What is Super Lemon Haze?

Super Lemon Haze (often called SLH) is a sativa-dominant hybrid born from two powerhouse parents: Lemon Skunk × Super Silver Haze. This genetic mix explains everything about its personality, sharp citrus flavor, fast cerebral lift, and the kind of social buzz that made it a back-to-back Cannabis Cup winner in the late 2000s.
Genetics at a Glance
- Type: Sativa-dominant hybrid (roughly 80% sativa, 20% indica).
- Lineage: Lemon Skunk × Super Silver Haze.
- Awards: Multiple Cannabis Cup wins for flavor and effect.
THC & Potency
Super Lemon Haze usually tests between 18–25% THC. While not the strongest strain on the shelf, it delivers a clean, energizing high that feels more bright and functional than heavy or overwhelming. CBD levels are almost negligible, which means the effects lean hard into stimulation rather than sedation.
Terpene Profile
The real magic of SLH comes from its terpenes:
- Limonene: dominant, driving that unmistakable lemon zest.
- Myrcene: balances with light relaxation.
- Caryophyllene: spicy undertones and potential inflammation relief.
- Farnesene: adds subtle fruity sweetness.
Together, these terpenes create the iconic citrus-forward profile that defines SLH, bright, tangy, and mood-lifting.
Effects & Experience

Super Lemon Haze isn’t a strain you smoke to sink into the couch. It’s a wake-up call in flower form, crisp, citrusy, and built for momentum. But like any strong sativa, it comes with nuances our Montana customers ask about every day.
Mind
SLH sparks an immediate cerebral lift. Most users describe it as clear, energetic, and creative , the kind of high that makes chores feel easier or ideas flow faster. College students in Missoula often call it their “study weed,” because in the right dose it helps with focus without the fog.
Body
Unlike heavy indicas, SLH brings light, functional body effects. It won’t glue you to a chair, but it will soften tension in your shoulders and make movement feel natural. Locals say it’s great for long walks, snowshoeing, or simply staying active through Montana winters.
Mood & Social Energy
This strain thrives in social settings. The citrus-forward buzz makes music hit sweeter and conversations come easier, which is why budtenders often recommend it for summer festivals, backyard barbecues, or a night at the Wilma in Missoula.
The Caution Zone
Here’s the honest truth: too much SLH, too quickly, can flip the script. Instead of creative energy, you might feel racy or anxious. Veterans and anxiety-prone users often ask about this, and our advice is always the same: start low, go slow. With guidance, SLH is more sunshine than storm.
Medical & Wellness Potential
While most people know Super Lemon Haze for its citrus punch and energetic buzz, many Montanans also turn to it for wellness support. Used mindfully, it can be more than just a daytime mood booster.
Fatigue & Motivation
Locals often describe SLH as their “get-up-and-go” strain. Its uplifting effects make it a favorite for people struggling with winter fatigue or seasonal slump. Veterans in particular ask if it helps with motivation, and budtenders often recommend it as a way to spark energy without heavy intoxication.
Stress & Depression
SLH’s limonene-driven terpene profile provides a bright, euphoric lift that can take the edge off stress. Customers say it helps them reset after long workdays or clear their head before diving into social events. For some, it works like a natural mood enhancer.
Anxiety Considerations
Here’s where guidance matters: while SLH can help ease stress, its strong sativa nature means too much can trigger racing thoughts. Elevated’s budtenders are careful to walk first-time users through dosing, so they get the benefits without the edge.
Pain & Tension
While not as body-heavy as indicas, SLH does provide mild relief for tension and inflammation. Many customers describe it as making chores, studying, or even exercise more manageable by loosening the body without slowing it down.
Everyday Balance
For many Montanans, Super Lemon Haze is less about treating one specific issue and more about bringing balance to their day. It’s the strain they reach for when they want to feel awake, positive, and engaged with life, whether that’s a long hike, a busy shift, or time spent with family.
Flavor, Aroma & Appearance

Super Lemon Haze didn’t get its reputation by accident. From the first whiff to the final exhale, this strain makes an impression that’s as sharp and refreshing as its name suggests.
Flavor
The taste is pure citrus, bright lemon zest with a sweet, candy-like finish. Some describe it like biting into a lemon drop or sipping a sparkling citrus soda. Underneath the lemon kick, you’ll catch earthy and herbal notes that ground the sweetness.
Aroma
Crack open a jar and you’ll be greeted with an intense lemon-forward aroma, mixed with hints of spice and pine. Customers often compare it to the smell of fresh lemon peel grated over a hot dish, pungent, mouthwatering, and instantly recognizable.
Appearance
Super Lemon Haze buds are dense yet fluffy, coated in frosty trichomes that sparkle under light. The flower ranges from bright lime green to deeper hues, with fiery orange pistils curling throughout. When grown in colder Montana climates, some cuts even pick up subtle purple accents.
At Elevated, we like to joke: “If sunshine had a smell, it would be Super Lemon Haze.” And when customers open a jar, they tend to agree.
Budtender Guidance & Lifestyle Pairings
Super Lemon Haze is a strain that shines when paired with the right moment. At Elevated, our budtenders don’t just hand you a jar; we guide you on how, when, and why to use it, so you get the lemon lift without the sour side effects.
Day vs. Night Use
- Daytime: Best enjoyed in the morning or early afternoon. A light dose can spark creativity and focus, great for students studying in Bozeman or anyone needing a midday boost.
- Nighttime: Not ideal for late evenings unless you want to stay up. Many customers find it too energizing for sleep, so we steer nighttime users toward more relaxing strains.
Outdoor Montana Adventures
SLH pairs beautifully with the outdoors.
- Hiking Glacier Park: the citrus buzz makes colors pop and steps feel lighter.
- Ski weekends: a pre-run bowl can add energy and fun (with safe moderation, of course).
- Summer festivals: keeps the vibe upbeat and social, without couch-lock.
Local tip: Spending time up in the Beartooths, the rugged mountain range above Red Lodge, just outside Billings, makes for another perfect pairing. The crisp alpine air and panoramic views complement SLH’s uplifting effects, turning a day in the mountains into a full-sensory experience.
Social Settings
This strain is a favorite for backyard BBQs, concerts in Missoula, or lake days at Flathead. It’s uplifting, chatty, and makes music feel brighter. Just remember, too much can make social energy tip into nerves, so dosing guidance is key.
Veteran & Medical Guidance
Veterans often ask if SLH can help with daytime fatigue without triggering anxiety. Our advice: start low, go slow. In small amounts, SLH offers motivation and mental clarity. At higher doses, it can get racy, which is why Elevated budtenders tailor recommendations to each individual.
Student & Everyday Use
Students love SLH for study marathons, but the key is microdosing. A puff or two can fuel focus; a full joint might send you pacing. Locals also use it for mundane tasks, from cleaning the house to tackling tax season, anything that needs an energetic push.
Or, as one customer said after grabbing a fresh eighth: “Super Lemon Haze makes laundry day feel like a music festival.”
