Dirty Lemon. If you’re a similar demographic as I am, you’ve seen ads all over your social promoting them. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve filled my cart with their rosewater, gone to check out, and then talked myself out of it. I mean $65 a case? How do I scam my way into getting the subscription price without getting a subscription? Is $45 for 6 bottles worth it? Every single time I was able to talk myself out of it. That is until I saw their latest batch.
CBD water did it for me. I’ve never given CBD oil a try, but I’ve read a lot about it. With its promises of pain relief and relaxation, it sounded like the perfect way to help combat the incredible stress I’ve been going through. This enough was what it took to convince me to spend $130 on two cases of the water. Impulse buy, anyone?
Dirty Lemon’s ordering process is unique, to say the least. You fill out a form online and then they text you. You actually buy the water over text. And when you need more? Just text them again. A day or two after texting them I had two boxes sitting on my porch. They were packed with padding and ice packs and exclamations to refrigerate immediately.
I was excited to give it a try. Its ingredients sounded delicious: water, lemon juice, pineapple juice, blood orange, tangerine, Beboe CBD oil, and Himalayan sea salt. It tasted less than delicious. The week after I received my water, I read an article on the Cut that contained the most perfect description of its flavor. It tastes like licking the inside of a can of pineapples. Sure, it’s not terrible, but it isn’t something I’d drink if it hadn’t cost me over $10/bottle.
As for its effects. I really can’t tell if it’s placebo or actually calming. The best I ever felt while drinking it was after I ate an edible. Usually, I feel weird and buttery when I eat an edible, but that night I was on another plane of relaxation. It’s best after a long day, fresh from the refrigerator, in front of Netflix. Just don’t eat anything sweet with it because then it’s super bitter.

On Instagram, you’ll find influencers lounging around the pool with a book and a bottle. They’ll tell you how Dirty Lemon’s CBD water made their weekend. It took a load off their shoulders and helped them kick their feet up and relax. It’s all a beautiful scene. So, is it worth $65/case? Maybe if you have the money to spare. Otherwise, just bum some off your rich friends.
Thank you for helping out, good info.
