Lemonnade is the sativa side of the Cookies family, a flavor-first cannabis brand Berner and cultivator Brett Wilson started in 2015 for smokers who chase taste before anything else. It runs vapes, infused prerolls, gummies and drinks in California, plus its own storefronts across three states.
Who's Behind It
The brand comes straight out of the Cookies camp. Berner, the San Francisco rapper who turned genetics into a global name, teamed with Brett Wilson, known in grow circles as Growing Passion, to give sativa heads a house of their own instead of a shelf in someone else's shop.
It still sits under that umbrella, listed beside Cookies and Grandiflora in the same catalog while keeping its own menu, its own look and its own stores.
What's On The Menu
California gets the deepest lineup, and vapes carry it: all-in-one Canna Terp pens, 510 cartridges, solventless rosin AIOs, and dual-chamber units that pair two flavors in one device, like Lemonchello 10 with Tahitian Lime or live resin Medellin with Cake Mix.
Prerolls come as single infused gram joints and five-pack multipacks. Edibles cover 100mg fruit gummies plus an Original Lemonade tin and an iced tea and lemonade version at the same dose, and a 10mg canned drink handles the nights you would rather sip than smoke.
The flavor names do a lot of the talking: Lemon Beltz, Purple Passionfruit, Pink Pineapple, Watermelon Mojito, Sour Mango, Sherbert Swirl, Guava Gelato and Black Cherry Soda.
How It Started
Berner's read on the market in 2020 was blunt: the sativas out there were limited and all tasted the same, so the crew put four years of breeding and development in before opening a single door.
The first Lemonnade dispensary launched July 19, 2020 on Fee Drive in Sacramento with fifteen house sativas on the board. Portland followed that September, when the Magic Castle shop on SW 64th Avenue reopened under the Lemonnade name. Both of those stores are still on the map.
What It's Known For
Sativa, first and last. This is weed built for people who care about flavor above everything, with taste, potency and a smooth smoke doing the selling instead of a spec sheet.
The early menu leaned on indoor, greenhouse and sun-grown flower with prerolls, extracts and carts behind it, and cuts like Lions Mane and Cake Mix did the heavy lifting on the board.
Where To Find It
Eleven storefronts fly the Lemonnade flag. Five are in California: Sacramento on Fee Drive, South Sacramento on 47th Avenue, Van Nuys, Pacoima and Union City.
Oregon has four around Portland, on SW 64th Avenue, NE Columbia Boulevard, in St John's and in Milwaukie. Denver holds one on Washington Street, and there is a Jerusalem location too. Everything is a 21+ purchase wherever you shop it.
The High Rise Read
Lemonnade is what happens when a brand picks a lane and stays in it. Sativa smokers get a menu that is not an afterthought, and the flavor names tell you what you are in for before a budtender says a word.
Effects land differently on everybody, so start low and pick the format that fits the moment. For flavor chasers who want a house with real years behind it, this one earns the look.
