Lemon Cake is a sativa variety. The effects people mention most are feeling energetic, uplifted and talkative.
Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 112 flower samples tested between 2020 and 2024 came in at a median of 18.9% total THC (the middle half ranged from 17% to 23.1%). CBD is typically negligible (under 0.5%). That is in line with most flower on dispensary shelves. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.
In lab tests its dominant terpene is myrcene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Myrcene is known for earthy, musky notes with a ripe-fruit edge, while pinene adds sharp, fresh pine. Total terpene content measured a median of 1.4%. Consumers most often describe the flavour as lemon, cheese and citrus.
Beyond feeling energetic, reviewers also mention feeling focused and hungry. Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with anxiety, stress and depression. The side effects mentioned most are dizziness, dry mouth and anxiety. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
