Frozen Lemon Mints (Cannabis flos Four 20 Pharma): unknown lineage and two conflicting descriptions

• Who supplies it. Exclusively Four 20 Pharma, so there is nothing to compare versions with, and a supply break means the absence of this strain, not another version of it.
• Profile. Terpinolene leads, alongside caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, myrcene. We do not provide percentage shares because sources count them against different totals.
• Origin. Lineage unknown. This is a result, not a gap to fill: we do not add parents based on name similarity.
• What is missing. Two sources describe the profile differently, so the rest of the set is disputed, not established.

What is Frozen Lemon Mints and where does this strain come from?

Unknown lineage. Frozen Lemon Mints appears in Polish listings without established parents, so the origin of this strain cannot be provided today. It is only known that it reaches pharmacies in Poland as the flower of one producer, and the two services describing it do not even agree on the type of plant.

The empty lineage field here has two possible causes, and it cannot be determined from the outside which one has occurred: the breeder never revealed what they derived this line from, or the available descriptions provide parents so inconsistently that the lineage graph leaves the field empty instead of choosing one version. Writing anything there by intuition creates a false kinship that then lives its own life in subsequent descriptions. There are twenty-five strains without established lineage in this listing of eighty-five, so this is not an exceptional situation.

The name does not clarify anything. The mints component is shared by two other entries in this cluster, Kush Mints and Triangle Mints, both of which have documented parents, and moreover, one common parent. They are siblings to each other, not a strain that shares only one word in the name. Similarly, the lemon component is carried by four entries in the listing, and only two of them have established parents.

The type of plant is also not determined. One catalog describes this entry as a hybrid, the other as a hybrid with a sativa dominance, and such a difference cannot be reconciled by averaging. The type label in this case is someone’s classification, not a result of laboratory designation.

Which producers supply this strain to Polish pharmacies?

One. In the inventory of this cluster, Frozen Lemon Mints appears exclusively as a raw material from Four 20 Pharma and corresponds to one pharmacy position, not several versions of different strengths. One producer has sixty-three out of eighty-five strains in the listing, so comparing series between suppliers is ruled out by definition.

Since there is only one pharmacy version, the table below does not compare variants of the same flower, but two catalogs that describe it. They differ in the composition of listed terpenes and the type of plant, and one of them does not provide a tolerance for THC content at all.

The discrepancy concerns four terpenes. Caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, and myrcene are listed only by the first catalog; the second mentions only terpinolene and nothing else. Thus, both agree only on which terpene leads, not on what else is in the profile. The other five strains from this producer in the cluster are GMO, Gastro Pop, Gorilla Glue, Mac 1, and Masterpiece; their descriptions are conducted in the entry about this producer.

Presence in pharmacies is not constant. The approval of the raw material has a term and can be withdrawn earlier, and deliveries can be interrupted without notice, so a position present in the warehouse one month may be unavailable the next. Therefore, we keep the current list of what can actually be purchased in one place, in the strain listing, not in the description of a single strain.

What does Frozen Lemon Mints smell and taste like?

• caryophyllene caryophyllene
• limonene limonene
• linalool linalool
• myrcene myrcene
• terpinolene terpinolene (leading in the pharmacy listing)

Citrusy, with a fuel and vanilla note. This is how one of the two services that catalog it describes this strain; the other does not provide any aroma at all. This is a sensory note, not a measurement result, and different people describe the same flower in different words, especially after a series change.

The citrus direction in this description is attributed to terpinolene, a compound that is said to have a fresh, resinous, and slightly floral scent, also known from hops, coriander, and tea tree. The name of the strain suggests mint, but no mint has been shown in this profile: the mints component is a part of the trade name, not a record of composition.

The taste impression depends on what happens to the raw material before serving. Terpenes are volatile and decrease when stored in heat and with each opening of the package, so the same flower from two different series can smell differently. Therefore, the aroma description from the catalog is a point of reference, not a promise of repeatability. The same catalog also assigns a fuel description to the strain, which in the tasting dictionary means a sharp, gasoline note close to the smell of solvent.

