Black Dahlia is a popular indica-dominant hybrid (roughly 75% indica / 25% sativa) born from a cross between the infamous Black Cherry Soda and Querkle. The buds present a striking visual: a near-black core that, under closer inspection, reveals a lush blend of red and purple hues. They cling to the resin with a sugary frosting of white crystals, leaving a sticky, aromatic coat.
Its scent and flavor lean floral and berry with pine notes, complemented by a honey sage sweetness that grows stronger as the smoke clears the palate. The experience carries a gentle but persistent perfume that hints at the smooth resin on the buds, inviting continued exploration.
The effect arrives as a rapid uplifted head high that invites socialization and a light tingling sensation, then settles into a soothing, body-heavy calm that can ease into couch-lock and deep sleep. With an average potency around 12 percent, Black Dahlia is a common after-dinner choice and is often used to help ease depression, fatigue, insomnia, and stress.
