Potency
Medellin strain is a hybrid cannabis, which originates from the breeders at Lemonnade. Although it’s difficult to specify its lineage with confidence, Medellin is believed to be a descendant of two legendary strains – Wedding Cake and ChemDog. The primary cannabinoids are THC with an average level of 22% and CBD with nearly 0.27-0.54%. This weed is not only quite heavy-hitting but also rather smelly, so smoking it may be a better option for more experienced tokers than novices. By the way, this strain’s robust odor and the whole variety of flavors is the direct responsibility of the following terpenes:
- Caryophyllene
- Humulene
- Myrcene
- Limonene
- Pinene
- Linalool
- Terpinolene
- Ocimene
Medellin Strain Flavor Profile
When facing Medellin, prepare to be overwhelmed by the intense fragrance of dank earthiness and fuel with some minor lemony hints. The taste combines muskiness and earthiness, disclosing it with subtle fruity notes and a slight flowery flavor on the exhale. In this palette of flavors, humulene provides that subtle fruitiness, which resembles the tastes of pears and peaches. The flowery, violet-like presence is the fruit of cooperation between caryophyllene and myrcene. At the same time, caryophyllene is also the one that creates an almost indistinguishable hint of ammonia.
There are no seeds for this strain, but you can purchase seeds from the parent strain:

Maybe Dorothy took too much at once, didn't feel anything.
SPLENDID taste especially when rolled into a fat joint.
Terrible for people with heart conditions. Such rapid heartbeats I thought I was having a heart attack.
If what you want is to grow a CBD sufficient strain, try Dutch Leopard.
One thing I hate is having to wait for close to three months to have a smoke of my grown cannabis. Not with this one though, Two minths were barely up when I noticed them flowering. That caught my sight and within weeks they were ready for processing. The high was worth all the pruning and watering.
True to the word Vivian Powell is right. Everytime I eat my brownies made with Medellin I feel this general uplifting mood that lasts for long. My colleagues think I am chipper and happier on days that I take these brownies. I even end up chatting them up in the break room.
All first time growers should start with something this easy.
The most appealing thing about Medellin is how much it acts like a typical Indica. The high is something but the relief you get from pain and any worries is even BETTER. i half expected to feel drowsy but instead, it was this unbelievable calm and relaxation. Of course it impressed me.
With such a short flowering period, I could have my weed ready for summer in no time.
Compared to Garlic Budder, I feel that this one leads to a more upbeat and euphoric high. This is comthing that I appreciate especially when I am dancing on fridays. I take a few hits from a joint and when I am up on stage there is nothing else going on apart from me moving my body this way and that way.

Can never be me passing on a THC dominant hybrid, NEVER.
I mean I get why people love these strains but I need some more CBD for me to try a bud. I bake them into cookies or gummies and use this whenever i feel stressed or anxious. CBD levels were unsatisfactory for me if I am being honest.
anyone else feel a mixture of flavors, i felt an earthy taste then flowery and even some fruity. Wasn't a bad mix though.
A one of a kind flower from the lemonade fam always a treat to smoke on!!!!! Perfect for daytime and evening use
