In the modern cannabis market, we have a problem. It’s called “The THC Chase.”
Walk into any dispensary in Chiang Mai, and you will see customers doing the same thing. They pick up a jar. They don’t look at the flower. They don’t smell the aroma. They flip the jar over and look for one number: THC Percentage.
“28%? That must be the best.” “18%? That must be weak.”
At Haze Buds, we are on a mission to correct this misconception. Judging cannabis solely by THC is like judging a song solely by how loud the bass is. Sure, bass is important. But without the guitar, the drums, and the vocals, it’s just noise.
The magic of cannabis—the difference between a paranoid panic attack and a blissful, creative flow—doesn’t come from one molecule. It comes from hundreds of them working in harmony. This phenomenon is known as the Entourage Effect.
And there is no strain on our shelves that demonstrates this biological symphony better than our current staff favorite: Lemon Cherry BX2.
In this guide, we are going to take you to cannabis school. We will break down the science of the Entourage Effect and explain why this specific hybrid strain is the perfect example of botanical teamwork.
To understand why your high feels the way it does, you have to stop thinking of marijuana as just “THC.”
The cannabis plant is a chemical powerhouse. It produces over 100 different cannabinoids (like THC, CBD, CBG, CBN) and over 200 different Terpenes (aromatic oils).
For decades, science isolated THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) as the primary psychoactive component. But researchers noticed something strange. When they gave patients pure, isolated THC (like in a pharmaceutical pill), the patients often reported feeling anxious, dysphoric, or simply “flat.” But when those same patients smoked the whole plant, they felt euphoric and relaxed.
Why?
Because the plant compounds work together. The Entourage Effect is the theory that cannabis compounds act synergistically to modulate the overall psychoactive effects of the plant.
Think of it like a rock band:
THC is the Lead Singer. It gets all the attention. It drives the show. It determines the volume.
Terpenes are the Band. The drummer, the bassist, the guitarist.
The Result: If you just have the lead singer screaming a capella, it’s intense but maybe not enjoyable. But when the band joins in—Limonene on the drums adding energy, Myrcene on the bass adding depth—you get a hit song.
You don’t just want THC. You want the whole band. You want the Entourage.
Now that we understand the theory, let’s look at the practice. Lemon Cherry BX2 is a strain that has taken the Chiang Mai market by storm. It is a “Backcross” (BX) of the legendary Lemon Cherry Gelato, meaning it has been bred to reinforce its specific genetic traits.
It is a Hybrid, sitting comfortably between the Sativa and Indica poles. But what makes it our “Top Hybrid” isn’t just that it gets you high. It’s how it gets you high. And that is entirely due to its massive terpene profile.
Before you even smoke it, Lemon Cherry BX2 demands attention. The buds are dense, typical of the Gelato lineage. They are a kaleidoscope of colors: deep forest greens, flashes of royal purple, and pistils that range from rust-orange to fiery red. But the most important visual cue is the Trichomes. This strain looks like it has been rolled in diamond dust. These trichomes are the microscopic factories where the cannabinoids and terpenes are stored. A heavy coating of trichomes usually indicates a robust Entourage Effect waiting to happen.
Open the jar at Haze Buds, and the room fills instantly. This isn’t a subtle strain.
The Top Note: Sharp, acidic Lemon. This comes from Limonene.
The Mid Note: Sweet, ripe Cherry and Berries. This comes from Anthocyanins and specific esters.
The Base Note: Creamy, earthy diesel. This comes from Caryophyllene and Humulene.
It smells like a dessert, but underneath the sweetness, there is a gas-like funk that warns you of its potency.
Let’s break down exactly what happens chemically when you consume Lemon Cherry BX2, and why it feels so “complete.”
The dominant terpene in this strain is usually Limonene. In isolation, Limonene is an antidepressant. It elevates mood. It increases serotonin and dopamine levels.
