. In fact it was one of the most interesting looking, smelling, and feeling Curio strains that I’ve had in quite some time. 
When I did return to the Dispensay my new Lemon Cream friend had left the building.

My guess is this was due not only to the cost but what you were actuallly getting for that nominal price: a first rate expertly cured, wonderfully aromatic, smooth smoking, and just aboce average potent upper mid-grade cerebrally leaning hybrid.

You can really feel the energy jolt from its GSC and Sour Diesel lineage, which, at least on the GSC side runs all the way back to Durban Poison. This is what gives this strain its cerebral jolt and inspiring euphoria.

Bravo Curio for treating even its benchwarmers as super stars as I can tell just as much went into cultivating this batch of Everyday Lemon Cream as any top shelf MK-Ultra or Banana Hammock.  I’ll be back for more Lemon Cream and I suggest you do the same.