It should also be remembered that the aroma description comes from the same catalog that is the only one listing five terpenes for this strain. The second mentions only terpinolene, so the notes attributed to the other compounds stand on one source, just like their share in the profile.

How long does it take for the strain to take effect and how long does the effect last?

It depends on the method of administration, not on the strain name. For Frozen Lemon Mints, no one has separately measured either the moment when the effect begins or how long it lasts. Therefore, we are left with a description of the behavior of cannabis flower taken by inhalation or orally, common to all positions from the pharmacy.

The method of administration determines the course more than the strain itself, and the ranges below describe it, not this cultivar, because pharmacokinetic studies for a single cultivar have not been published.

For Frozen Lemon Mints itself, neither the profile composition nor the THC content provided by the catalog changes this. Listings that provide their own duration of action under the strain name transfer general data about the method of administration to it and do not refer to measurements made on this line, because such measurements do not exist. The feeling of the length of the episode also depends on the dose, whether someone is taking the raw material for the first time, and other medications, and these three things differ among patients more than the names on the packages.

What is known and what is not known about the effects of this strain?

It is known which terpene leads in the description, and little else. No studies on the Frozen Lemon Mints strain have been published. For terpinolene, there are two studies, both conducted outside the human body, and what the commercial description promises is a seller’s declaration, not a measurement result in a patient.

The first of these studies is an experiment on mice. Inhaled terpinolene exhibited sedative effects in mice; the effect also persisted in mice with impaired smell, indicating that the effect occurred after the compound was absorbed into the body through the nose, not solely through the perception of smell.

The second study does not concern the body at all. Terpinolene reduced the level of AKT1 protein and inhibited the proliferation of human leukemia cells of the K562 line in culture; the study did not concern pain, sleep, or anxiety.

No effects of terpinolene on pain, anxiety, or sleep have been demonstrated in humans or in any animal pain model; available data only includes sedative effects after inhalation in mice and effects on leukemia cell line in vitro. Beyond these two studies, there remains sales material: the catalog assigns stimulating and balanced effects to this strain, which is a description of expectation, not a result of research. Patient reports may align with such a description, but they are collected without a comparison group and without blinding, so they do not resolve anything about the raw material itself.

What side effects have been reported from this strain?

None specifically for this name. There is no public listing of symptoms for Frozen Lemon Mints because no one in Poland counts reports divided by cultivars. The common picture for the entire group of cannabis flower is described below, and it is the only available answer.

Reports of side effects are collected for the medicinal product with a batch number, not for the strain name, so the following concerns cannabis flower as a group of raw materials. The most commonly reported are dry mouth, red eyes, and increased heart rate. Less frequently described are dizziness upon rapid standing, daytime drowsiness, and temporary worsening of short-term memory, as well as anxiety that increases with dosage. A separate issue is medications taken concurrently, especially sedatives and those affecting coagulation: their assessment requires knowledge of the entire list of preparations, not just the description of the plant. We do not provide the frequency of these symptoms numerically because public listings for cannabis flower in Poland do not separate them by individual products.

The very method of data collection explains why the strain name does not appear anywhere in these listings. A patient reports a symptom to their attending physician or pharmacist, and they pass it on together with the batch number of the package, as that package is the medicinal product. As long as registration looks this way, a public listing divided by cultivar names will not be created, and this also applies to this entry.

At what temperature should this strain be vaporized?

There is no single correct value, and it cannot be calculated from the terpene profile. Public databases provide a boiling point for terpinolene around 184 degrees Celsius, but boiling is not the threshold at which the compound begins to vaporize. The method of taking the raw material is determined by the attending physician, not the table.