The Effect: When the THC hits your brain, the Limonene steers it. Instead of the THC making you groggy, the Limonene forces the high to be cerebral and euphoric. This is why you smile. This is why colors look brighter. This is the “Lemon” in the name doing its job.
Caryophyllene is a unique terpene because it also acts as a cannabinoid (it binds to CB2 receptors). It is spicy and peppery.
The Effect: It provides physical relaxation and reduces anxiety. It takes the “edge” off the high THC content. If Limonene is the accelerator, Caryophyllene is the suspension system, smoothing out the bumps.
Deep in the background, there are traces of Linalool (found in lavender).
The Effect: As the initial rush fades, the Linalool ensures you land softly. It relaxes the muscles. It stops you from being jittery.
The Result: Because of this specific “Entourage” of terpenes, Lemon Cherry BX2 offers a “Full-Spectrum High.” You are stimulated but not anxious. You are relaxed but not asleep. You are creative but not scattered. It is the perfect balance.
We stock dozens of hybrids. Why do we keep recommending this one?
1. Versatility Because the Entourage Effect here is so balanced, this strain fits almost any activity in Chiang Mai.
Going to a cafe? It offers focus.
Going for a massage? It offers body relaxation.
Going to a dinner party? It offers social lubrication. It is the “Swiss Army Knife” of strains. You don’t need a Morning Strain and a Night Strain if you have this.
2. Complexity of Flavor We are flavor chasers. The experience of smoking Lemon Cherry BX2 is a journey. On the inhale, you get the zesty citrus. On the exhale, the creamy, doughy “Gelato” flavor coats your palate. It is delicious down to the last puff.
3. “No-Ceiling” High Some strains have a “ceiling”—meaning after a few hits, you just get tired, not higher. Because of the complex interaction of cannabinoids in Lemon Cherry BX2, the high builds beautifully. It is expansive.
To prove the power of the Entourage Effect, here are three ways to utilize Lemon Cherry BX2 in Chiang Mai.
The “Old City” Creative Walk
The Dose: A small amount (micro-dose).
The Effect: The Limonene will make the gold temples of Wat Phra Singh sparkle. The high will allow you to wander the alleyways with a sense of wonder. You will notice the details of the street art and the smell of the frangipani flowers.
The “Nimman” Social Brunch
The Dose: Share a pre-roll with friends.
The Effect: The Caryophyllene reduces social anxiety. You will find yourself engaging in deep, laughing conversations over your Eggs Benedict. The “Cotton Mouth” might be real, so order a large passion fruit soda.
The “Doi Suthep” Sunset
The Dose: A full session.
The Effect: Find a viewpoint halfway up the mountain. As the sun goes down, the hybrid nature of the strain kicks in. You feel the physical relaxation of the day ending, but your mind remains awake enough to appreciate the transition of light.
There is one catch to the Entourage Effect: Terpenes are volatile. They evaporate. If you leave your Lemon Cherry BX2 sitting out on a tray in the Chiang Mai heat for two days, the Limonene will vanish. The Myrcene will degrade. You will be left with dried-out weed that still has THC but has lost its “Soul.” The Entourage has broken up; the band has quit.
Haze Buds Pro Tip:
Keep it Airtight: Always close the jar immediately after taking a nug.
Keep it Cool: Do not leave it in your car or in direct sunlight.
Use Humidity Packs: All Haze Buds jars come with humidity control to keep those terpenes juicy.
Don’t Pre-Grind: Only grind what you are going to smoke right now. Once you grind, the surface area increases, and the terpenes escape within minutes.
Next time you visit Haze Buds, we challenge you to try a new way of shopping. Don’t ask, “What has the highest THC?” Ask, “What has the best terpene profile?” or “Which strain has the best Entourage Effect for [activity]?”
Lemon Cherry BX2 is our answer for the perfect all-rounder. It is a masterclass in botanical chemistry. It proves that nature knows best. It proves that the combination of lemon, cherry, and gas is not just a flavor—it’s a feeling.
Come in, crack a jar, and let your nose decide. If it smells loud, the band is ready to play.
