Left Coast Standard is no stranger to the Leaf. This Leaf Bowl recipient has raked in five first-place trophies and even graced the pages for a special Harvest Issue garden tour in November 2023. But this year’s correspondence doesn’t come from the sun-soaked hills of Southern Oregon, rather, right where this Rebel Grown-bred Lemon Sugar Kush left us: the couch.
The small team at Left Coast Standard works with native, living soil and Certified Clean Green cultivation tactics on a plot of earth they’ve been nurturing for years. While they undoubtedly dabble in new and trendy Cannabis cultivars, this crew continues to pay homage to classic varieties — like Leaf Bowl winners and ’90s-originated Orange Blossom and Juicy Fruit — that may otherwise face the fate of falling to fads.
Lemon Sugar Kush may not have roots reaching into the ’90s, but it supplies an old-school, heavy-headed high that is nearly nostalgic. It’s always important to acknowledge that each human experiences Cannabis differently due to many personal physiological factors. But after multiple experiments and test subjects (a sophisticated way to say “the sesh”), we found it offered a similar and soothing sedative outcome to most.
This flower’s fumes and flavor find themselves somewhere between dinner and dessert. After a meaty, pepper-cream pinch on the palate, it slips into the second course of herbal, candied citrus, wrapping up the third and final round with a warm sugar cookie surprise. Like any multi-course meal, you’ll likely be left feeling fulfilled and sleepy. Set this one aside for a cozy autumn curl-up on the couch, and don’t forget to snag some snacks.
