Where Super Lemon Haze comes from

Super Lemon Haze is a Dutch seed company strain. Leafly credits Green House Seeds and lists the parents as Super Silver Haze and Lemon Skunk. Wikipedia names the breeder as Franco Loja, Green House’s co-founder, and dates it to the late 1990s in Amsterdam. Both parents trace back to Skunk #1, and Super Silver Haze adds Haze and Northern Lights #5 to the mix.

It made its name in competition. It took first place at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam in 2008 and again in 2009, which is why Leafly calls it a “two time Cannabis Cup winner,” and it later won the High Times Medical Cup in Seattle in 2012 in the sativa category. Few strains on NYC menus have a longer award record.

It shares its Haze side with Jack Herer, and like White Widow it is a Green House Seeds release.

Aroma, flavor and terpenes

The name is accurate. Leafly’s flavor tags are lemon, citrus and lime, and it lists terpinolene as the dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. Terpinolene is the same terpene that leads Durban Poison and Jack Herer, and it gives all three a sharp, fresh smell rather than a sweet or gassy one.

THC and effects

Leafly lists Super Lemon Haze at about 19% THC and Weedmaps gives 18% to 27%. NYC labels on Oct 17, 2026 ran from 22% to 37%. The 37% figure was a single listing from Dank at Uplift Royal; most eighths in the city were labeled 22% to 27%.

Leafly reviewers, who give it 4.4 out of 5 across about 2,600 ratings, most often tag it energetic, focused and uplifted, which makes it a daytime strain for most people. The most reported downsides are anxiety, dry mouth and dry eyes. Those are consumer reports, not predictions. Our THC calculator turns a label percentage into milligrams per serving.

Is Super Lemon Haze legal in New York?

Super Lemon Haze is legal to buy in New York only from a licensed adult-use dispensary or licensed delivery service. The rules below come from the state Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and other government sources; our New York cannabis guide covers them in more depth.

  • Age: you must be 21 or older to buy, possess or consume cannabis in New York (OCM, adult-use information).
  • How much you can carry: up to 3 ounces of cannabis and 24 grams of concentrated cannabis, which covers vapes, oils and edibles (same OCM page).
  • Licensed shops only: a business needs an adult-use license to sell cannabis. Licensed stores post the state’s Dispensary Verification Tool, a QR code, near their main entrance. You can check any store on the OCM dispensary verification page or with our license checker. A smoke shop or bodega selling “Super Lemon Haze” without a license is not a legal seller, whatever the bag says.
  • Hemp products: under a federal law signed in November 2025, hemp products with more than 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container become unlawful in November 2026 (OCM, 2025 federal hemp law FAQ).
  • Where you can use it: in a private home or in most places where tobacco smoking is allowed, but not in a motor vehicle and not where smoking is banned. In New York City the Smoke Free Air Act covers smoking and vaping cannabis in most workplaces, parks, beaches, pedestrian plazas, and the indoor and outdoor areas of bars and restaurants (NYC Health, Smoke Free Air Act). Hotels and employers can set their own bans.
  • Driving: it is illegal to drive impaired by cannabis.
  • Taxes: retail cannabis carries a 9% state excise tax and a 4% local excise tax, 13% in total, and no sales tax (NY Department of Taxation and Finance). For sales on and after June 1, 2024, the old THC potency tax on distributors was replaced by a flat 9% distributor tax.
  • Growing it at home: adults 21 and over may grow 3 mature and 3 immature plants, with a cap of 6 and 6 per household (OCM).
  • Travel: it is illegal to take cannabis across state lines, and you cannot use it on federal land. TSA does not search for marijuana, but it refers anything it finds to law enforcement (TSA).
  • Federal law: on April 23, 2026 the Justice Department moved FDA-approved marijuana products and products regulated under a state medical marijuana license into Schedule III (U.S. Department of Justice). A broader rescheduling was still pending when we last checked, so adult-use cannabis remains illegal under federal law.
