Best Strains of Weed: Black Diamond

Black Diamond Strain Information

The Black Diamond strain, also called Black Diamond OG or Black Diamond Kush, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain.

This strain is considered rare and isn’t often on the menu at Canadian dispensaries. In fact, a Vancouver will likely have to import it from its native Northern California. When found, it’s worth the search. Why so rare? Black Diamond is a clone-only strain, meaning it can only be reproduced with a cutting from a mature mother plant. You can’t get seeds of Black Diamond due to its unique genetic makeup. It can be grown indoors or out but reaches its fullest potential in soil.

While studies vary, Black Diamond plants can pack in between 17 and 24% THC content. As a fairly balanced hybrid, you get a little of the effects of an indica and sativa: your mood will be lifted for a while and then you’ll get relaxed.

The Effects

Samplers described the Black Diamond strain as clearing the mind and letting them zone in to whatever they were doing. As it’s indica-dominant, this one isn’t really an outdoor party strain unless you have somewhere comfortable to chill, but is good for conversation. However, that sativa in its make-up will give you an early elation and liveliness before fading into indica mellow effects.

If you’re an overthinker or suffer from stress or depression, Black Diamond could be an ideal strain for you. If you struggle with insomnia or just switching off in the evening, this highly sedative strain has you covered. It can also alleviate nausea and help with a lack of appetite.

Appearance, Flavour, and Aroma

Fans have described all sorts of aromas when grinding this weed. Musky and earthy are words that come up often, while some say it has a blackberry or grape flavour. It’s herby, piney and has a slightly sweet draw.

Smoke Summary

Try out the Black Diamond strain and you’ll have a focused, in-depth conversation then take yourself to the couch for a powerful chill out featuring plenty of hunger pangs and laughs. Gain freedom from nausea, overthinking, anxiety and insomnia for a night of bliss.