Public records for terpinolene are not a single point. The PubChem database provides two values for it: 187 degrees and a range of 183-185 degrees measured at a pressure of 760 mm Hg, which gives a spread of several degrees already at the source level. The other terpenes listed in the profile of this strain boil at very different temperatures, from around 167 degrees for myrcene to over 250 degrees for caryophyllene, so there is no single setting that would represent the entire profile at once.

Boiling is not a switch. The compound also vaporizes below this temperature, and the rate of vaporization gradually increases with heating, so the popular targeting of the boiling point of a chosen terpene is based on a misunderstanding. Separately, we explain why terpene temperature tables can be incomparable and why the number set on the vaporizer is not the temperature of the flower.

For the patient, this results in one thing: the terpene profile does not turn into an instruction manual for the equipment. The raw material from the pharmacy is dispensed by prescription, and the method of administration and dosage is determined by the attending physician, who knows the rest of the treatment. The temperature at which terpenes evaporate from the flower is a separate topic, and we describe it in a separate entry.

Which strains are related to it?

None. The lineage graph of this cluster does not assign any siblings to Frozen Lemon Mints because without established parents, there is nothing from which such kinship can be derived. This is not a gap to be filled in the next update, but a simple consequence of the fact that the origin of this line remains undisclosed.

This is well seen in the mints component. Kush Mints has parents bubba kush and animal mints, Triangle Mints has triangle kush and animal mints, so these two strains share a real common parent and the graph connects them. Frozen Lemon Mints does not enter this pair because it is unknown from whom it inherited anything.

Similarly with the lemon component. In the cluster, it is also carried by three entries: Frosted Lemon Angel descends from lemon skunk and kosher kush, Lemon Haze Gelato from lemon haze and gelato, and Lemon Skunk is in the same situation as the strain described here, meaning without established lineage. Therefore, the common word in the name is information about nomenclature, not about genetics.

Establishing kinship would require either a statement from the breeder or a consistent record in independent sources, and for this strain, there is neither. Until this changes, the sibling field remains empty, and it is also presented as such in the listing of strains available in Polish pharmacies. The empty field carries information that cannot be replaced by assumption: we do not know.

Frequently asked questions about Frozen Lemon Mints

Is Frozen Lemon Mints sativa or indica?

Two catalogs describing this strain provide different answers: one calls it a hybrid, the other a hybrid with sativa dominance. The type label is a descriptive classification, not a result of laboratory designation, so it cannot be used to derive predictions about effects.

How much THC does Frozen Lemon Mints contain?

Only one of the two sources provides a manufacturer’s tolerance for this entry, and after considering it, the THC content falls within the range of 24.3-29.7%. The second source does not provide a tolerance at all, so a single number from the label would be a record of precision that no one measured.

Is the lineage of Frozen Lemon Mints known?

No. The parents of this line have not been disclosed or the available descriptions provide them inconsistently, which is why the lineage graph of this cluster leaves an empty field for it instead of choosing one version. There are twenty-five strains without established lineage in the listing of eighty-five.

Which producer supplies Frozen Lemon Mints to Polish pharmacies?

Four 20 Pharma, and this is the only producer of this strain in the listing. It corresponds to one pharmacy position, so there are no versions of different strengths that could be compared with each other.

Does terpinolene have a sedative effect?

In mice, sedative effects were demonstrated after inhalation; this has not been studied in humans at all. Transferring results from rodents to humans is not justified, and the second available study on this terpene concerns cells in culture and says nothing about well-being.

Is Frozen Lemon Mints consistently available in pharmacies?

Availability changes over time and cannot be provided in the strain description. The approval for the raw material has a five-year term and can be withdrawn earlier, and deliveries to wholesalers can be interrupted without notice, which is why we only keep the current state in the strain listing.

Cannabis flower is a pharmaceutical raw material dispensed by prescription in the Rpw category. The material is informational in nature and does not replace consultation with the attending physician. The store category cannabis flower is conducted separately, as it is a product of a different category than pharmacy raw material. Editorial text: ubucha.
